Altidore just scored a goal for the US against Guadeloupe*. In fairness to him it was a good goal but he immediately pointed to his name on the back of his jersey. I just hope the Fox commentators don't get carried away now that Altidore has finally done something useful for the US team. *...

Hamilton messed up again this weekend. First he crashed into Webber then he nearly took out his own teammate. Maybe he was distracted by Rihanna(?) and his other celebrity friends in the garage. Edited by: Matra1

SPOILER in this post! Both John McEnroe and Brad Gilbert have called Monfils the "best pure athlete in tennis". Jim Courier went one better calling him the best pure athlete in tennis history. We are told that Monfils could play basketball. (Why so many Americans think basketball requires...

Hockey failed in Atlanta twice - the Flames were there before moving to Calgary. i guess bringing those black players to Atlanta didn't work. Winnipeg is hockey crazy. Their team went to Phoenix, who I believe still own the Jets name. The Coyotes have gone bankrupt and been bailed out by...

So the finals don't start until June 1. Kids will be out of school for the summer holidays before the season ends. Bettman needs to sort this out...but he won't.

He had a disaster of a race. Not only did he knock two other (innocent) drivers out of the race but had he not caused the first safety car his teammate Jenson Button would've won the race.

It's the extra padding and baggier clothing that's causing this. The NHL should've done something about it in the 90s but now everyone thinks it's normal. Watch old clips from the 70s to see the difference. Wider and longer ice surface - the way it is in Europe - would also be better, as...

Sergio Busquets racism charge dismissed "due to a lack of strong and convincing evidence". http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/may/16/sergio-busquets-cleared-champions-league-finalEdited by: Matra1

This weekend he defeated a radically improved Andy Murray in the semi-final then dispatched Nadal in straight sets (again!) in the final. Counting the Davis Cup (which Serbia won last year) Novak has now won 39 matches in a row. Not since McEnroe went 42-0 in 1984 has there been a winning streak...

As a Liverpool fan I grew up a Man United hater. Lately though I've started to find Man City even more annoying. It's not just race it's particular guys like Balotelli who acts like an NFL player. Man City with a sudden influx of Arab oil money are looking like the bling-bling nouveau riche team...

I must admit I'm surprised at the rate of decline in Roger Federer's game. After he won #16 at the Aussie Open last year, I thought for sure he could win 2-3 more. He looked solid to start the year in 2010, but he's not made it to another GS final since then. It is surprising. Physically he...

I just watched Djokovic defeat #5 seed Robin Soderling. Another straight set win ending with a 6-0 2nd set. The guy is playing out of his skull. Next up Andy Murray on Saturday. I believe something called espn3.com and The Tennis Channel are covering it in the U.S

Djokovic is playing in Rome this week. The red clay on the courts there are particularly slow so it will be very difficult for Novak to win this tournament. (He's 34-0 for the year). Nevertheless he just defeated Wawrinka in straight sets and will play Swede Robin Soderling in the QF. If he...

That was the lamest 3rd period ever by a team facing elimination. The Predators mailed it in. They only had something like 6 shots on net, with at most 1 forcing Luongo to make a a decent save. Good riddance to the most boring team of the entire playoffs.

I just came here to start a thread on Novak the Great. I just watched a replay of his straight set victory against Nadal in Madrid. It was one thing for him to beat Nadal at Indian Wells, California and Key Biscayne, Florida back to back but now he's beaten Nadal on red clay in Spain. He's also...

I guess the French football federation realizes it has a problem. France has been plunged into a fresh race crisis after claims that football officials tried to limit black and Arab players on youth training schemes to make the French team more white. The French football federation has...

Bruins must win tonight. Thinking about what happened to the Caps last year and now the Bruins it shows how pointless much of the regular season is. All you get is "home advantage" in the play-offs.

All these leftist ideas begin in American sport then spread across the Atlantic. It's as if all the leading people in the West are just cultural lemmings following whatever is done in New York City. BTW blacks are a much smaller percentage of the UK population than in the US so it's hardly...

Rick Reilly:We got a green jacket being hung on the bony shoulders of 140-pound Charl Schwartzel Yeah, if you're not a steroid monkey you're not a real athlete. Even his first name is unfinished. Reilly thinks Akrikaner names are funny but probably thinks "LaShawn" is perfectly normal...

On Saturday and Sunday, the gallery supported Tiger as if it were his "pre-scandal"Â￾ days My relatives, who don't normally watch golf and are not exactly racially-minded, were disgusted by the wild cheering for Tiger. I noticed that ALL the other main competitors - the Aussies, McIlroy...

They just said on CNN he was getting 2 million viewers a day. Both Howard Kurtz and Anderson Cooper said that's an incredible number especially for a bad time slot. I can't help but be suspicious that this comes just over a month after Bill Kristol and a few other influential neocon publicly...

Emmanuel Adebayor, who scored twice in Real's 4-0 victory against Tottenham, is claiming the chant from Spurs fans against him is racist. The chant? "Your dad washes elephants, your mother's a whore." LinkEdited by: Matra1

Just a quick heads-up. Federer against Nadal at the Sony Ericsson at 7pm ET on ESPN2. The winner plays Djokovic in the final.Edited by: Matra1

The media has a New Black Hope - and he's also Hispanic. Two for one! http://www.nj.com/soccer-news/index.ssf/2011/03/juan_agudelo_has_quickly_becom.html

Let's see how the rich lefties in Marin deal with the kind of diversity non-rich whites have to put up with.
