NHL All-Star Break: I Bet You’re Thrilled

By oddJoe ⋅ January 26, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I bet you didn’t even know it was the All-Star break for the National Hockey League, did you? No, because you (probably) live in the U.S. of America and you don’t give two hoots about no ice skating rink hockey. But if that’s the case, I bet you are jonesing for some sports action because […]

Maria Sharapova Is Hot

By oddJoe ⋅ January 25, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Yes, I know that tennis star Maris Sharapova is an attractive young woman, but I’m saying she was hot today. It was 93 degrees in Melbourne for the Australian Open finals. That’s mighty warm even if you aren’t running side to side on a tennis court smashing a little ball over a net.

Aussie tennis fans are going to get an eyeful this weekend when Maria Sharapova faces Ana Ivanovic in the final match of the Australian Open. They might just be the two sexiest women in tennis and maybe in all of sports. I’m really not sure who to root for on Saturday, sexy tennis babe on […]

Venus Williams was knocked out of the Australian Open today by fourth-seed Ana Ivanovic in straight sets 7-6, 6-4, setting up a semi-finals match against Daniela […]
