There are only two players with three Super Bowl MVPs: Joe Montana, a four-time Super Bowl champion with the San Francisco 49ers; and Tom Brady, a four-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots.  There’s a lot riding on Super Bowl LI. The Atlanta Falcons are looking to win their first ever championship, something they failed to do during their previous (and first) visit to the big game 19 years ago. Matt Ryan and his high flying...

Any draw leaves teams and fans with conflicted feelings. Liverpool are still on a long stretch without a win, but at least they didn’t lose, drawing 1-1 with Chelsea at Anfield despite an early and controversial goal by David Luiz, as Antonio Conte’s men seem on the guaranteed way towards winning the Premier League title. Chelsea took the lead in the 24th minute with a thunderous, cheeky free kick by their Brazilian centre back. Liverpool’s wall...

With his 18th Grand Slam title, Roger Federer proved once more he’s the greatest ever to play the game of Tennis. It was fitting that to end his long drought in the Australian Open and in major tournaments in general, he had to beat Rafael Nadal in five grueling, epic sets. The one thorn in Federer’s claim to the monicker “Best Tennis player of All-Time” was his record against Nadal. Still is to some. But in the world of sports fans, it’s always...

What’s better for the NFL: The Atlanta Falcons winning their first ever Super Bowl or the New England Patriots winning their fifth during the Bill Belichick – Tom Brady era? The answer depends on your definition of NFL. Because if it’s Roger Goodell, the answer might not be what you expect. I don’t think Goodell harbors anything against the Patriots specifically. It’s always easy to forget he works for the owners, and represents the majority interest....
Midway through the 2016-2017 NBA season, when everyone is gushing over the All-Star selections, there are teams trying to figure out what went wrong.

We’ll try to see what went wrong in comparison to the lofty expectations. Chicago Bulls The recent set of troubles...

In the eptimore retro final, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer will play in the final of the 2017 Australian Open, making a surprising final chapter (probably) to their immense rivalry, as the clash for the 9th time in a Grand Slam final. The two stars, both surprising almost everyone by making it this far while both Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray got knocked out quite early, will play for the 12th time in a Grand Slam match. Nadal has the massive...

In a scene usually exclusive to sports films, basketball player Akil Mitchell suffered a horrific injury, as his eye came out of its socket in a game between the New Zealand Breakers against the Cairns Taipans. Mitchell was taken to a hospital in Auckland, and according to the Breakers general manager, there was some damage to the eye but it seems that the injury isn’t as severe as initially feared, and vision should be restored. For now, Mitchell...

The New England Patriots will make a record 9th Super Bowl appearance in SB LI. For the Atlanta Falcons, it’ll only be their second time in the NFL’s modern championship game, hoping to get out of the club that welcomes teams without a Super Bowl ring. Buffalo Bills The Bills are rightfully considered as the biggest Super Bowl losers, for making it four straight years to the championship game and losing each time. Their most famous loss was the...

Losing streaks, occasional wins, developing players, lots of frustration. In between all of this, the Brooklyn Nets season took another hit when Sean Marks revealed that Jeremy Lin is going to miss at least 3 more weeks as his left hamstring injury resurfaced, striking for the third time this season. Lin, with the NBA reaching its halfway mark, has played in only 12 games. The Nets, the 9-34 Brooklyn Nets, the worst team in the NBA, have played...
As expected, the memes a day after Tom Brady and the New England Patriots made mincemeat of the Pittsburgh Steelers, had more to do with Alarm Gate and the Patriots cheating than anything else. That’s how it works. The Patriots have a reputation for cheating, and also this weird karma that any big win or game will have something out of the ordinary happen in its proximity; in this case, the Steelers hotel fire alarm going off the day before the...
