The "epic Super Bowl" to which Costas referred could have been the most recent Super Bowl, if Santonio Holmes hadn't managed to get his second foot down in the back corner of the end zone. (Then again, most Arizona fans still insist he didn't.) I was at the game and rooting for overtime, in the hopes that the ridiculous nature of the current system would be exposed to the millions of non-football...
A much improved performance from England at Twickenham still resulted in a comfortable 19-6 win for the opposition, so where do we go from here. For all the talk of performance versus results, we saw a reasonable performance and a defeat. An All Blacks victory was pretty much inevitable, so the spirits were lifted by [...]
Les Miles won a national championship two years ago, but in LSU 's loss to Ole Miss, he let 17 seconds run off the clock before a fourth and forever play, converted that fourth and forever play with one second left, directed his quarterback to spike the ball , saw the game end on that spike, and denied he knew who called for the spike in the aftermath. Now he's as close to a firing as you can get...
From Time Magazine… There’s nothing like the threat of war to mobilize the support of a nation. So perhaps it’s not surprising that posturing over a soccer war with Algeria may be the most popular move the thoroughly unpopular Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, has made in a long time. On Nov. 14 and again on Nov. 18, [...]
Thierry Henry's actions after his "Hand of Frog" assist on goal. He regrets celebrating the goal. But not actually the goal itself. What has he done so far to absolve himself? He consoled Richard Dunne. Then in his press interview,...
Thierry Henry has said that he considered drawing a close to his international career, after the furore over his now infamous handball. The ex Arsenal star occupied both the front and back pages last week, after his handball ended Republic of Ireland’s World Cup dream in Paris. Henry handled the ball before laying on for William [...]
EXCLUSIVE : SOME of Australian rugby's biggest names are locked in a million-dollar legal stoush over an email allegedly sent in the aftermath of the Wallabies' 2007 World Cup demise.
Mr. Brian Cowen is the Prime Minister of Ireland I might be able to forgive saying something dumb in the immediate aftermath of an important game in which an official blew an important call -- maybe even Joe Nathan's recent impulse to bitch and moan about the egregious missed call in a game in which the call wouldn't have happened at all if he had done his job. But it's both hilarious and pathetic...
First off, a Kronwall update: The latest today is that it’s a grade-2 or -3 sprain and that he’ll be out 2-3 weeks. However, that’s a preliminary diagnosis (possibly handed down by the training staff) and isn’t the final one. He has to go through more tests today. Second, a Laraque response: The AP quotes him [...]
by Ray Holloman Filed under: Arizona , Oregon Oregon delivered the knockout blow to Arizona , but the Wildcats gave themselves a black eye Saturday night when a bottle thrown by someone in the crowd sent Ducks cheerleader Katelynn Johnson to the hospital in the chaotic aftermath of Oregon's 44-41 double-overtime win. According to OregonLive.com , Johnson, a senior, was struck in the head by a water...
So while watching Celia travelling the globe was enjoyable, I wanted to know how the EP was going to impact the game when the novelty of adventures and traveling wears off. So in this final installment, I'm going to show you a little bit of the aftermath of what Celia's adventures have brought to her life in Sunset Valley.
History has proven there are two subjects that will move Egyptians into the streets in riotous numbers, crashing windows, battling each other and defying an army of club-wielding riot police.
An ambassador recalled . Another embassy under siege. A level of alert we haven’t seen in years here in Cairo – it’s nothing like the original Football War but if we play our hand right, it’ll be immortalized in a Wikipedia entry of its own titled “Egyptian-Algerian football war of 2009”. It started in June. No no, strike that - it started in 1989. A frustrated Algerian...
So, France made it to the World Cup at the expense of the Republic of Ireland. Expected? Maybe. Still, the way Les Blues made it through is far more than questionable. For those of you who were hibernating during the past week and somehow don’t know how France qualified, Thierry Henry handled the ball 13 minutes into extra [...]
