And compared to something like baseball the physical dynamics are not as complex. Tennis is,…
Every so often a new sport gains traction. It usually starts as a casual hobby activity, but then people being people find a way to make it competitive, and before you know it sponsors and organisations get involved and BAM, you’ve got a professional sport. The challenge these emerging sports…
I’ve been puttering around with Big Ant’s Rugby 25 for a little…
I love playing cricket on the go. I think it’s because of…
I’m Canadian. I love hockey. My love for the Ottawa Senators has been unwavering for decades now, despite the fact – let’s be real here – that they’re maybe not always the best team around. Hey, we’re getting there! As a hockey fan, I can tell you nothing gets other…
