How great is Usain Bolt? Quite simply he is the best sprinter ever and yesterday he was at it again. Just days after smashing his year-old record for the 100-metre sprint, he smashed his year-old record in the 200-metre dash. The weird part: He beat both World Records by .11 seconds.
Not to say that he [...]
While we’re sure to see home monster homers tonight in the Home Run Derby, there was only one monster in the ring for UFC 100’s main event. That monster was Brock Lesnar and to say that he dominated Frank Mir from the beginning of the match until Lesnar was pulled off a defenseless opponent might [...]
ESPN.com ran several promos on their site this weekend about how this Saturday was “Showdown Saturday.” While one or two of the events didn’t particularly live up to a headliner’s billing, they did get it right for the most part.
On top of the NHL and NBA playoffs – which are moving along quite nicely I [...]
When you start to think about all the great times of the year that sports has, is there any better than this week — the first week of April? You have two sports wrapping up their regular season — the NBA and NHL — with great races determining playoff seeds, division battles and even lottery [...]
I don’t know how it happened, but Roger Federer, who is arguably one of the best tennis players ever, is on a losing streak. Two games in a row in fact. Not shocked at this horrific slump? Well you should be. The key thing to remember here is that tennis is not like any other [...]
Well, just a day after what I jokingly called a shocking retirement in the world of women’s sports, an actual one surprised everyone.
Justine Henin, the world’s number one women’s tennis player, walked away from the game. Henin, who is only 25 years old, quit just a week and a half before the French Open; an [...]
Ryan Dempster is dumb. Going out and saying that your team will end their 100-year World Series drought is ballsy, but quite dumb. There are forces beyond his power at work behind the scenes at Wrigley Field that will keep the Cubs from winning. It’s called a curse. Besides that, the Cubs are by no [...]
In late 2007, a boxer from South Korea successfully defended his WBO intercontinental flyweight championship against a Thai foe. Now, Choi Yo-sam is dead. Almost immediately after being awarded the win on points, Choi collapsed and went into a coma. Yesterday he was declared brain-dead and his organs were donated for transplants.
After seeing the photos [...]
The beginning to this NBA season has been one rollercoaster ride so far. Who would have predicted that about four games into the season that the Brand-less Clippers would be on top of the Pacific let alone the entire league. Nobody ever thought the Bulls would start out 1-4 and the Heat and Wizards still [...]
Yesterday, on the same day that the punishment for the Patriots camera-gate was announced, the governing body of Formula One racing, the FIA, announced the McLaren team is in VERY deep. If you thought the fines that Bill Belichick got ($500,000 announced yesterday) or that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has piled up were big [...]
