By Sill ⋅ August 3, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Just like the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill back in 89 the Anaheim Ducks are furious at the Oil of Edmonton. The General Manager, Kevin Lowe, of the Oilers made a desperation attempt to acquire Dustin Penner. Penner was offered a five year $22.5 Million offer as a restricted free agent. […]

Wimbeldon is officially complete. Roger Federer was able to take the match against the crafty left-hander Raphael Nadal… also known as the Federer Krytonite. Nadal has beaten Federer 5 out of the last 13 matches… But today Federer was the better man, barely.
Federer was pushed to […]

Crashes and a Sprint to the finish highlighted day 1 of the tour.
With about 20 Kilometers to go Robbie McEwen crashed. Typically he’d be out… but his team waited for him and pulled him back to the sprinters group. From there he was able to sprint to the finish to take his […]

Wimbledon Update

Men’s Draw - Big names are still in it. Federer, Nadal - 1,2 are still in the hunt for the crown….. Federer (who I’d put the money on) plays Gasquet in the semi’s. Nadal plays someone else and we’ll see a rematch of last year’s final… Meaning […]

The 94th annual Tour De France starts THIS saturday with the race prologue. The prologue will be an 8km race around London (which will be sure to make a mess) reaching average speeds that normal people only dream of.
The Tour as always should have it’s share of joys, jubilations and drugs. […]

By Sill ⋅ May 24, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

I don’t know how I missed this but just last week Roger Federer FINALLY won. And by WON I mean, won the tournament. He’d gone 4 whole tournaments without winning a tournament.

Well, this weekend in Las Vegas, NV the biggest fight in years is going to take place. The reason it’s such a huge fight one word (well actually three words but one name) De la Hoya. He’s such a huge draw in boxing and he’s already said it may be his last fight. […]

Last night Buffalo was able to squeak out a win against the Rangers. The Rangers outplayed the Sabres for most of the game but as good teams do the Sabres were able to score […]
