Old School Meets New School: Knicks Tweetup 2010 #NYKTweetup

Written by Amanda Rykoff on February 28, 2010 - 0 Comments
Categories: Basketball, General, Social Media, Sports, Tale of the Tweets

What on earth was I doing at a Knicks game on a Saturday night? I’m not a Knicks fan. And I was getting over the worst cold I’ve ever had. So why would I drag myself out of my nice warm, cozy apartment to see a team that’s lost nine of its last ten games? [...]

Why NBC Did a Good Thing (You Read That Right)

Written by Amanda Rykoff on February 22, 2010 - 6 Comments
Categories: Diatribes, General, Olympics, Sports

I am not an NBC apologist. I will not and cannot defend NBC’s truly indefensible choices regarding its reality show coverage of this year’s Winter Olympics.  I’ve been an outspoken proponent of #NBCFail.

You’ve all seen my Twitter and Facebook rants and whines about the Olympics. Why do I have so much Olympics hate? I’ve realized that it’s not actually Olympics hate. It’s NBC hate. (And no, this has nothing to do with the Conan/Jay Leno Tonight Show debacle, though that certainly didn’t help matters.) No, the reason [...]

Why I’m Not Making a Super Bowl Prediction

Written by Amanda Rykoff on February 7, 2010 - 1 Comment
Categories: Football, General, Sports, Travel

This is a shot of the Saints taking the field at the Superdome on December 31, 2006. I was there. Sitting at the 50 yard line (yeah, I got lucky with great seats).
I love New Orleans. This April, I’m going to Jazz Fest, which will mark my 7th trip to the Big Easy. Two Final [...]
