One week ago, Wladimir Klitschko fought a heavy weight title fight sanctioned by three boxing federations against Eddie Chambers. It ended with a knock out 5 seconds from the final bell in round twelve. The only reason why it took so long was the ability of Chambers to take hard hits without falling down. Klitschko [...]
I mentioned Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco before when talking about personal branding. The most recent step he took actually were multiple steps: He takes part in US TV show “Dancing with the Stars”. Sounds a bit weird to imagine a football player dancing, but he did quite well in the first show. Really. However, [...]
Sunday saw the big soccer game in Northern England: Manchester United vs. Liverpool FC (final result: 2-1). One of the biggest rivalries in the English Premier League. The “Red Devils” vs. “The Reds”. However not everybody in the stadium was dressed in red: A lot of Manchester United (“ManU”) supporters are currently wearing a green [...]
Soon the new MLB season will start, so let’s warm up with some baseball action from a place where the bat is already swung: In Cuba, the playoffs have already started three weeks ago. And since the first round, a video spreads virally on the web that probably some of you already have seen by [...]
Michael Schumacher, the most successful driver in Formula 1 history, just made his comeback, aged 41. Whatever his reasons may have been (I touched the topic of comebacks in sports before when talking about Evgeni Plushenko here and here), his performance was solid, finishing in 6th place. He is now racing for the “Mercedes GP” [...]

One item caught my attention: A poster with the picture of a former soccer player and just two words written [...]
A chilly day in Madrid, Spain, November 2005. I was lucky I scored a ticket to one of the biggest matches in soccer: Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona. Two of the best teams in the world meeting in this classic at the Santiago Bernabeu in the heart of the Spanish capital. 15 minutes into the [...]
1983, 1986 and 1994. Three years, three very different kinds of goals that actually weren’t scored. Want to know what I mean by “goals not scored”? Well, read on: All three examples are taken from the German Bundesliga and by chance all three of them involved Bayern Munich and happened at the same stadium, the [...]
The Vancouver games are over. As probably also many of you did, I was watching a lot of the events on TV. But did we watch the same events?
