Captain Clark Flies Fast, Pulls Gs
2008-05-15 06:00:00 (c) OnFrozenBlog - http://www.onfrozenblog.com/ - Apparently traveling 700 miles per hour and pulling 7.5 Gs is safer than the Verizon Center Ice. From the post-flight press release: “It’s not often that you get to enjoy what truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Clark said after the flight. “I’m thankful to the Blue Angels and the staff at Andrews Air Force Base for the opportunity and thankful to all the men and women in our military for all they do to keep us safe and secure. To witness firsthand the stresses on your body that these pilots endure is really remarkable.” “Lieutenant Weisser and I talked the entire time we were in the air about what I should expect and how my body was going to react to different circumstances,” said Clark. “It was a wild ride and an unbelievable feeling. Nothing I have done compares to this.” Washington Capitals captain Chris Clark smiles before a 45-minute flight with the Blue Angels in which he reached 700 miles per h...

Sorenstam Swigs Swill
2008-05-15 03:23:00 (c) OnFrozenBlog - http://www.onfrozenblog.com/ - Annika Sorenstam recently announced her retirement from golf at age 37 at the end of this season. Despite winning just last weekend at the Michelob Ultra Open, she’s ready to call it a career. Perhaps moments like this had something to do with it: Smooooooooth As pucksandbooks noted, whereas in hockey age 37 is getting up there (don’t tell Chris Chelios that), in golf it’s pretty much a player’s prime. He was also convinced that while Michelob and its Ultra brand were indeed the tourney’s sponsors, compelling a champion to actually drink it is a sinister and cruel act, worthy almost certainly of a DOJ investigation/civil rights lawsuit. If I were her, I would have sprayed it, NASCAR-style, instead of sipping it. Much easier on the constitution. Copyright © 2008 On Frozen Blog. This feed is for personal non-commercial use only.
