McLaren's Problems Are Finally Catching Up To Them
At the end of last years formula one season you could be forgiven for thinking that McLaren had gotten off a little light, after being caught spying on Ferrari. However, now that the '08 season is in full swing, we are starting to see the side effects of the hefty fine and developmental restrictions that McLaren received.
So far Mclaren have only managed one win to Ferraris three so far this year and have at times, looked much slower then their bitter rivals. Infact, BMW have often qualified a driver higher then one of the McLaren boys. This lack of pace is almost certainly the result of the punishments received at the hands of the FIA last year.
The question is, can McLaren get back on track and give Lewis Hamilton a chance at the world title?
I think not. I can only see Ferrari getting better as the season goes on and so long as Kimi doesn't relax too much (as he is prone to do) I think this years title is already sewn up.

went fishing. This year, the top O-line prospect is a Phish. After pondering the question yesterday, it looks like we have our answer. Jake Long has signed to a five year, $57.5 million contract with $30 million guaranteed. As of Saturday, Jakezilla will be a Dolphin.
The man who captained England to World Cup victory in 2003 will today be announced as their new team manager. 
will be the new England Manager. Despite Brian Ashton's good efforts in the World Cup, failure to bring that progress to the Six Nations has cost him dear.
I have to say The Masters was actually pretty entertaining this year. I was a bit dubious about it after last years dull-asco (that didn't work did it? Ah well...) but it turned out to be a pretty good event.

I think it's time to set the record straight with regards to 
QB dilema. And by that I mean, 
is the one event that brings the entire world together in peaceful competition. For two weeks every four years the whole world seems a brighter place. People smile more, they laugh more and they get the feeling that, despite all the earths troubles, things will be ok.
Nobody's perfect I guess. And whilst Lewis Hamilton comes pretty damn close to the perfect race driver sometimes, he does have a flaw. That flaw is trying to do too much when the chips are down.
Yesterday the team boses for 
agreed to an extension of the race calender to include two more races - bringing the season up to 20.
When he was eighteen Manuel de Los Santos was a promising baseball player growing up in Cuba, with dreams of playing in the U.S. That was, until he was involved in an awful car accident that cost him his left leg. Most people would crumble under an awful loss like that, but not Manuel.
. And when I say 'took up' I mean, 'started kicking ass at'.
In 2001 Marion Jones won the gold medal in the 100m sprint final. After she admitted to THG abuse, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) voided all her performances in September 2000.

Britain has always had a good pedigree in

Phew, the start of February through to mid March can be a bit of a slog, what with only the Six nations to get us through, but Formula-1 returned to our screens this weekend and was action packed to say the least.

- Have you got your fantasy team sorted yet? Need a little help from a trusted source? Ron Shandler has been aiding fantasy managers with his in depth statistical analysis since 1986. If you’re determined to win your league this year, then this is the one for you.
- This game comes out on March 10th and apparently offers “Unparalleled bat-to-bat contact” via the “Swing Stick 2.0”. Hmm… I don’t know about that, but with two weeks to go until opening day, this should help scratch your itch nicely.
– What is it about a nice clean crisp baseball card that always reminds me of summers back in the day? Am I the only one? Ehh… probably. But anyway, if collecting is your thing, then this has to be the perfect way to start the ’08 season!
- The 2008 Take Me Out to the Ballpark Calendar highlights thirteen of the most beloved ballparks past and present from the United States and Canada. I was always pretty sure there were twelve months in the year, so I’m not sure why there are thirteen ballparks… hmm…
– This is pretty cool really. It’s the regulation size and weight of a baseball but when you throw it, it measures the speed (in MPH) and displays it on a small LCD screen. It measures up to 120mph, which should be plenty, considering none of your buddies will reach anywhere near that out in the yard.
– If we’re talking equipment, there’s no point doing things by halves. Get yourself an official game ball the easy way, rather then hanging around in the stands with a mitt and a prayer.
– And while we’re at it, hook yourself up with a decent bat (and maybe some 
too). Whether it be at a ball or at a friend, is there anything more satisfying then swinging a brand new bat?

– This is *the* book when it comes to baseball analysis. Reportedly read by every GM in the game before every season, it provides enough analysis to feed the frenzy of the most ardent armchair fan.
