The NFL season has just concluded, and Tebowmania was one of the most unbelievable things that we’d ever seen in the NFL. I followed it all the way, and it was an amazing journey that captured the imagination of America. Tim Tebow, one of the greatest college football players ever, takes over a struggling 1-4 [...]

Super Bowl Halftime Show: Black Eyed Peas
Tuesday, 8 February, 2011
Well, I guess bad publicity is still better than no publicity. While I could not fault the choice of Black Eyed Peas as the entertainers for the halftime show, I (together with probably millions around the world) just couldn’t help but cringe when Fergie tried to do “Sweet Child O Mine” a la Axl Rose. [...]
Super Bowl XLV: Packers Vs Steelers
Monday, 7 February, 2011
One of the better Super Bowl matchups in recent history. Should be a good one. I’ll go with the Packers, 27-21. … UPDATE: Cool, Packers just won a tight one. I was wrong about the score, but I was right about the 6-point margin. =)
Comparisons

If your American friends have problems understanding the situation Liverpool FC is in right now, just tell them “refer to Dallas Cowboys”. If your British friends have problems understanding the situation the Dallas Cowboys are in right now, just tell them “refer to Liverpool FC”.
Er, Cowboys?
Wednesday, 22 September, 2010
Would now be a good time to say that the Cowboys are kinda like Liverpool in the way they always flatter to deceive? Loaded with talent, proud heritage, huge fanbase, but always underachieving. Miles Austin is by far my favourite receiver though.
Interesting Sports Weekend
Monday, 13 September, 2010
Let’s see, it started off with Man Utd yielding two goals (and thus, the lead) to Everton in stoppage time, which was a classic moment, cos you seldom see this brain-fade kind of stuff happening to them. It’s usually their opponents who are at the receiving end of this kind of thing, so it was [...]
Two Recent Sports Comparisons

1) Rafael Nadal ~ Allen Iverson You could say their playing styles are quite similar, in that they tend to fling their bodies around and put tremendous strain on their physical conditioning. You knew that their careers (or at least their ability to play at an elite level) were always going to be short-lived, simply [...]
Go Cowboys!
Sunday, 20 December, 2009
Woo hoo! Cowboys win their biggest game of the season, against the unbeaten Saints at New Orleans! Who would’ve thought? Sometimes I think the Cowboys are just like Liverpool – immensely popular team which hasn’t won a championship in ages, has enough star power to sustain the media’s interest, is able to rise to the [...]
Colts-Patriots
Tuesday, 17 November, 2009
Let’s talk a bit about the biggest play in the biggest NFL game over the last weekend. It was a 4th and 2 situation, 2:08 remaining in the game, and Patriots leading by 6 points with the ball at their own 28 yard line. Conventional wisdom says you punt it as far as you can, [...]
The Favre Legend Continues
Tuesday, 29 September, 2009
Say what you like about the guy, but Brett Favre is still one of the best QBs ever to play the game. This play against the 49ers is easily one of the top plays of the NFL season thus far. A game-winning TD pass on the very last play of the game…it doesn’t get any [...]
