No tennis for now – I’m going to the O2 tennis later this week and might share a few thoughts. For now, some great reading.
NFL
The brain damage story just gets scarier
Colin, GQs person of the year.
Also – could the best player in the league be a punter?
RUGBY
Georgia – stuck in rugby’s equivalent of the middle income trap.
FOOTBALL
Iceland – how did a country of only 330,000 people get to the World Cup?
Why are kickoffs so predictable and poorly executed?
Why sacking the manager is pointless (again).
Plus – an unknown English manager working miracles in Sweden
CRICKET
Ellyse Perry is no ordinary cricketer
Afghanistan – Test status, but now what?
Plus the inside story of the Ashes pomnishambles.
BASEBALL
How the Astros tanked their way to the top.
And the strange tale of how a girl posed as a disgusting man to get ahead in baseball journalism.
Cheers
