Ronaldinho Makes Sterling Milan Debut
By Alex
Despite AC Milan’s 2-1 loss to newly promoted Bologna, the squad played with creative authority - something they lacked all of last season. The main force was the splendid duo of Pirlo and Ronaldinho. The latter being a sharp spark plug all game long. While Milan’s attack remains a work in progress its midfield [...]

Finally…
By Beaker
…The Montreal Alouettes make a defensive stand. Not once, not twice but three times they stopped the BC Lions at the one-yard line in a thrilling 30-25 victory.
Why three times? What else is new with the Als? Penalties. Twice they were called back because of an offside. I can’t help but wonder if this [...]

Zenit Knock Out Manchester United
By Alex
FC Zenit defeated Manchester United 2-1 this week to capture Russia’s first Super Cup title.
No one should be surprised even if it was at the expense of the Red Devils. During the last UEFA campaign, it was obvious that Zenit was a world class team and now they have a chance to prove their [...]

We Asked…
Not so long ago if Manny, Greg and Joe were going to make L.A. a winner.
Given their recent streak I guess the answer is “Bye-Bye Dodgers.”
On the other side, the Red Sox are sticking a few nails in the Yankees coffin.

Rogge Takes Issue With Rogue Bolt
By Alex
I have no idea why Jacques Rogge would single out Usain Bolt for unsportsmanship. It seems to me track and field has a history of poor sportsmanship. Carl Lewis wasn’t exactly Mr. Sportsman as I recall it.
Track and field athletes in general lack a certain politeness. Ever notice how they never look at the [...]
