Looks like a carry to me, but if it was Iverson they'd let it slide
The Daily Mail has a nice assortment of photoshopped Thierry Henry specials sent in by jokesters around the internet - and this one seemed to me to make the most sense because of Henry's past professed love for the Chicago Bulls. Click to continue reading...

I once read about a British sports journalist's amazement at the access that American sportswriters had. The British writer was visiting Chicago and asked to tag along with the Sun Times reporter who covered the Bulls. First, he went to a Bulls practice, and after the practice was over, the Chicago reporter ambled up to Scottie Pipen and Phil Jackson and asked a few questions.

When we last left Jose Mourinho's tongue, it was being stuck out at the crowd after an injury time winner against Udinese. Here it makes another appearance, albeit just a cameo, after Inter's second goal against Livorno on Sunday, accompanied by some kind of Michael Jackson type hand motion.

This Saturday and Sunday Barca, Real Madrid, and Valencia all have matches against undermatched opponents. The thing is: I'm not expecting blowouts. No, I'm thinking we have some real issues on our hands.Â

Barca gets Osasuna, Real Madrid gets Getafe, and Valencia gets Malaga. I know these seem like easy wins but I'm not sure of anything anymore.

First off, I must admit that I hate it in sports when a person is titled Best Ever. Is Michael Jordan the best basketball player ever? If I were to say no then people would be all over me. They would name his championship titles, MVP trophies, signature dunks, and Gatorade commercials as evidence of this.

I know, I know, it sounds silly. Â Anton Ferdinand puts in an own goal and gives Manchester United a draw (which allows them to stay atop the EPL rankings) and that somehow exhibits Man U's power? Â It does. Â Let me show you.

Remember, I'm writing from an American Sports perspective.

The Brazilian legend is trying everything he can to get Rio the 2016 Olympics.
How greedy can they be down there right? The 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics?
Pele also had a slip o' the tongue and said 'Michael Jackson' when he meant to say 'Michael Jordan'.
Ouch. Click to continue reading...

Edson Arantes do Nascimento, mas conocido como Pelé es el embajador de Río de Janeiro en su candidatura para quedarse con la sede de los juegos Olímpicos de 2016.
Esto no es noticia y es de publico conocimiento, lo que es particular y muy llamativo son las declaraciones del segundo mejor jugador de la historia cuando le consultaron por la ausencia de Michael Jordan para defender la posición de la ciudad que lo vio brillar deportivamente.

Plenty of controversy following Sunday's Manchester derby and Michael Owen's late late winner for Man Utd. I don't want to get into the question of whether added time works differently at Old Trafford (and other Big Four stadiums) than it does elsewhere. We could debate whether the minimum four minutes of added time, plus Bellamy's goal [. Click to continue reading...

With Barcelona, Valencia, Real Madrid and Bilbao all atop the standings it appears that someone needs to step up and separate themselves from the pack. Unfortunately, it's too early to tell who that will be.

I spent an entire previous column lamenting how the major acquisitions for Real Madrid might derail their entire club:Â Well, right now they're making me look good.

If you've watched ESPN today, you have seen much hoopla regarding Michael Jordan's induction into the basketball Hall of Fame. Hoopla - get it? Basketball hoops? OK, if you've seen his interview you may remember that he attributes his success to playing each game like it's his last. That's the part that doesn't make sense.

Michael Jordan en su libro "Mi Filosofía del Triunfo" dice:

Cuando empezamos a ganar campeonatos, existía un acuerdo entre los doce jugadores. Todos sabíamos cuales eran los roles a desempeñar. Conocíamos nuestras responsabilidades y capacidades.

Nos tomó cierto tiempo comprenderlo.

I am at a loss for the written word today. Cristiano Ronaldo is going to Real Madrid. The deal is for a record transfer amount of $131 million. It will be completed by the end of the month. Kaka who?

Frankly, I don't care. Honestly. I'm not a Real Madrid fan; nothing personal, just not my club. I like to watch them play, I watch El Classico without fail.
