Appreciating Leinster & Brad Thorn’s Championships Hunger

Brad Thorn isn’t the best player in the world, nor is he the best lock in the world. But the 37 year old All Black added another trophy to his loaded cabinet; He’s now the first and only player to play for a Rugby World Cup, Tri-Nation, Super Rugby and Heineken Cup champion.

Best Photos From the 2012 Champions League Final

It wasn’t the best of finals, but it was certainly exciting. Chelsea, somehow, with their weakest Champions League side in memory, pulled an improbably victory in Munich, after a penalty shootout. Bayern Munich were left with nothing on the night and the seasons but tears and disappointment.

Philadelphia 76ers, More Than Meets the Eye

LeBron James Can’t Stop the Sinking Miami Heat Ship

LeBron James against 5 Indiana players. Five on One, Five on Two. Call it whatever you like, but the bottom line is this – The Indiana Pacers look like a good, strong team. The Miami Heat look like LeBron James, a little bit of Dwyane Wade and a group of random guys not up for the challenge.
