GRR: Eagle Men
In just over 30 days the USA Men’s 7s team will take the field in the Olympics for the first time in 92 years, and we still don’t know who will be on the team.
Carlin Isles opted not to participate in this weekend's USA Track & Field Olympic trials, and so passed up a shot at being an Olympian in two sports.
Kevin Swiryn’s comeback story was inspirational, and then tragic, and maybe could be inspirational once more.
The Men's Rugby 7s Olympic draw was confirmed in Tuesday, June 28 in an announcement in Rio de Janeiro.
So a little note in praise of Mike Te’o.
Mike Te’o came to national prominence a few years ago, when Belmont Shore Head Coach Ray Egan said to me and colleague Pat Clifton that he had a U19 player who was good enough to play for his men’s team. He’s a n odd player, said Eagan, because he’s a hooker, who can play center, and we’ve got him playing on the wing.
