With the transition from summer to fall sports quickly approaching, I find myself anxious to continue my quest (which has only just begun) of attending a game at as many professional sports stadiums/arenas throughout the country as I can. I love sports (some more than others), but the most interesting thing about these visits are [...]

I was watching the Twins-Tigers game the other night when Detroit pitcher Joel Zumaya unleashed a 99 mph fastball and ended up on the ground grasping his arm in agony. Turns out he fractured his elbow – obviously terrible news for Zumaya and his team. But if any good can come from this, it’s the [...]

  Excited for the NBA Finals? The Lakers - Celtics rematch starts today and should draw great ratings and be a damn good series (I got Boston in seven). In fact, Andrew Ungvari over at Bleacher Report thinks it could be the best Finals in 20 years and makes a solid argument. Yup, the match-up that pits [...]

5.  Lucas Oil Stadium is fantastic. When I think of football stadiums, the Metrodome in Minneapolis and the Georgia Dome in Atlanta come to mind – large, rounded structures capped with white, puffy domes.  Lucas Oil Stadium could not be more different.  The outside of the stadium looks more like a large shipping warehouse than [...]

It is undeniable that Joe Mauer and Brother Ali are kings of the Twin Cities. Both have achieved superstar status in the last few years with their natural talents and abilities and have not forgotten their roots. Brother Ali has become a household hip-hop name with sold-out worldwide tours; his most recent album reached No. [...]

On Tuesday evening at 10:18, the Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball team (ranked #1 in both the coaches’ and Associated Press polls) was defeated by the University of South Carolina Gamecocks.  The Wildcats entered the game with a record of 19-0 and had many analysts wondering aloud whether or not this basketball program was capable of [...]

  **Debatable We’ve already said it, but I’ll say it again – 2009 was an amazing year here at Fast Horse. We were a part of some really incredible programs with our clients and tossed around a lot of good** ideas together and got to execute some of them. But as Mike pointed out about music [...]

With the World Series upon us again, it’s a good time to reflect on the place of baseball. Start with this collection of World Series programs from the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Another point worth pondering is baseball’s position as America’s No. 2 sport. “The national pastime,” as it’s so often referred to, has deep [...]

Is it just me, or have fans basically shrugged their shoulders at Manny Ramirez being suspended 50 games for failing a drug test a couple weeks ago? The second I saw that Manny had been suspended on my Twitter feed I thought, “Man, this Mannywood thing just started to really take off – tough break for the Dodgers [...]

After hearing about its great, icy joy, I finally attended my first U.S. Pond Hockey Tournament at Lake Nokomis. Appropriately, the temperature hovered in the single-digits. Spectators bundled in winter boots and snow pants, clutching cups of coffee and hot chocolate. While one visit was more than enough, I’m happy to cross off one of [...]
