Naazim Richardson Saw a Side of Floyd Mayweather No One Else Did

It was dubbed the fight of the year – the fight that would be the biggest threat to Floyd Mayweather’s undefeated career. Instead, Saturday night just another walk in the park for the man who calls himself “Money.” We saw a different side of Mayweather, however, during his destruction of “Sugar” Shane Mosley. While [...]

Congrats to Lefty

What an amazing scene to watch on Sunday when Phil Mickelson embraced his wife Amy after winning the Masters.  It’s tear-jerking moments like this one that makes sports the most compelling drama you’ll find on television.  Sure, I love to watch my Tar Heels win, but watching Phil hugging his wife or Bob Huggins consoling [...]

Tiger’s New Nike Ad – Genius

A lot of people seem to think Tiger’s new Nike ad is controversial because it features his father, Earl’s, voice.  I happen to think it’s genius.  Wieden+Kennedy proves once again they are one of the best (if not the best) advertising companies out there.  They obviously got Tiger’s consent to shoot the commercial and probably [...]

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

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.
