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 [...]

Shoes
Tuesday, 31 January, 2012
Or maybe it should be titled “sneakers” instead of “shoes”. Whatever happened to the whole basketball sneakers era? I was certainly a part of the whole wave back in the early-to-mid 90′s. I remember that basketball shoes – Air Jordans in particular – were all the rage, and every new release of an Air Jordan [...]
“Senna” The Film
Wednesday, 28 September, 2011
I was fortunate to be given an invite to view the F1 documentary film “Senna”, as part of the closing event for the SIFF. I had very much wanted to catch this film, and I came away being totally mesmerised by it. Definitely the most engaging documentary film I’ve ever watched. You could call it [...]
Ryan Lochte = World’s Best
Saturday, 30 July, 2011
I’d never thought I’d ever say this, but Ryan Lochte is the new Michael Phelps. Without doubt the best male swimmer in the world right now. London 2012 may be a different story, because I don’t believe that Phelps will take this lying down…but for now, we can safely say that Lochte sits on top [...]
Great Tour
Monday, 25 July, 2011
So Cadel Evans ended up winning what was probably one of the best Tours de France in recent history. I didn’t exactly watch all the stages, but I definitely watched more stages this year than in all other years combined. It was intriguing because the yellow jersey changed hands twice in the last three days. [...]
About Singapore’s Return To The Malaysia Cup
Monday, 18 July, 2011
There has been a lot of excitement lately about the fact that we’re returning to the Malaysia Cup. It’s almost like saying the Beatles are alive and well, and will be touring the world once again. But will it ever be the same again for us? No. Firstly, lest we all get ahead of ourselves, [...]
Julys And The Tour De France
Wednesday, 13 July, 2011
July is a notoriously quiet sports month. No football. No NFL. No NBA. No college football or basketball. No tennis Grand Slam. But there’s one thing – and it’s a big thing – which I’ve begun to follow faithfully every July. The Tour de France. For me, Julys every year are now synonymous with the [...]
Silverstone
Monday, 11 July, 2011
Few thoughts on Silverstone: You’ve got to give credit where it is due – Silverstone was an exciting race. I guess the wet weather at the start definitely helped. Looks like F1 is the only sport that desperately needs rain to make it exciting. About the Webber-Vettel incident… I guess a new phrase has entered [...]
Out-Nadaled
Wednesday, 6 July, 2011
It is slightly strange seeing Nadal getting worked the way Djokovic worked him at Wimbledon on Sunday night. I didn’t watch the entire match, but it seemed like Djokovic played stronger, more aggressive, had greater stamina, and made less mistakes. He slowly wore down the will of his opponent, and pounded his opponent into eventual [...]
Interesting Sports Weekend
Monday, 4 July, 2011
Interesting sports weekend. Even though I said this is supposed to be a lull period in sports, it turned out to be a rather exciting sports weekend. Firstly, loudmouth David Haye got dominated by Wladimir Klitschko. He can certainly talk the talk, but it is obvious that he has got no game to back it [...]
