Unlike most sites or papers that awarded their Athlete of the Year before 2011 ended, I find it only appropriate to actually wait until the entire year had run its course before doling out the award.
My choice isn’t going to be the most popular, mainly because the man himself isn’t exactly the best person out [...]
I can understand the rules in sprinting that disallow guys from getting a free shot at trying to get a jump on the gun, but does anybody have the fans in mind?
On Sunday, tens of thousands of people attended the Track & Field World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, many with the intention of just [...]
Like any year in sports, a lot has happened in 2010. Since everybody else has chimed in with their two cents about what they liked and what mattered most, why not cop out for once — OK, maybe more than once — and throw down a list of my own favourite moments of the year.
Now, [...]
With the NHL dropping the puck for the stretch run of their season – after stupidly taking off time for the Olympics – I have a good question for Commissioner Gary Bettman: Were you watching the men’s ice hockey tournament? Because if he was, he might have noticed that the Olympic set of rules is [...]
They may have started out pretty rough – heck, a guy died before the Opening Ceremonies even took place – but the hosts sure come together and the as the days moved on.
The beginning of Vancouver 2010 was a comedy of errors, from the Georgian luger’s death to the weather being the warmest in Winter [...]
Team Canada’s ice hockey team had better thank their lucky stars for two things: That Roberto Luongo is currently better than Martin Brodeur and that they lost to the U.S. in the preliminary round.
Luongo’s play in net has far surpassed that of Canada’s apparent No. 1 goalie and now the whole country is reaping the [...]
It wasn’t exactly a sequel to the Miracle on Ice, but Sunday night’s game had a familiar story line. A young and plucky American ice hockey squad faced a juggernaut rival in a big Olympic moment. The USA, despite having the odds stacked against them, pulled out a win over the overwhelming favourite. Sure, winning [...]
Can you believe that we are living in a world in which the Winter Olympics are going on and that isn’t stopping pitchers and catchers from reporting to Spring Training? Spring Training and Winter Olympics going on at the same time? Sounds like some sort of paradox.
It could be easily argued that these Games hardly [...]
In case you didn’t notice by the endless commercials, promos and posters everywhere for the Winter Games, the Vancouver Olympics kicked off last night while the NHL packs up their league to sit around idle for two whole weeks in the middle of what should be the start to their stretch run.
Why would a league [...]
The Winter Olympic Games are just around the corner and that means the NHL will stop working and send its best players to out to represent their countries. The other 90% or so, they get a two week break with maybe a practice or two in the middle of the season. While I’m sure many [...]
