Davis Cup head coach Bogdan Obradovic gave interview for 'MONDO' explaining 'they have nothing to regret for': 'We want to win Davis Cup, in that sense it doesn't matter if we lose in first round or in the Final. Russian Davis Cup Team head coach said if we play with our best players we can be best team in the world, it's surely a compliment. I hope we used out our bad luck on this occasion and that it will passs us by in the future.Asked if Novak Djokovic gave his maximum against Davydenko, Obradovic commentated: 'Just seeing Novak going out there is an act of bravery. Unfortunately he used up his 'fuel' he had in him at that moment, certainly the most important thing is he do not expose his health to jeopardy because of one match for National Team. I can only congratulate him on showed s
In what appears to be a recurring theme in Cleveland and elsewhere, Browns general manager Phil Savage is once again covering team head coach Romeo Crennel’s ample backside. The Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Tony Grossi is reporting that at a news conference on Saturday, Savage gave a vote of confidence to Crennel. Savage opened his remarks with, “I’ll emphasize again today, there is no Romeo Crennel watch in this building. I’ve said it 10 times, he’s the right man for the job. There’s nobody else out there that could’ve won more than eight to 12 games over the last two years with the roster we had and circumstances and situations that we’ve been through. Motorcycle accidents, injuries, all sorts of things.”
And as you would expect, Savage blamed the media for the perception that Crennel’s job is on the line, telling the reporters at the news conference, “You’re in the business of creating controv
I like the word “sucker.” Aside from the obvious connotations involved with using a word with “suck” in it, I like the way it sounds: the harsh “ck” and snakelike “s” sounds go well with a sarcastic and mocking tone (which, incidentally, is the tone I use most often). I especially like using this word when it relates to other people, and similarly feel extra bad about myself when it is used on me. Unfortunately, though, I can come up with no other word that better describes the way I feel after having bought (!) this game nearly a year after it came out, and after having read countless articles about how awesomely boring it is. And guess what? It’s even worse than I had read, which makes me not only a sucker, but the worst kind of sucker: the kind who cynically exhudes a smarter-than-though air while lambasting the suckiness of a product, only to inevitably give in and realize how weak-willed and stupid he in fact is.

Jake WhiteBorn 3 November 1963 in Johannesburg. He is a South African rugby union coach. Springbok's head coach since 2004.Main achievements as Springbok's head coach:2004: First Springbok team to win the Tri-Nations since 1998 Rose from 6th to 4th on IRB world rankings 2005: Biggest score ever achieved by a Springbok side (134-3 against Uruguay) Rose from 4th to 2nd in IRB world rankings (now 3rd) 2006: A poor year for the Springboks...We won't talk about that.
The Bucks fired their Head Coach Terry Stotts. The Bucks were a little late to fire him now which is a bad descision, unless the coach they want is available now. They should have kept Stotts for the rest of this season, fire him as soon as their season ends and get the new coach adjusted and also the players adjusted to how they do things.Tonight the Suns and the Mavericks play in Dallas at 9 pm Eastern time on ESPN. What a great game this will be! I think the Mavs will come on top because they will be motivated by an end to their winning streak and want to send a message that they can do it all over again.
It's official. Cam Cameron is the new Miami Dolphins head coach. Cameron signed a four-year contract today and will follow in Nick Saban's footsteps, after he bolted for Alabama a couple of weeks ago.So my wish came through. I've been giggling constantly for the past 3 hours and I probably won't be stopping anytime soon. Look at me right there. That's the look of someone who just pissed pure excellence.Either way, it's Cameron first head coaching job at the pro-level, so he should be very motivated to turn things around in South Florida after a very disappointing 6-10 season that was plagued by injuries, sub-par performances and awful play-calling on offense.Miami averaged 16.3 points a game in '06, their lowest total since the franchise's second year of existence back in 1967. Cameron has weapons that he can use now to make a pretty potent offense but questions do remain.Will Daunte Culpepper get healthy and return to form? If he doesn't, will it be Joey Harrington or Cleo Le
