I’m sure that Kevin Bieksa’s game-winning goal was just like they drew it up in the locker room between the first and second overtime. Well, not really because I don’t think that anybody has ever seen a weird bounce like that.
In fact, it seemed like Bieksa was the only player on the ice – maybe [...]

Talk about hanging a crooked number on a team. Last night, the Cleveland Indians showed the world that the Kansas City Royals may not be on the road to recovery like many believe. The evidence: A 19-1 final score including a ten-run fourth inning.

For a day, I knew what it felt like to be a fan of West Ham United.
Thanks to the incredible parity and astoundingly tight race at the bottom of the English Premier League, more teams than ever are going into the last weekend of the season with a chance of being relegated to second-tier football. [...]

Did we just witness the end of an era?
With the Dallas Mavericks unceremonious sweep of the two-time defending champion Lakers, this could be the end of the Kobe Bryant era. Sure, he’s still going to come back and be one of the top 10 players in all of basketball next season— if and when that [...]

Derrick Rose is now officially the NBA’s MVP, even if most members of the media and fans were preaching that sentiment for the past few months. Rose, at 22 years old, is now the youngest player to ever win the award, but he didn’t do it with astounding stats. That’s where you can really punch [...]

After watching the Canadian federal Liberal party get absolutely crushed during Monday’s election, I tried to think of a sports comparison of what just happened. Well, there’re a few different routes you could go with this one.
Michael Ignatieff took over a party that was doing fine and led the, straight into the gutter. Sounds like [...]
