January is the month for resolutions. Some of us are determined to save more money this year, while others aim to get engaged or go back to school. Overwhelmingly, New Yorkers are in a mad dash back to the gym, hoping to drop that 5 or 30 pounds the holidays helped pack on. For most of us this isn’t the first time we’ve tried to lose weight. It isn’t the first time the winter blues and decadence of the holidays have caused us to increase a jean size or two. So what then, will be different this year? We’ve done the exercise before, we even bought the Weight Watcher’s Points book last year, it didn’t work. Is there something wrong with us?

December 2nd, 2010 ed.gemdjian 
by Edward Gemdjian If you were to look at Drew Zimmerman exercising this morning, you may have thought “Did he play college baseball or football?” or “What is he training for?” At 6’4″ and a trim 210lb., the Drew of today bares no resemblance to the overweight 17 year old he was after a serious […]
ESPN Marion Jones Documentary Falls Short on Sincerity
November 4th, 2010 ed.gemdjian Marion Jones is my favorite female athlete of the early century. She was an extremely hard worker and always a professional. When she finally admitted to using performance enhancing drugs, I had many questions about what led her to her decisions and how she beat the very accurate Olympic testing.
Needless to say when I found out ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary series was doing a piece on Jones, directed by John Singleton no less, I was extremely excited. I even got my girlfriend to watch it with me. After an hour full of dramatic speeches in front of high school students and a story about how she landed herself in solitary confinement during her stint in prison, Cathy and I looked at each other with confusion. “Is it over? What about…”

October 20th, 2010 ed.gemdjian by Cathy Prince Writing a column scares me to death. I think to myself every time I sit down to write anything, what do I have to say? And why would anyone care to read it? There are lots of things I am passionate about from singing and acting, to working out and baking (the […]
