About Me

Thanks for visiting my sports page! I also have a girlier blog called lifestylebygoldie (http://lifestylebygoldie.com)which focuses on things that make me smile such as fashion and photography but I found that posts on my other big love, sports, weren’t as well-read. So, I’ve decided to start a page dedicated to competitive sports where I can flex my yoga-toned muscles! Although I’m a NY/NJ girl, I currently live in London so I’m totally thankful for ESPN America and SKY Sports for broadcasting select live games. When I can’t stay up that late – I do have a small child after all! – I record the games and watch them along with Pardon the Interruption and SportsNation to keep up-to-date.

That said, it’s only fair that I mention my favorite teams:  Hockey (New York Rangers), Baseball (New York Yankees), Football (New York Giants) and Basketball (New York Knicks). Obviously, I’ve just alienated a large percentage of American sports fans  but I promise not just to talk about NY sports I also follow college basketball to a certain extent, especially as my parents now live in North Carolina (UNC is my preferred team), although I have a strong rooting interest in Big East teams.

Finally, I feel I must mention that I have an Italian husband. Not an Italian-American one but a real Sicilian. Despite the fact that he is obviously soccer-crazy (for Juventus ironically) and we lived in Milan for nearly 3 years, I will NOT post about this sport as I find it excrutiatingly boring. No, my “European” sport of interest is rugby which is just as tough as (American) football but has the flow of a hockey game.

Enjoy and please comment – I’d love to hear from you!
