Kirun's comments in this thread are probably the stupidest things ever posted on this forum. I had a very very minor back problem that I was able to sort over time with some appropriate exercises and it still ate at me for months. On top of that, while 99% fixed, it continues to loom over my...

It seems the premiere league does not hold a candle to the swiss super league when it comes to own goal:

Ferrer on teenager Zverev after their match: "He's an unbelievable player, impressive, serves good, he's intelligent. A good future for him." Scoreline: 6-0 6-1. For Ferrer that is.

I don't see any scenario where posting publicly about the guy has a positive impact on the legal procedures that are bound to happen. I would edit this stuff out pronto if I were you.

At times it feels like his real name is Aleksandr Dugin...

With James returning to Cleveland, I realize I have a problem: What team is there to hate now? The Heat was easy to hate, but not so much anymore as the super trio's cocky dream of innumerable rings has been shattered. And hating on Cleveland feels like hating a battered wife... Sport is fiction...

Because she is well proportionate, we tend to forget that Sharapova is 6'2" (1m88 - without stilettos!) and because of her on-court demeanor, we tend to forget she can be pretty funny! On tennis news, The ATP 500 in Hambourg saw three notable things: Brown won a couple matches in a row (he...

I does not bode well because exclusive programming is just the latest item in a long list of Xbox One specific features that got sent to the trash can. It also was a domain with a big potential for growth, so something for the long term. So getting rid of it is a bit like saying 'we don't...

Araysar: Is Petropavlovsk a common name? I thought it was a city in Kamchatka.

A guy saying something on social media is not news, it's a source. News is what a journalist delivers after he or she gathers, compares and analyses sources.

I was surprised to see Marc Gasol and Joaquim Noah in these teams, but the younger of the Gasols moved to the US as a teenager and Noah is actually born in New York.

Oh. And Zidane and Forlan never were?

Something bugs me in this silly comparison image... what is a MOM? Please tell me it's not a Moment of Magic.

The Thunder can still find a way to win the good old fashioned way: train hard, get better, get smarter.

nm.

I tried to contribute, but I had to use a local version of craiglist and for my sanity (and my bank account) I am going to assume all the pics I saw were fakes.

A bit of tennis history happened today as Hewitt beat Karlovic in the final of Newport's Hall of Fame Championship: That's the australian's 30th title (and the second this year!), but, more importantly, at 68 years and 10 months between the two, that was the oldest tour level final since 1977...

A full moon picture looking like another full moon picture is hardly surprising. The two pictures are indeed different though.

It's Platini that pushed for that. The idea is to have the players among the crowd and to allow the winners to make a guard of honor for the losers (customary in rugby).

There are four awards: best keeper, best player, best scorer and best youngster. Scorer and youngster could not be awarded in person, so I am sure the vote for keeper and player were slanted toward players that took part in the final. Giving Neuer an award is fine even if the likes of Ochoa or...

You could say that missing Tiago Silva was what hurt Brazil defensively against Germany but.... it was not much better with him there.

Aren't all these transfers mostly unconsequential considering Popovich stays in San Antonio?

The five episode format of the last season of Treme forced it into the miniserie ghetto that has no writing nor directing award. On top of that, not even an acting nomination for Clarke Peters, be it in lead or supporting. A shame.

Just finishedThe Republic of Thieves(Gentlemen Bastards 3). Like the previous two: ENtertaining read, great dialogues, interesting contexts (one half dirty elections and one half theater company), but somewhat underwhelming plot and resolutions.

In the immortal words of Bill Shankly: 'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.'

Well... if the penalty is not well placed and the keeper chose the correct side it's legitimate to hope for a save. That was the case for two of them. One was just wide enough and the other just hit hard enough OR the keeper did not dive far enough and did not have a firm enough hand.

Wimbledon.com posted the transcript of the english press conference with Federer. I suspect the french newspaper used a bit of it and a bit of the french part of the event (that has no transcript).

This article is full of fail. I searched for 'steamer' in it and found nothing.

It will be a strange match tomorrow for the brazilian fans. If Argentina wins, the arch enemy might win the World Cup! If Argentina loses though, Brazil risks getting curb-stomped by the arch enemy!

I wondered something the other day: when Nadal, Djokovic and a little later Murray burst into the scene, they knew that if they wanted to get anything out of this tennis career their were starting they had to become better than Federer and the swiss knew that to stay at the top he would need to...

Not much, if any, but my answer was more about the first half of your statement; about diving becoming a problem 15 years ago. It might be though that it became more of a problem in some leagues 15ish years ago because of an influx of players coming from leagues were diving was rampant and/or...
