Sure, Matt Garza may have thrown the fifth no-hitter of the season and first ever by the Tampa Bay franchise, but that’s not the story involving a pitcher I’m going to talk about. Heck, in a year when we’ve now seen five no-nos and two perfect games (almost three, Jim Joyce), it’s really getting borderline [...]
What is up with athletes going on Twitter to announce deals that haven’t been made yet? In the past few weeks, we’ve seen Tyson Chandler announce that he was traded, Reggie Evans say goodbye to the team that still owns his rights and Matt Barnes announced that he would be signing with Toronto, a move [...]
Maybe Gary Bettman and the higher-ups at the NHL’s front office read this blog. That could be a reason why they put the kibosh on Ilya Kovalchuk’s 17-year deal with the Devils.
As I said here Tuesday, this megadeal was an obvious way to work around the league’s salary cap system. The years on the end, [...]
In recent years, there have been some mega-deals handed out to players. Some players might have been getting a bit more than they deserved. And a lot of players have signed for a lot longer than they deserve and longer than truly makes sense.
This has now all come to head with the signing of the [...]
This British Open was precisely what golf needed, and I say that with as much sarcasm as I could possible infuse in that statement.
In the most prestigious tournament that there is, a person that even die-hard fans had probably not even heard of won – and held a nice lead from early on too. Louis [...]
It may have taken 14 years for it to happen, but the American League’s big brothers finally got their revenge. Yes, after 12 wins and a tie, the AL’s unbeaten streak at all-star games is over.
Tuesday night’s all-star game was very typical of how this season is gone. It was pitching and defence dominated with [...]
For as much good as there was at this year’s World Cup, there were, of course, more than a few disappointments. From the officiating, to the vuvuzelas to the play – sometimes – there was plenty to gripe about. So, how about a list of the XI most disappointing things from South Africa 2010?
The referees: [...]
The glorious, golden World Cup trophy wasn’t the only hardware handed out on Sunday in Johannesburg. The individual player awards were also handed out and FIFA did a great job with their selections.
Golden Ball – If David Villa, Wesley Sneijder or even Xavi or Arjen Robben had put on a better showing in the final, [...]
They weren’t the prettiest team at the World Cup, or the best, but they ended up as the champions. Spain has shed their label as underachievers on the world stage by conquering the Netherlands in extra time on Sunday to win the 2010 World Cup.
For a team with so much talent, they weren’t very convincing [...]
The World Cup has all boiled to two nations and both are unlikely finalists. For the first time since 1958, we will see a team win their first World Cup that wasn’t on home soil. For the first time since 1958, we will see a team from the opposite hemisphere win the title. For the [...]
