It remains baffling for Azzuri fans how Marcello Lippi – The One – consistently refuses an Antonio Cassano call up opting instead for Cassano’s striking partner Giampaolo Pazzini who has seven goals thus far this season.
The Sampdoria striker is having a great campaign this year and is a large reason why they sit in [...]

Danilo Gallinari is going into an important sophomore season. The Rooster’s (his nickname, if you didn’t know) got to show New York that he’s got game enough to make things bearable for them this season.

-That didn’t take long. I was wondering how long before a sports writer would point out Roger Federer’s French Open victory (and 14th Grand Slam title) was over Robin Soderling and NOT Rafael Nadal.

NHL: I don’t know much about, well, a lot of things but I do know double standards and relativism when I see it. I still can’t figure out how Daniel Carcillo was suspended for clocking a Penguins player while Calgary’s Mike Cammalleri was spared for the exact same act. Yeah, yeah I heard Colin “Colie” [...]
