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 [...]
Well, there’s no doubting that this team has a lot of money to throw around: Anzhi Makhachkala, undoubtedly the best team in Dagestan, is reportedly going to be paying Samuel Eto’o $28.8 million per season.
To put that in perspective with other soccer stars, Chelsea defender reportedly makes around $13 million a year, Barcelona superstar makes [...]
Just in case you missed it, Real Madrid made an extraordinary signing on Monday – and no they didn’t pay somewhere in the range of $80 million for a big-name striker. I’m actually quite sure that Leonel Angel Coira cost significantly less and he won’t have an immediate impact for the La Liga side either.
No, [...]
If there’s one thing that has been settled in the world of sports this past week, it’s that Canada’s women’s soccer team is pathetic. How else could you explain the national team’s result at the Women’s World Cup?
In three games, Canada didn’t earn a point and could only score one goal – even if it [...]
It has been quite a season for Dwayne De Rosario, who is seemingly getting no respect where ever he goes in MLS. Toronto didn’t want to pay him the big bucks, so they shipped him to New York. New York didn’t want to pay him the big bucks, so they shipped him [...]
Being off for the long weekend, I haven’t had a chance to weigh in some pretty key events that have taken place and are currently going on in the world of sports. So, Let’s sum up some opinions from the nosebleeds, quick hits style.
THE NHL’S RETURN TO WINNIPEG
Well, it took you long enough. They’ll certainly [...]
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. [...]
In the wake of a bribery scandal that alleges that some voters were bribed for their votes in the process of allocating the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, I have but one thing to ask: Can you really be surprised?
This story was not shocking in the least and, quite frankly, was expected. I mean, in [...]
Working in the sports department, this is one of those weeks that you both hate to love and love to hate. Just think about how much is going in this span of seven days. Well, it’s kind of actually eight days, but who cares?
First of all, three of North America’s biggest sports are in progress. [...]
It almost seemed like, at times, somebody up above was toying with Bayern Munich on Tuesday. How else could you explain the polarity of its luck in the Champions League round of 16 matchup with Intern Milan?
It started off very off early with a Samuel Eto’o run that would probably be called offside 75% of [...]
