Cheers! Here's wishing you and yours a helluva good time this 4th of July. The 4th also marks the 1st birthday of LacrosseAllStars and your dashing Co-Founders are sitting on a beach smoking stogies to celebrate.
In honor of the occasion, I can't think of a better man to turn to for inspiration. He lead us through the dark times of war and was brave in the face of near annihilation.
Box lacrosse players have to be some of the toughest S.O.B.'s in sports. I've had the opportunity to watch a few games live and after seeing the abuse those guys take from each other, I'll stick to the field game thank you. That said, we've all probably had the same thoughts as these SportsCenter anchors at least once.
Professional lacrosse must reorganize and market lacrosse as a spectator sport in order to turn profits, fill stadiums and ultimately grow the sport. The recent loss of NLL and MLL teams has a very discouraging impact on the growth of lacrosse at all levels. Lacrosse, unlike most sports, peaks at the college level.
Along with the excellent coverage that the Vail Shootout itself provides, LAS has operatives all over the place out in Colorado and when big things happen, you'll know about it.
This Week's GET JACKED! - Summer, summer, summertime! I know it's the 4th of July weekend but put that hot dog down, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and grab the nearest tire. Scott has more strongman lifts that don't require a $300 membership to a fu-fu gym. You're a SHHHHHAAAARRRKKK this week on GET JACKED!
LacrosseAllStars.com has some great content. I mean, not to sound arrogant or anything, but I'm just sayin'. Wheniwasakid & Mr. BS are crushin' it daily, and things are only getting better. However, one thing LAS completely lacks in covering is Women's Lacrosse.
Good day lax enthusiasts! I wanna start today with a question...OK, a statement AND a question. What is the #1 drill in lacrosse? I’ll give you a hint – anyone who doesn’t know needs to go hit it hard for a couple hours, a couple days a week. That’s right... the all powerful wall.

I've often been a critic of the production quality offered by ESPN during their MLL coverage. Past blunders such as the cameraman losing the ball, or the booth cutting to a close up of the sideline while a goal is being scored, have left me more than a little frustrated at times.

Princeton has made their selection for their next Head Men's Lacrosse Coach and I must say they chose (drumroll please)... wisely. Chris Bates is the perfect fit for Princeton. Let me count the ways:

As the summer rolls on here in the old US of A, club lax season is in full tilt mode down in Western Australia. The Wembley Wolves continued to dominate the WA Smokefree State League and dismantled the Phoenix Lacrosse Club in their latest game. They started out pretty tight with Wembley leading 4-3 after the first quarter but things got ugly soon after as Wembley took an 11-5 lead into halftime and really poured it on in the second half with a final score of 30-6. Yes, 30 to 6, I did not e-stutter.
I know what your thinking: Mondays are a drag and I need that little extra something to get me going through the day. What might that be? Friends? Family? No. The answer: bongos. Lot's of em. This week on GMODT we feature the one and only Incredible Bongo Band and tracks off their sole album, "Bongo Rock".

God must have spilled something on his favorite shirt and needed some Oxyclean pronto because famed pitchman Billy Mays died today. Wandering over to my computer after a break from the USA soccer choke-fest, I was shocked to hear he passed in his sleep at the age of 50. Famous for his shouting delivery, Mays could sell an igloo to an Eskimo.
