I’VE never seen a bunch of guys lose by three goals in a football match yet still have so much fun.
Then again, I’ve never been to a Queen City United Christmas party.
Last Tuesday, I attended Queen City United’s annual bash—and saw the (annual?) bashing Team B got from Team A.

THERE’S a new place to hang out for sports buff in town.
However, since I’m not in the business of endorsing places, I’d leave it unnamed.
But it’s suffice to say that it’s such a nice place that I’m willing to exchange my old hangout for it.
It’s got all the things sports buffs need in a bar—large, flat TVs, free-flowing beer, and a designated smoking area.

NUTS! That probably sums up the current state of RP sports.
Just as when I thought we can’t possibly sink any lower, we just did!

THIERRY Henry and Costin Lazar are both international footballers but with an ocean-wide difference separating them.

WHAT would you do if the guy who sits beside you in the jeepney—for no apparent reason—suddenly frowns, rolls his eyes, murmurs a few phrases in English, smiles, then snaps his fingers.
Would you: 1) call the Psych ward; 2) get off ASAP; 3) clear some space; 4) leave him alone?
I NO LONGER remember who that guy was, but his was the first mixed-martial arts fight I ever saw.
He also instantly joined my list of fighters “who get embarrassed by talking too much.”
ANDRE Agassi shocked the tennis world with his recent book “Open,” (what else would a tennis player name his book?) when he said that he used crystal meth when he was still an active player.
He even admitted that he lied to the ATP tour, that he accidentally drank a soda laced with crystal meth, to get away with a positive drug test.
