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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The headline’s just in case you didn’t already know that. Yesterday, just to make the tour a bit more ridiculous, the leader of the event, Michael Rasmussen, was removed from the race by his own sponsors. This actually came after he won yesterday’s stage and looked like he was set to take it all home [...]
The Olympic committee announced yesterday that Sochi, a Black Sea ski resort in Russia, will host the 2014 Winter Olympics. Sochi beat out Pyeongchang, South Korea in the final vote while Salzburg, Austria lost out in the first round between the final three competitors.
This marks the first time that the games have been awarded to [...]
Forget anything about Barry Bonds and his chase for 755 (he sat yesterday due to sore legs; what a wimp). A hallowed mark was shattered yesterday in New York City. At the Nathan’s hot dog eating championship in Coney Island, Joey Chestnut and second place finisher Takeru Kobayashi both beat out Chestnut’s record of 59 [...]
I’ll keep this short and simple. If Chris Benoit is even as much as mourned now, I may be sick. These is the last words on this site about the coward who was once regarded as one of the best techincal wrestlers and an inspiration to many.
It has been reported that his seven-year-old son, whom [...]
With the news breaking that Chris Benoit’s death turned out to be a double murder-suicide, everyone’s stance on the tragic deaths of he and his family has completely reversed. While mourning and sympathy should still be given for his wife and son, none should go towards a man who killed his wife and his own [...]
