I’ve got a few things I have to ask the sporting world. There have been a few calls and decisions made that just don’t make sense over the past few days and I’d like to address these.
How the hell did Matt Millen run the Lions (into ground) for so long and got away with doing [...]
Instant replay is finally in Major League Baseball. How long overdue was this move? I can understand not wanting to incur even more delays in games that are drawn out as it is but implementing it for boundary calls like home runs and fair-foul decisions is a great step forward. I still remember that one [...]
The Olympics have come and (finally) gone. It will be another four years before we, as fans of real sports, have to endure our Sports Centres being filled with rhythmic gymnastics results and canoeing or race walking updates. So here were my lasting impressions of the 2008 Beijing Games…
I really don’t believe how much I [...]
How about that Michael Phelps. A whopping eight Gold medals in a single Olympics to bring his career total up to 14 — five more than anybody else. Plus, he’ll be back in the pool, swimming for even more glory in London’s 2012 Games, if he feels like it. Now, he may have “saved the [...]
While taking some time off of Madden 09 to watch the Olympics (Madden review coming soon!), I’ve really started to appreciate some of the fringe “sports.” Now, being a guy who would normally bash people who have dedicated their lives to swimming, male gymnastics and beach volleyball, I found myself quite drawn to the tube [...]
Nothing like waking up extra early on a Sunday morning to watch team USA battle some champions of communism. This was definitely a tale of two halves. Thanks to the American’s ineptitude at guarding the 3-point line, China was able to stay in it for the first half. But eventually the lack of depth on [...]
Well, you have to give it the Czech Repiublic. For a while there, they were the leading medalists at the 2008 Olympic Games after winning the first possible Gold Medal in air rifle shooting. Katerina Emmons probably won’t be remembered a year from now (maybe even a month from now) but at least she’s on [...]
Since Dan likes to rain on my parade, it looks like I am going to have to put my summer on hold and write down my predictions for the Olympic Basketball. I was all about team USA and I thought for sure they were going to bulldoze their way into the gold medal game, but [...]
The Olympics come and go every four years and for some reason, people dedicate their lives to these games. Athletes train day in and day out for the chance to compete in a silly event that occurs every four years. Sure, they have some smaller events in the time in between The Games, but for [...]
