Ole.. Ole Ole Ole..Ole.. Ole.

After Norway defeated England 2-1 in a 1982 World Cup qualifier, the Norwegian commentator failed to control his delight and went absolutely berserk with one of the most famous rants of all time.

“We are the best in the world! We are the best in the world! We have beaten England 2-1 in football!! It is completely unbelievable! We have beaten England! England, birthplace of giants. Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana–we have beaten them all. We have beaten them all. Maggie Thatcher can you hear me?”

“Maggie Thatcher, I have a message for you in the middle of the election campaign. I have a message for you: We have knocked England out of the football World Cup. Maggie Thatcher, as they say in your language in the boxing bars around Madison Square Garden in New York: Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!”

Wow, they start the English fans young!

World Cup 2010: Ten Teams to Watch

No workouts this weekend..  I will be adding some weekend workouts in the future but with so much strength training lately I figured it’s best to take the necessary rest that my body needs…  feeling really good about the last 2 weeks, with PR’s everyday!  Constantly Improving!  So, tomorrow bright and early I will be gearing up for the USA v England match-up, should be one hell of a game!!!

This Monday I will continue the series of blog posts of people that inspire me, you never know, you might be one of them, and if you’re not…. you could be one day.  Enjoy your weekend, you deserve it.

The best goals of the 2006 World Cup

Who Dat?!

If the Almighty were to rebuild the world and asked me for advice, I would have English Channels round every country. And the atmosphere would be such that anything which attempted to fly would be set on fire.   Winston Churchil

Jeremy Thiel, do you know him?  I have had the good fortune of watching this MAN grow into the MAN he has become today.  When Carey and I first started dating JT was only 15 at the time!  I can still remember vividly him asking me for help on his math homework the very first time I met him!  So to say that I have watched JT grow up is not stretching the truth by any means.  I’ve been there for the high school football games, I was there to take him and his friends to the Dave Mathews concerts, I was there to sneak him and his friends into the clubs before they were 21 to dance like madmen!  I was there when he told his parents he wasn’t going to finish college.  I was there in the beginning when Crossfit Central was a boot camp on the hill and workouts on my carport.  Through it all, I have watched JT evolve like no other person I have been around.  It’s real easy to read the right books. hang out with the right people, say the right things….but to walk the walk and apply what you have learned is a whole other ball game.  I have learned more about being a man, businessman, athlete, humanitarian from Jeremy then he probably knows.  So if you don’t know Jeremy Thiel, you better ask someone, because I have a feeling I haven’t even seen anything yet.  When Jeremy tells (last night at Wink) me that at 28 he has accomplished everything he has ever set out to do….all I could think of in my head was “damn, wait until you start setting “impossible” goals and start achieving them”…. should be fun to watch and be a part of!

Power Vegan Meals For Hard Training Athletes by Mike Mahler

Here is a little blast from my hard dancing days!

Yes may I have another?!

Urban Dictionary:  The act of spanking or being spanked, and asking for more.

Shanequia: *smack* Ya like that, ho?
Dave: Yes ma’am may I have another?!

So, how did the Crippler Chipper treat you?!  I’m not entirely sold on the name of the Wednesday workout.  If you have any thoughts on a better name I’m all ears. For now it will be changed to the UnderGroundShack Throwdown.

As I mentioned on Monday, I want to spend the next 4-5 blog posts highlighting people that are not only huge motivational figures in my life, but very inspiring people as well!  And to start the list off,  my wife Carey Kepler.   Carey and I have been in each others life since 1997, and it has been an amazing journey for us together but just as amazing to see the women that Carey has turned in to.  My friends use to hate on me when we first started dating, saying crazy stuff like ” she is too crazy for you… she isn’t girlfriend material…. you can’t trust her.. ”  and the one I heard most was  “Kris, you better stay away from her, she is no good!”  But even through our rough times I always saw the woman I knew she was going to turn in to!  And boy was I right!  Just to name a few things….she is co-founder of Crossfit Central which has over 700+ clients, a very successful personal trainer, a professional athlete, the mother to two of the most precious kids one could ask for, and a loving wife!  And to think if I listened to my friends I would have the life I live today.  So if their is anything I can say about love, is to follow your heart and to adhere to this quote

“You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.” Barbara De Angelis

because had I not listened to my heart, only God knows where I would have ended up…and between you and I, it wouldn’t be a pretty place!
