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.

Two Draws After First Leg Semis

After two Champions League semifinal first leg matches between four of Europes biggest clubs, we have two draws.

It is rumored that the former two time world player of the year for FC Barcelona and Brazil, Ronaldinho, could be leaving the Catalans for AC Milan.

Champions League Quarters

Today begins the Champions League Quarterfinals Second Leg with my favorite team Arsenal heading up to Anfield to face Liverpool for the third time in 6 days. The first two matches at the Emirates in North London ended in draws and Arsenal needs at least one away goal tonight to give them a chance to […]

US Sports Are Back-Finally!

After a hiatus since the Superbowl, there will actually be sports to watch on television this week with the unofficial start of the 2008 sports season as March Madness and the NCAA college basketball tournament begins. February was the worst month for sports in America with only the unwatchable NBA and the boring NHL regular […]

Champions League Update

Yesterday, the first four teams advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals with Arsenal, Barcelona, Manchester United and as I predicted before the group stage-Fenerbahce all advancing on aggregate scores and in fact penalty kicks for Fenerbahce. The games yesterday were riveting and there are three more this afternoon with the final second leg between Liverpool […]

2008 Australian Open

It’s that time of year again for my favorite major tennis tournament and the first of 2008, the Australian Open. There are a lot of great story lines coming into the grand slam of Asia and the Pacific. Can the great Roger Federer win his third straight Aussie Open and fourth in five years and […]
