Sorry, Cam. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve never been so disappointed as watching the Miami Dolphins struggle to win a game this year. I really didn’t think they’d win even one. And personally, I was rooting for them to lose them all! But the guy I …

Christiano Ronaldo, the most important player in Manchester United has been transferred to Real Madrid in this season 2009-2010. At the beginning of his career in Manchester United, I think he still tried to tune in with the speed and rhythm of United’s playing style. He joined Manchester United …
