La esperanza ahora es roja 2008-02-28 21:33:53 Aunque el 2007 fue un año dominado por el 'Verde', con Atlético Nacional coronándose campeón de los dos torneos de la temporada, el 2008 se está tornando de color rojo y las miradas están bajando de Antioquia hacia Bogotá.Treinta y dos años han pasado desde la última vez que por las calles capitalinas se vieron ríos 'Albirojos' siguiendo a un grupo de hombres que, con la sexta estrella, llegaron a la gloria y a la eterna memoria de los hinchas 'Cardenales', quienes en esa época no sabían que esa iba a ser la última celebración en mucho tiempo y, para algunos, fue la última gran alegría de su vida con el fútbol.Francisco Hormazábal, de la mano de sólo tres grandes figuras como Carlos Pandolfi, Carlos Sarnari y Alfonso Cañón, fue el último ser capaz de llevar a Santa Fe Read more:ahora
The Tiger era is just beginning... 2008-02-26 22:47:09 The PGA Tour season is beginning and we have just witnessed the first big-time event of the season, The World Golf Championships, composed of four important events that in prestige come second only to the majors. started off with a bang last weekend with the match play tournament in Arizona. So now that the season has gotten underway (other tournaments have also been played) and Tiger Woods is scarier than ever, what can we expect? Will Tiger ever slow down? is he already the greatest? Probably.Back in 1999 and 2000, everyone who watched golf saw something never before seen. A man who just tore up the competition with a 15 stroke wins at the US Open, 17 wins in two years, and four consecutive majors. He also set or tied 27 records during 2000 and then slowed down. His prime had ended,
The expected Champion's league trend 2008-02-21 22:51:43 With the UEFA champion's league beginning to heat up, there is a trend starting to appear that has shown up in the last couple of seasons. All the team's that have been on top throughout the year are losing. Is it really a trend or just an unbelievable coincidence?Now that the group stage is gone, we are left with what I like to call the real Champion's Leagues. Don't get me wrong, I love to see Bulgarian and Romanian teams try to beat the English or Spanish powerhouses, but it's just not a fair competition and these small Cinderella's should not be competing at this level. So as this round of 16 starts, I encounter once again what I have been seeing for the last few years; the teams leading their countries' leagues are not getting the job done in the cup, and this makes me think maybe
Slam dunk contest 2008 2008-02-21 20:13:59 Watch the best moments of saturday's NBA dunk contest in New Orleans.
Moving out west 2008-02-19 21:01:30 With stars like Shaq and J-Kidd moving back to the western conference, where does that leave the east teams and their hopes for a championship? It might end up benefitting them The last few weeks in the NBA have been like that game "The Oregon Trail" where you had to go across the U.S and establish camp as far west as possible. Two of the biggest stars in the game, Jason Kidd and Shaquille O'neal, have packed their bags and are on the trail westbound. The move has left the eastern conference wondering why, but the real question is what will this do to the championship race? Will the west retain the crown or will the less deep east end up on top?The Mavericks and Suns have been in a similar limbo during the past few years. They have been strong offensive forces that haven't been able t Read more:Moving
Brazilian tragedy, the final chapter? 2008-02-18 12:52:03 Last wednesday, soccer fans witnessed another nightmare in the roller coaster career of Ronaldo. Once again his knee gave up on him and he fell to the ground agonizing in pain like we saw when he played for the other Milan team and was at the peak of his career. The questions left to answer now are: Will Ronaldo play again? and is his legacy strong enough to consider him one of the greatest ever?This brazilian's career began with a boom in the mid to late 90's, when he appeared as a funny looking 18 year old playing for PSV Eindhoven. His talent was something never before seen. He was the fastest, the strongest, the most accurate and the most charismatic. As the first year of his european life progressed, his immense ability just kept growing, taking him to Barcelona, where he had the Read more:Brazilian
BIttersweet NBA all star weekend 2008-02-15 00:05:41 NBA all-star weekend is upon us again and with it the anticipation and skepticism most hardcore basketball fans have about the event. Why skepticism? because even though basketball can be the best sport to showcase an all star event with, it can also become a spectacle with so much glamour and fun that the actual sport takes a backseat. Sometimes slam dunks, low level celebrity games and the absolute lack of defense can make the whole weekend a big snoozer, but when we fans are lucky, all stars align and we have the greatest show of the year. I believe this year we're going to get lucky.If we look at this season's roster, there is something different from past years, everyone who is going to play actually deserves to. First let's look at the western conference squad. 9 of the 12 playe Read more:NBA
Global Nascar, an interesting proposition 2008-02-12 23:36:00 The official start of the 2008 Nascar season is just around the corner. This means new faces, new teams, and even a new name (the Sprint Cup). But it seems like the routine has changed. Throughout the years, new faces have come and gone, and Nascar has grown into a national spectacle with drivers from all around who have upped the level of competition like this series has never seen. However, this is a known fact. Nascar is no longer a southern hobby, it is a national sport. The news now is, its gone globald... a new term in the vocabulary of good old Nascar.The trend began last year with the arrival of F1 superstar and former Cart and Indy 500 champion Juan Pablo Montoya. His incursion into the world of Nascar began a little less spectacular than some expected, he finished 20th in t Read more:Global

All these "friendlies" are killing soccer 2008-02-06 22:35:03 It has come time again for soccer leagues around the world to vanish for a week and give way to the non-spectacle that is international friendlies. At this time of the year, pretty much every important league on Earth is in activity (except the MLS). South Americans and Mexicans have played one or two games of their 2008 campaign, and European leagues are beginning the second leg of their 2007-2008 seasons. We have got some great fights at the top of The English Premier league between Arsenal and Manchester United, and Spanish and Italian leaders have lost ground to their worthy foes. And just when things are getting good, the Champion's League second round is heating up, and soccer fans are at the brink of total satisfaction, we get an unwanted break in the action forced upon us by FI
F1 is back to what it once was 2008-02-05 23:20:45 With less than two months remaining before the Australian Grand Prix, the Formula One world has begun warming up its motors for what is likely to be a season at least as exciting as the 2007 campaign. How is two-time world champion Fernando Alonso going to do now that he's back to where he claimed all his glory? Is Lewis Hamilton going to overcome his rookie mistakes to take what he gave up to Raikkonen last year? Or is the Finish world champion going to gain more respect after a title that very little people were talking about during the off-season? All these an many more questions will begin to be answered on March 14. But something else is back in F1 that will hopefully bring in new fans... good old-fashioned rivalries.One of the most remembered times in formula one had guys like A
What the Super Bowl left us 2008-02-04 23:35:21 Fans from 30 different football cities and from all corners around the world sat in front of their television sets sunday to see what would later become the most watched Super
Bowl in history (97.5 million viewers), and the great majority of them were not Giants or Patriots fans. So what did this great spectacle leave us now that it's gone? Is the majority happy with the underdog's win and the great New England fall? Or did the people want to see Brady and his crew lift the Lombardi trophy at the end of the day?The truth is it's very hard to say. The Patriots are not one of those good teams some love and most hate, they are a great team that has drawn the admiration of many football fans who love to watch the game the way it is meant to be played. So who do you root for? It has been Read more:Super Bowl

Comparing Tom Brady 2008-01-29 23:50:27 This is the year of the Patriots, but more specifically, it is the year of Tom Brady
. Unbelievable accuracy, impeccable wardrobe and an incredible ability to win have characterized the patriots' quarterback since his sudden appearance on a September afternoon in 2001 when New England's hopes were shattered along win Drew Bledsoe. Now, seven years later, Brady has become the latest american icon. His cool, calm demeanor and his ability to find ways to win opens the door to comparisons with long-time heroes like Montana or Bradshaw, both Superbowl legends. However, that would be too easy. Comparing stats, MVPs, and championships is just a routine that leaves us with numbers. To me it's not what you do, it's when you do it. That's why I believe Tom Brady can only be compared to
