InsideLacrosse.com: For Rochester's Joe Walters, home opening has double meaning

Joe Walters is ready to come home. After two straight road games to open the season, the Rochester Rattlers are sporting a 2-0 record after a come-from-behind 17-14 victory over the Boston Cannons on Friday night. Notoriously slow out of the gate, this is the first time in franchise history Rochester has won its first two games.

Sports fans know that Canada is famous for hockey (their national sport), but few people know that hockey is one of two national sports, the other being lacrosse. The fastest growing sport at the youth level in the U.S., lacrosse is by far the most exciting sport that America overlooks on a regular basis. Unless you live in the hotbeds of the lacrosse universe, Long Island, Western New York, and Maryland, you probably don't know an awful lot about one of the oldest sports in world history, with origins dating back to the 1100s...

Should you feel bad for adding extra ingredients to your beer to enhance the flavor? In the case of Corona, I’m fairly sure it’s mandatory.

But what about other brews? Should you feel any regret for adding another flavor or two into the mix?

This one isn't the NLL, but it doesn't fit into any catagory because it was the only college lacrosse story I had any part in when I was interning for Inside Lacrosse. You'll find my part at the bottom ("Travel Days" and "Roomies")

"Beer Buddies" articles

There are too many to post, but visit http://www.democratandchronicle.com/ to see our work.

Welcome to the greatest show on...the internet?

Welcome to "Chris Osburn Writes". I figured it's about time I made a place for people to find links to all of my work in one place. This is much more professional (in theory) than using Myspace and Facebook.

*Also, on here I don't have to worry about people tagging embarrassing photos of me that really have nothing to do with my writing.

So, feel free to browse the links to see all of my past work. To start, they will be posted for the magazine or newspaper they correspond with.

Whenever I have a new article, I will link to that as well.

Cheers,

Chris Osburn
