https://www.49ers.com/video/san-francisco-49ers-top-plays-vs-tampa-bay-buccaneers-in-week-14 Even the most diehard San Francisco 49ers fan, would be pinching themselves right now. A tremendous run of form has seen them notch 5 consecutive victories going into their match with the NFC South leading Tampa. Top notch offense is the best defense. SF QB Brody Purdy outshone TB12 despite having just…

UFC 282:BLACHOWICZ VS ANKALAEV

UFC 282:BLACHOWICZ VS ANKALAEV

Let’s face it, we love MMA and other combat sports because the likelihood of having a draw result is as slim as England winning a soccer world cup(other than the fact they have more talent lmao). However when they actually do happen, SCRUTINY is(rightly so)on the judges. Jan Blanchowicz of Poland is a former Light Heavyweight champion whilst Mago Ankalaev is ranked 4th in the division looking to…

THE GOOD, BAD AND UGLY OF THE WORLD CUP SO FAR

THE GOOD, BAD AND UGLY OF THE WORLD CUP SO FAR

This winter world cup has both disappointed and impressed on so many levels. I questioned the wisdom of awarding the next best spectacle in world sports to a country with a population roughly the size of Chicago. It has been well run despite concerns about the alcohol ban and strict Muslim dress code(all hail Miss Croatia).Although smuggling alcohol into a stadium of a foreign country that…

This is the GOLDEN GENERATION OF CANADIAN SPORTS we are witnessing this year. Canada’s young upstart Davis Cup team is the best of the lot, no disrespect to the Canadian Men’s Soccer team at all. They have two top 20 players in Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger Aliassime who played my play of the week this week. Facing Australia in this year’s final, Canada had taken a 1-0 lead in Malaga, Spain…

NFL:VIKINGS VS PATRIOTS

https://www.vikings.com/video/full-highlights-vikings-33-patriots-26 Bill Belichick’s record on Thursday Night Football is astounding before we even look at Thanksgiving. A win percentage of 75% meant his New England Patriots came into their TNF game with Minnesota firm favorites. The Vikings no pushovers, their regular season record 8-2 is the joint second best in the league. The purple team…

Now this is thinking on your feet. You got to love basketball. It’s a sport that tests your mind as well as fitness. Trae Young , the 2018 Rookie of the year and Atlanta Hawks main guy did the business against the Toronto Raptors Saturday Night. He had a game high 33 points and 12 assists including this assist to John Collins for my play of the week. Pretty poor reaction to the loose ball from…

WORLD CUP:QATAR VS ECUADOR

WORLD CUP:QATAR VS ECUADOR

After all the politics, the soccer finally takes center stage. Let’s face it Qatar are not going to win the world cup. But like any other fan I expect a strong showing from the hosts. Judging by this performance they are not going to get out of this group barring a miracle. I AM A GUY WHO SEES LIGHT when others see darkness so let’s see the positives shall we. The second half showing was much…

TOP FIVE WORLD CUP SONGS OF ALL TIME

TOP FIVE WORLD CUP SONGS OF ALL TIME

When a country wins the right to host the FIFA World Cup it is a moment of pride and achievement. Yes, the dirty bidding process somewhat takes away the gloss, but no doubt hosting this event ranks up there. The host nation provides the Stadia and the hotel but the official WORLD CUP SONG is still weirdly the responsibility of FIFA. Whilst this should really be the preserve of the host, FIFA has…

ATP FINALS:DJOKOVIC VS TSITSIPAS

ATP FINALS:DJOKOVIC VS TSITSIPAS

No one divides opinion in tennis like Novak but no doubting the man’s ability. Finals appearances in each of the last four tournaments he entered, including against Tsitsipas in Israel, shows he is ending the season well above expectations. Tsitsipas’s third rank isn’t by any means a fluke. He has had strong showings in the minor tournaments although the only blemish is his performance in the…

PREMIER LEAGUE:FULHAM VS MANCHESTER UNITED

What was every Man United’s genie wish at the start of season 2022/2023? I bet it was that Cristiano Ronaldo gets back to the CR7 of old banging them in whenever he likes wantonly. Judging from their performances without him, the Red Devils are doing just fine. It doesn’t bode well for the all time great that United simply now have better options, Martial is a better number 9 now and Garnacho…

PLAY OF THE WEEK

Israel Adesanya has been a fighting champion, no question. His bout with Alex Pereira is his sixth defense but all things have to come to an end. It’s cliche’ to say this but it aptly applies to Izzy. He is why? Alex has a similar kickboxing background to him. It is much easier for a kickboxer to beat an old fashioned grappler than it is for him to beat a fellow kickboxer. Kickboxers like Izzy…

NBA:BUCKS VS SPURS

A happy Giannis spells doom for the rest of the NBA. The Greek colossus has reached the same level of form that led Milwaukee to the world title two seasons ago. The rest of the roster has caught the winning mentality , shown by the best defensive stats in the League. The 10-1 Bucks faced San Antonio who are 5-7 who mostly focus on up and coming talent rather than go full throttle for the…

JUNIOR TENNIS PLAYER BEATING DISSECTED

JUNIOR TENNIS PLAYER BEATING DISSECTED

A video has circulated online recently showing a junior player’s coach/father assaulting his student/daughter which sent the tennis world into irate mode. Not only did former players speak out and claim the practice is common, they actually said it has become routine in junior tennis. The incident happened in Serbia(which is kind of ironic as it has emerged as a tennis powerhouse in recent…

YET MORE KYRIE IRVING CONTROVERSY

Kyrie Irving is a very interesting guy. Interesting but talented. That should be the focus of everyone right there, his talent on the court. It is a pity in the last two years other stuff have taken the spotlight. I previously defended him on his vaccination stance( and still will) and I am glad that storm has been ridden. Now here comes another storm. This time racism. Look, there is no race…
