During this current NFL season, my overriding interest was not how a team did but rather how my fantasy football team performed.



Wake Forest takes on Navy

Sep 27th, 2008 | By Brian Leon | Category: Wake Forest Football

On a cool, wet day here in Winston-Salem, the Demon Deacons host the Navy Midshipmen. This may prove to an interesting game in terms of playing styles. Navy is still pushing the rush dominated option offence while Wake Forest is now a true balanced team. Last year, Navy gave the Deacons some trouble early on [...]



Wake Forest starts its 2008 football season tonight

Aug 28th, 2008 | By Brian Leon | Category: Wake Forest Football

Tonight in Waco Texas, Wake Forest kicks off its 2008 season. Playing against the Baylor Bears, the Deacons have some expectations to live up to as a 23rd ranked team.  With a more mature offence lead by Rily Skinner and one of the best back field defenses in the ACC , tonight’s game should be [...]



Wake Forest gets respect

Germany versus Spain today. Looks like a cracker of a game. Caught the second half of the MLS game between DC United and LA Galaxy playing in Washington DC. Great crowd that got into the game.
It’s a great day for soccer.



Euro 2008 - Germany vs Turkey

Jun 25th, 2008 | By Brian Leon | Category: Soccer

The semifinal game between Turkey and Germany should be a cracker of a game even with the fact that the Turkish side is somewhat crippled by injuries and players out on yellow cards and suspensions. The long association between Turkey and Germany with turkish workers in Germany for decades doing the more menial type of [...]



Sports and more sports

Second round of NHL playoffs are going to begin tonight. To me it is all about the Montreal Canadiens as they are the last Canadian team left in the playoffs. Ottawa is not going to return to the finals this year (so too is the champions from Anaheim). So the team that I once love [...]

Feb 10th, 2008 | By Brian Leon | Category: Wake Forest Football
