I prefer college basketball to the professional variant, the former being comprised of aspiring young athletes that play both ends of the court, and the latter – to my way of thinking, anyway – consisting of 10 overpaid guys that jump into the air every 22 seconds. But I typically don’t spend much time [...]  Finally, what the world has been waiting for: A flash mob Haka in a New Zealand shopping mall. It’s the rugby season, innit? For the uninit, here are the All Blacks getting ready for a scrum in Eire. The Yemeni beach volleyball team recently lost a match at the Asian games, and like losers generally, they sought to explain why: Organisers of the games in China have hired four cheerleader squads, each made up of eight girls, to entertain fans during breaks in the volleyball action, according to the Tianfu Morning News.

He entered the nineties with back-to-back cover-driven fours off the bowling of Danish Kaneria and sealed [...] Do we really have to wait until 2040 for the Navy quarterback to run for the highest office in the land? Because some of us don’t have that much time… |
