I’m here in Paris at the tournament. Got last minute tickets on a vacation already planned, and my wife was cool enough to use this as our excursion outside the city rather than Versailles or Chartres. Took 2.5 hours to get from our hotel into the Le Golf Nationale after waking up at 5. But...

I can contribute some medical/injury writing (I'm in sports medicine). I also live next to Fenway Park and will attend a number of games - could give some game reports or views of what it's like to live in the area during the season.

From http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/: QUOTE Red Sox first rounder Kolbrin Vitek said tonight that he has a "verbal agreement" in place with the Red Sox. Vitek, a 21-year-old college infielder said on a conference call that he expects to start his pro career soon, since he and the Red Sox have...

QUOTE (B H Kim @ Nov 13 2009, 01:25 PM) I haven't seen this mentioned, but in King's mid-season NFL awards piece in the magazine this week, he gives the Comeback Player of the (half) Year Award to Favre. That's got to be self parody, right? Don't get me started on that nimble-minded twit...
