It is time for the Rapture my friends. Huddle close with your loved ones for the day of judgement has arrived and the mighty Timothy Tebow will rise up, throw inaccurate short passes, one decent long pass, run around and induce erotic asphyxiation among older white males. There is no hope, do not fall prey to false idols such as the mumbling coach with a bad haircut and a fondness for married women and the well-coiffed quarterback from the England of New. Their wickedness in the Tuck Rule Game must be avenged. Continue reading

The Wild Card round has come and gone and as I correctly predicted it was pretty blah, with the exception of one game. The Giants and Texans spanked the Falcons and Bengals respectively. The Broncos won in the shortest overtime ever over a battered Steelers team, and the Saints decided to run up the score on the Lions (more on this later). Coming up in the divisional round, we have several rematches from the regular season and one that was played during the preseason that even has a bit of a story line. Let’s just dive right in to each game: Continue reading
The 2012 Dakar Rally is going down this month in Argentina, Chile and (for the first time ever) Peru. So what the hell is Dakar? It’s a multi-stage long distance off-road car, truck and motorcycle race that used to be held between Paris and Dakar, Mauritania. Since 2009 has been held in South America due to concerns about terrorism in Africa (but they kept the name Dakar anyway).
Much like its Mexican cousin, the Baja 1000, Dakar is notoriously dangerous for both racers and the alcohol-fueled lunatics who line the courses to get a close-up view of 1000 hp rally trucks at full throttle. So not surprisingly, it’s a treasure trove of great videos. Let’s take a look. Continue reading
Today is a day when some of us football fans are bitter and sour (bite me, Mark Sanchez*), some of us are gloating, and others are still biting their nails as we watch our teams make their final effort to earn a playoff spot. Check out our NFL Wild Card Preview article to find out all the games and Wizard Ross’s predictions of how things will play out. Here’s the low down for today:
It’s playoff time. Sadly, this year the first round looks pretty bland with very little chance at any upsets (although the Seahawks proved that anything can happen in the playoffs). None of the games are true rivalry games and some of these teams are so devastated by injuries they are starting guys who were sitting on the couch drinking beer 3 months ago, so let’s dive right in to round 1 of the NFL playoffs: Continue reading

Merry Christmas me, er, NBA fans everywhere! After a 5 month lockout the owners and players came to their senses and realized no one makes money if basketball isn’t being played. Now we have a healthy five game menu for our usual Christmas day games. Continue reading
The NBA is back on Christmas Day and you can go to hell if you don’t care. With a condensed 66 game schedule, there figures to be a lot of random upsets, blowouts and overall very sloppy play. But everyone who likes college basketball should feel right at home. Continue reading
On Monday 19 December 2011, China commenced the trials of about 60 players, referees and officials over allegations of corruption and match-fixing, after a crackdown that began in January 2010 (see above video). Besides match-fixing for gambling syndicates linked (inevitably) with organised crime in East Asia, the trials cover more petty forms of corruption such as the sale of positions in the Chinese men’s national soccer team, which has gone from qualifying for the World Cup in 2002 and making the final of the Asian Cup in 2004 to not qualifying for any World Cup since then. To put this in perspective, North Korea qualified last time and China did not. Continue reading
Today is a day when many of us who are interested in football feel torn – a Sophie’s choice of sorts. Do we go with Uggs pitchman, generally douchy, past Superbowl champion, Tom Brady. Or Jesus-loving, generally detestable, and not at all proven NFL quaterback, Tim Tebow. On who’s side will Jesus be today? Continue reading
