I realize we may be a couple of days late on this, but let’s just pretend we were saving it to talk about the Champions League. For those of you that didn’t see on YouTube on Sunday night or weren’t 15 year olds/girls dressed as Native Americans in southern California, the Coachella music festival ended with a bang thanks to Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Co. Warren G, Kurupt, 50 Cent, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar all made appearances, but the biggest cameo was by none other than…Tupac Shakur!? Yeah, guys, we know, he’s dead, but they made a cool hologram of him, which wasn’t really a hologram. This got me thinking…what holograms would make a splash in this year’s semi-finals of the UCL?

It’s finally here. Our massive, over-the-top, big budget finale to the January Transfer Window Blockbuster series. We’ve overpaid for every Hollywood star on the planet to help up realize this masterpiece and it’s all funded by Roman Abramovich. Hell, even porn star Kim Kardashian is gonna be there.

Enjoy our 3D, motion capture of a center back, in the most cliche way possible; a drawn out transfer saga from Earth to Pandora, er, Bolton to London. Complete with blue cats.

Over the last few months, it had become clear that the [...]

I wish I was a certified FIFA agent like Carrie Baird*. I want to know the scoop before it everyone else. I want to be an insider. I want to be the guy that tells the world that the MLS is about to waste money on signing David Beckham. Sadly, though, I’m just a young, [...]

Friday’s Afternoon Roundup includes a kit makeover for Barcelona, Patrice Evra being French, and the weekend’s tantalizing EPL fixture list.

A conglomeration of the most interesting and often bizarre figures from the month including profits, losses, and some algebraic nonsense.

The wide world of Tennis has given TK another reason, other than Maria Sharapova,  to love the only sport that changes its surface for every major competition.  Just imagine if footy was played on grass in Germany ’06, Dirt in South Africa this year, the 37th Parallel in Korea/Japan back in 2002, sand for Brazil [...]

With a little over three weeks left before the transfer window closes and very little movement in the grossly inflated market, it’s time to assess what the teams in England have done, what they’re thinking of doing, why it’s probably dumb (or smart in a few cases), and why they should listen to what I [...]
