Daniella Hantuchova., Maria Sharapova hit out

January 26, 2008

THE snarling, spiteful side of women’s tennis went on show yesterday as Daniela Hantuchova and Maria Sharapova let fly at their semi-final opponents.

Hantuchova took a furious swipe at Ana Ivanovic’s squeaky runners after the Serb fought back to win 0-6 6-3 6-4. And Sharapova became incensed at the medical time-out called by Jelena Jankovic during their semi-final, offering some advice as Jankovic received courtside treatment. “She should get on with tennis and stop whingeing,” Sharapova said as she waited at the courtside. Already well in control of a match she went on to win 6-3 6-1, Sharapova wasn’t going to let any interruptions stand in the way of her march to the final. As the match finished, the women exchanged lukewarm formalities at the net and the incident was never mentioned. But it was different for Slovakian Hantuchova after she lost a topsy-turvy match.

Seattle’s Alexander Is Running in Place

January 4, 2008

KIRKLAND, Wash., Jan. 3 — The first time was a shock. Seattle Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander lay flat on the turf of his home stadium earlier this season, a failed running play having knocked him three yards for a loss and, as he began to pick himself up, there came from around him a strange sound.

Was it booing?

He looked up at the stands, unsure if he heard right. Read more

Sox’s future takes another hit

January 4, 2008

Swisher deal improves club for now, but not enough to justify its cost

Is Jerry Reinsdorf selling the White Sox after 2008? Is Ken Williams planning to do his job only one more year and then move on? Or do those two guys peer into their crystal balls and see enough pitching lined up behind Mark Buehrle, Javier Vazquez and Bobby Jenks to put the Sox in the same league as the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians?

Bruins apply finishing touch

January 4, 2008

There was a moment, about nine minutes before game’s end, when it occurred to the sellout crowd at Maples Pavilion that Stanford could beat UCLA. It came after a flurry of missed follow shots, and finally a short left-side runner from Mitch Johnson, and the crowd erupted with the kind of noise a UCLA-Stanford game should always have. And then it died - swiftly, surely and irrevocably. The Cardinal, a prime-time team for much of the last 15 years, found out that there’s prime, and then there’s prime. Read more

January 4, 2008

Bill Parcells cleaned the Miami Dolphins’ house Thursday morning, firing the first-year head coach Cam Cameron and 16 of his assistants, leaving only two members from the coaching staff that led the Dolphins to a 1-15 season.

AP Selects Belichick As Coach of Year

January 4, 2008

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Patriots owner Robert Kraft needed just one season with Bill Belichick to know how good a coach he was. Even Kraft couldn’t have expected that, more than a decade later, his brilliant employee would accomplish what no NFL coach has ever done _ lead a team to a 16-0 record. “In this age of parity to go 16-0 when people are after our players, our administrative staff, our coaches,” Kraft said, “to be able to achieve this feat in an age of parity when everyone’s playing with the same budget is just a tremendous tribute to his management style.” Read more

Jayhawks’ D Stuns Hokies in Orange Bowl

January 4, 2008

MIAMI — The surprising Kansas Jayhawks achieved the unexpected again Thursday _ they won the Orange Bowl with defense. While their high-powered offense was stymied most of the night, the Jayhawks came up with three interceptions and beat Virginia Tech 24-21 in the Orange Bowl to cap one of the finest seasons in school history. The turnovers led to 17 Kansas points, including Aqib Talib’s 60-yard return for the game’s first score. He was chosen the game’s most valuable player. “Everybody talks about Virginia Tech’s defense,” said safety Justin Thornton, who also had an interception. “We came out to show we can play defense at Kansas, too.” Read more
