Crazy or Crazy in Love?

I read tonight on foxsports.com that Elin Nordegren has agreed to move back in with Tiger Woods.  And now I’m wondering why in the hell she would do such a thing.  He cheated on her God knows how many times and honestly, what’s going to make him stop?  A little sex therapy?  The guilt he [...]

Kim Yu-Na Gives a Performance to Remember

Kim Yu-Na’s coronation as Korea’s Queen was completed Thursday night as she stood atop the medal podium with the gold hanging around her neck.  Kim dazzled the world with a performance for the ages, one that will go down as possibly the greatest in Olympic figure skating history and one of the greatest in any [...]

A New Kind of Nervous

I’ve been nervous about a lot of things before: tests, doctor’s appointments, any Duke/UNC game, whenever a fly ball heads Luis Castillo’s way.  But there’s always that extra bit of nervousness whenever I watch like the World Cup or the World Baseball Classic.  Something involving the major sports though.  The Olympics are great and I [...]

Yu-Na-ver Know

Especially in the Olympics.  Especially in figure skating where one mistake can drop you from first to fourth faster than you can say Lysacek.  Make fun of me all you want but I’m looking forward to watching ladies figure skating tonight and Thursday night.  Why?  Because my boo and fellow Korean Yu-Na Kim (pronounced Yun-Ah) [...]

The Tiger Woods Brand

The Tiger Woods Brand

So as most of the sports world now knows, Tiger Woods has decided to take an indefinite leave of absence from the game of golf. As a fan and admirer of Tiger Woods’s contribution to the sport of golf and to the sports landscape in general, I felt torn about this entire Tiger situation. He’s [...]

Implications of the Pacquiao-Cotto fight

Following Pacquiao’s complete decimation of Miguel Cotto in yesterday’s “fight”, the thought of a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight has the casual fight fan absolutely crazed right now. Pacquiao has been absolutely ruthless since his second victory over Juan Manuel Marquez back in 2008. In the past year and a half, Pac-man has been tearing through big-name opponents [...]

Crazy Bitch

Elizabeth Lambert is one crazy bitch.  How did she not get thrown out of the game after any one of these incidents?  Awful job by the refs or whatever they are called in soccer.  Give her a damn red card.  Damn.  #7 on BYU is pretty hot though.  Definitely a boo.

Thoughts on Andre Agassi…

I haven’t yet read Andre Agassi’s tell-all saga, but by all accounts it is an incredibly revealing book about his self-destruction into crystal meth addiction, his tumultuous and public relationship (and nasty break-up) with Brooke Shields, and his abusive relationship with his father who trained him as a child. I don’t really care about the [...]

Mayweather-Marquez Scorecards (sort of)

OK, so this article started out as a round-by-round analysis of the fight. YJ and I were going to keep our own scorecards and turn that into an article. Mid-way through the fight, I realized how ridiculous this was, because our scorecards (and everyone else’s who was watching the fight) would look exactly the same [...]

Yang Slays a Tiger; Usain Bolts to a WR

Unforgettable is a term we throw around all the time when it comes to sports.  We say some plays and events are unforgettable when truth be told, I’ll probably forget what happened a week later and need to look it up on ESPN.  But the weekend gave us two truly unforgettable events.  First in the [...]
