A very interesting week of activities recording three podcasts, watching my kids enjoy the last big BBYO event of the year and seeing one of my former Northwestern students really step up with her Foundation.
A very interesting week seeing the work of the Special Olympics, taking a behind the scenes look at the renovations at Wrigley Field, watching Julia go to Prom and getting a chance to attend another Tony Robbins event with Kayla.
Very interesting behind the scenes tour of some of the private clubs at Wrigley as Crain’s Chicago Business hosted an event with Ryne Sandburg and Crane Kenney.
This week’s Roy’s Ramble takes a look at the Chicago White Sox Game Changers event, Passover, Easter and much more
As the accolades for Tiger poured in over the last few days (all well-deserved), it got me thinking about how unlikely it was. Not Tiger’s performance, but the fact that so many people wanted to see him do well. As a society, we often hear about the desire to see someone comeback from a past mistake. Should we give them all the second chance most have given to Tiger?
Take a look at this week’s ramble which includes Tiger Woods, Daylight Savings Time, Al Bernstein’s induction into the Illinois Boxing Hall of Fame and David Goldstein’s book Alley Oop to Aliyah.
For any of you that have spent time in Israel, you know that sports are a big part of the culture. One of the enduring themes has been Maccabi Tel Aviv competing in European Championship games using African-American players who were not able to get (or stay) in the NBA.
What are Tiger Woods’ biggest accomplishments? My take might surprise you as I look at two areas where Tiger has performed feats beyond reasonable expectations.
Each week I am planning to look at some of the stories and news that I found most interesting. This space will include some sports, but not all of the sports stories that I normally follow in the areas of sports philanthropy, sports law, sports business, Jewish sports, concussions and otherwise. If you want to see more of what I am following in those areas, let me know and I can point you to the best spots on my blog or various websites. You will see that I love to find some of life’s little absurdities and point those out as well as other interesting stories that I follow.
