This isn’t sports related, but it’s the best forum that I have so I’ll just come out and say it: I have a beef with Leap Day.
It’s not the fact that we have an extra day every fourth year because I do understand the reason for it. Because of the inexactness of the actual time [...]
Thanks to some poor weather on Sunday that carried into Monday morning down on Daytona Beach, Florida, NASCAR’s most prestigious race, the Sprint Cup Series’ Super Bowl, went green in prime time on Monday night.
But was the Daytona 500 ready for prime time? Well, you can argue both ways.
Many will argue that the best part [...]
Sorry about the delay between posts, folks.
We had some administrative issues which has since been resolved. Now back to our regularly scheduled ramblings.
I have to take serious exception to the Rogers Sportsnet poll that they are running to decide the Canadian athlete of the year. In case you haven’t seen it, here is a link.
Canadian Athlete of the Year
Now, I have no problem with Sidney Crosby making the finals. He scored the gold medal winning goal at [...]
Seriously Alberto Contador? Seriously?
It is finally time to completely give up on cycling forever. For the umpteenth time, the guy who won the Tour de France has failed a doping test.
How many times are we going to be put through this mess? A guy gets caught by the sport’s increasingly improved tests, he makes up [...]
It took a little while to get it up a running, but it looks like our twin blog, Up in the Nosebleeds, is live.
The address — in case the above link doesn’t work — is:

You can check out our writings there or here. Our entire archives will still — and always — be available here [...]
After seeing what happened with the Wimbledon final last year between Federer and Roddick and now this year’s epic of Isner-Mahut, maybe it is time for the English club to change their tiebreak rule to the current one.
Seriously, matches that span three days and last 11 hours and five minutes – the fifth set alone [...]
It has been three and half years, two website addresses, a couple sponsors, a massive redesign, a lot spam comments and one hell of a lazy intern, but Running The Point has reached 1,000 posts with this one you’re reading right now.
We’ve covered it all in the sporting world over these 1,000 posts: Summer and [...]
So apparently it’s news now that a guy who was caught cheating has admitted that he’s a cheater? Well, not really, but now he’s hurling accusations around the already seedy world of professional cycling.
What he’s done, at this time is just plain dumb. Does he really care so little about damaging the sport that made [...]
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 [...]
