  • NBA Franchises All Time Leading Scorers

    Besides Havlicek and Bryant, we thought it would be a good opportunity to refresh memories around the NBA fandom about who leads each franchise’s scoring list, and do any of them have a chance of getting dethroned anytime soon.

  • 100 Best Goals of 2011

    Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo feature twice on the 100 best goals of 2011 list, but so do Juninho Pernambucano and unknowns like Matias Urbano and Gerardo Masini among other incredible goals by famous and vaguely known players alike.

  • What’s Wrong With Running Up the Score?

    We’ve gotten used to Bill Belichick not being the most popular head coach in the NFL. Taping the Jets, now taping the Broncos, and the cynical, cynical act of letting Tom Brady punt on third down. So what? People would have him running up the score, which he was criticized for in 2007?

  • Best Wingers/Supporting Strikers in the World – 2012 Edition

    Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are hands down the best players in the world these last few years, joined by Mario Gotze and Franck Ribery from the Bundesliga, Mesut Ozil and Angel di Maria from Real Madrid, Antonio Valencia and Wayne Rooney from Manchester United and David Silva as the best supporting strikers in the world heading into 2012.

  • Active Grand Slam Champions

    Roger Federer won his first Grand Slam title in the summer of 2003, his first of six Wimbledon titles. Rafael Nadal won his first Roland Garros in 2005, his first of five in six years.

  • Best Midfielders in the World – 2012 Edition

    Still no one better than the Xavi – Iniesta duo, the best central midfielders in the world. Infact, Spain and Barcelona send four players to this eight man list, probably explaining why they are so good, although this season Real Madrid seem to be the team to beat in the La Liga.

  • The History of the BCS National Championship Game in Pictures

    When LSU and Alabama face each other in the 2012 BCS National Championship Game, it’ll be the 14th time teams have played under the BCS’ much criticized format for the national title. As we’ve gotten used to these past few seasons, the SEC will boast the national champion, with an All-SEC final, which was probably the wrong decision.

  • Best Full Backs in the World – 2012 Edition

    Dani Alves being mostly an attacking tool doesn’t mean he isn’t the best full back in the world today, joined by Sergio Ramos, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Marcelo, Jose Enrique, Micah Richards and Philipp Lahm, making up the list of the best full backs in the world heading into 2012.

  • Best Centre Backs in the World – 2012 Edition

    Nemanja Vidic being out for the season doesn’t mean we think any less of him, being ranked among Pique, Puyol, Chiellini, Hummels, Thiago Silva and Chiellini as one of the best Centre Back in the world heading into 2012.
