The day football died

Make no mistake, football didn't die because it's too corupt, because there are too many cheats playing the game. It died because nobody in authority is prepared to do anything about it. Henry would not have been able to get away with such a blatant breach of the rules if he'd been playing 'American' football - there are multiple officials on the field, and even when they fail to spot an obvious infringement, video replays are used. Players are also punnished retrospectively after the completion of games. So that's it for me - until the world footballing authorities decide to act, I'm sticking to watching the NFL.

Haye, Haye, USA

Congratulations to David Haye for bringing some long-needed excitement back to the heavyweight division. The Americans are going to love him - the only bad news is that he's stuck with a mandatory defense against John Ruiz, probably the most boring fighter on the planet.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder?

Apologies for the lack of activity recently. Believe it or not, I forgot my password. Anyway, I'll try and make up for lost time...
