| The (sports) Gospel According to Mark: Farnsworth keeps cool |
|
Everybody has a bad day. Patrick Roy once let in over six goals in a game. Greg Maddux has gotten blasted on several occasions. Michael Jordan has missed multiple buzzer-beating shots. Heck, even Jesus once chased money-changers away from the temple with a whip. The fact of the matter, however, is...

| The Torch Passed To CHINA |

The Athens summer games will be having its closing ceremony tonight; to end what some are calling the greatest Olympic summer games ever and that might sound right to some people. But if that’s the case why did the media tell people who might be going not to go at all, and when they said that we...

| The (sports) Gospel According to Mark: Red, White, and Gold |
The Olympics are nearing their end, and as always, the US stands atop the medal leader board with a double digit lead. Americans expect dominance in sports, dominance like what Michael Phelps has done in swimming and what the women’s softball team has done to the rest of the softball world.

| The Top 10 Most Controversial Olympic Moments |
|
With the Olympics half over, it`s fun to reflect on the history of the modern games, and how long it has left to live before the Olympic movement is tragically crushed beneath the weight of its own success when a member of the German Full Contact Tiddlywinks team goes on a roid-rampage through...

| The Jester's Quart: Please, Cancel Prime Time! |
There are some positions in sports for which I harbor a great deal of respect. Goaltender. Middle linebacker. Director of marketing for the Expos.

What does the bronze medal mean to you?
Top three? Runner-up to the runner-up? Close, but no cigar?

Not only a loser, but a bigger loser than the loser the winner defeated to become the winner.

| Who likes heavy medals? |

As the Olympic Games dawn upon us, let`s take a moment to reflect in the spirit of the spectacle: the sacred drive for productive achievement, the beauty and grace of the human form, the endless pushing of the limits of human capability, and the thrill and honour of competition.

| The (sports) Gospel According to Mark: Tyson dies in train wreck |

Iron Mike Tyson was knocked off Friday in the fourth round by a 9-1 underdog who occasionally cries before his fights. I never thought, even after the ear biting incident, the assaults, the battery, the rape conviction, the debt and the ridiculous face tattoo (it’s hard to tell kids not to play...
