Straub: Sports doesn’t make much sense anymore
The first time I remember going to Fenway Park, I was eight years old. Roger Clemens was young, skinny, and considered a nice guy. Around the same time, I attended my first hockey game. There was a NHL team at what was then the Civic Center.

Who’d a thunk it? Girls go for car guys…ECO-FRIENDLY car guys. Ladies, can you tell us why? [see article]…

“Just in case you needed another reason to care about the environment: It turns out girls dig guys who dig environmental technology.

According to a study conducted by GM as part of this year’s Challenge X competition:

* Nearly 9 in 10 women (88 percent) say they’d rather chat up someone who owns the latest fuel-efficient car versus the latest sports car.

* More than 4 out of 10 (45 percent) 18- to 43-year-olds say it’s a fashion faux pas nowadays to have a car that’s not green or environmentally friendly.

Little did we know we’ve been fashionable all along! (OK, maybe not me – I’m still tooling around in my old Sentra.) No one seems to have told 80 percent of America that it’s actually greener to keep driving your current car than to invest in buying a new one.”
