The Expendables
Aug 28th
Trawling the world of American sports is basically a full time (technically non paying) job. What with the NFL in preseason and contract holdout mode, MLB starting to get into battles for playoff spots, the NBA and NHL, although out of season, still providing interesting story lines regarding contracts and the standard off field controversys, the PGA Fed-Ex Cup is kicking off and New York is hosting the US Tennis Open starting Monday.
No Remorse!

Well its lovely to be back. Back from where you may ask (or not, but this is my column)? Back from being generally lazy over the past few weeks and not really wanting to do anything other than drink and play rugby which I think is fair enough as its summer time here and that’s how…

Its Sport, But Not As We Knew It
Jul 9th
Sport; its a simple thing when it all comes down to it. A team/individual goes out in their chosen field with the goal of defeating their opponent. Whether it be tennis, soccer, rock-paper-scissors, jelly wrestling or shin kicking, its a concept we all understand.
How to Talk Like a Canadian
Jul 7th
In my travels I have come across some rather interesting speeches, sayings, catch phrases, slurs etc. Ranging from the always funny ‘Engrish’ that runs throughout the Asian world (‘you warra nu zeawan pawk chob?’ translates to ‘would you like a New Zealand pork chop?’), to the always confusing Cockney Rhyming slang (‘I’m heading up the…
They Call Me Mr. Clutch

So you’re walking down the street with your hand on your johnson cracking a smile, in the immortal words of Hitman, and then from no where the Devil himself pops up! BOOM! “So you think you could get it away with it?” he says cackling away. You’re very confused, having no idea what…

There is no ‘I’ in team
Jun 9th
But there is definitely a big ME!! This ladies and gentlemen, is the phrase that should adorn the front offices of all major US sports governing bodies. A country where they consider their own baseball league be fit to use the title ‘World Series’ as its finals format, a country where a 18 year old…
