It took the England cricket selectors much too long, in my opinion, to give Andrew Strauss the national captaincy (at least as far as Test cricket is concerned) on a permanent basis. When Michael Vaughan stepped down, Strauss performed pretty well in a tricky series against Pakistan, but was …

Ever since 2001 I’ve had an intense hatred for the New England Patriots. I’m an Oakland Raiders fan, born and raised, so I’m still terribly upset over Tom Brady’s fumble in the 2001 playoffs that cost the Raiders the game. Out of all the Patriots, none make me more …
