Who Cares About the Beijing Olympics?

I am a sports fanatic and I love the Olympics. I have been to every Summer Olympic city and most of the Winter Olympic cities. I could tell you the host cities for every single Summer and Winter games. I could list you most of the gold medalists for the major events since the modern [...]

Olympic Gender Testing

This is absolutely brilliant. Apparently, in an effort to prevent cheating and doping, they are now testing not only for steroids and performance enhancing drugs at the Beijing Olympics but they have an entire lab devoted to testing if supposed female athletes that physically look like men are actually males. As a matter of fact, [...]

Viva Espana

Spain stared their demons in the eye and conquered their competition today as they dominated play against Germany in their convincing 1-0 win in the final of Euro 2008. There was no doubt who was the best team, today, and the whole tournament. Spain shed their 44 year label of being chokers on the worlds [...]

Wimbledon Draw Is Out

The tennis Gods are not smiling on Roger Federer in his quest for an unprecedented sixth straight Wimbledon Championship. His side of the draw is murderous while Rafael Nadal’s on the other side of the draw is a cake walk. Except for a possible semifinal matchup with two time finalist Andy Roddick. However, Roddick has [...]

The US Open and Tiger

What else can be said about Tiger Woods. If you have been watching this week at the US Open, you have seen some incredible drama, moments and shots from the best player that ever lived. Really, it’s hard to summarize how great this guy is and how calm he stays under pressure and how he [...]

Euro 2008

I’ve been meaning to write my preview and predictions for Euro 2008 for a week now but better late than never. First of all, this tournament is awesome in so many ways. It is second in my view only to the World Cup and only because it is missing the great South American players. This [...]

Rafa Rules Roland Garros

Rafael Nadal proved once and for all yesterday that he no equal and really no challengers to his dominance on clay as he thoroughly dismantled the best player in the world, Roger Federer, in three sets at 1, 3 and love. It wasn’t even close. I have seen nearly every match the two have played [...]

The Stanley Cup Finals

It’s very rare that you will see me write about hockey on this site or even talk much about it in general. There aren’t many fans around but last nights triple overtime game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals had to be the best game I’ve ever seen. I’ll be honest, I didn’t start watching [...]

This Is It!

After a long and grueling campaign, the Champions League final-the most watched sports event of the year, is an all English affair for the very first time. Chelsea and Manchester United, the Red Sox and Yankees of English football, battle in Moscow at Luzhniki Stadium in a game that will be watched by more than [...]

All English Final

After two great semifinals we are left with Chelsea and Manchester United in the Champions League final which will take place May 21st in Moscow. They beat Liverpool and Barcelona respectively. This will be the first time there has ever been an all English final and I am sure that more than a few pints [...]
