Almost Daily Sports Blog: Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter
http://almostdailysports.blogspot.com/2010/05/rubin-hurricane-carter.html
Thursday, 6 May 2010. Rubin Carter, the man they call the Hurricane, turns 73 today. Carter has the unusual distinction of being best known for two, if not three things that he himself did not do. Denzel Washington played him in a film, Bob Dylan wrote a song about him, and perhaps most famously (given that it is the reason for those two artistic acts) he was twice convicted of murders, only for those convictions to be later quashed. You can read all about his legal escapades at his Wikipedia page. I'm G...

Almost Daily Sports Blog: My Sporting Memories
http://almostdailysports.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-sporting-memories.html
Thursday, 19 November 2009. After the highs and depressing lows of the encounter in Paris and after listening to Gav's great from the heart pod cast i got thinking about my own love and passion for sport. And instead of ranting on about the details of last night's game I've decided to share with you a few of the moments in sport that have moved me and made me jump for joy or given me a lump in my throat. Moment 1: Robbie Keane Vs Germany - 5th June 2002 World Cup. This was the season when the GAA opened ...

Almost Daily Sports Blog: More Glum Than Glee-ful After Irish Jibes
http://almostdailysports.blogspot.com/2011/11/more-glum-than-glee-ful-after-irish.html
Thursday, 3 November 2011. More Glum Than Glee-ful After Irish Jibes. We may be well into the 21st Century, but this week Ireland is being served an hour of television which appears to have come from the Dark Ages. Glee. Is generally regarded as enlightened, hip and forward-thinking, but I’ve found the way it portrays my native land in its latest episode to be either negligent insensitivity or wilful stereotyping. The latest example of Oirishness, entitled Pot O’Gold. Aired on Sky One. Tried and failed t...

Almost Daily Sports Blog: Lions 3rd Test Team
http://almostdailysports.blogspot.com/2009/07/lions-3rd-test-team.html
Thursday, 2 July 2009. Lions 3rd Test Team. Posted by Darragh Cotter. After a prolonged absence due to lack of an internet. Connection I'm back to give my opinion on all things rugby, specifically. The Lions team for the 3rd Test this weekend. With this match being something of a dead rubber and the injuries mounting up McGeechan. Has gone with an interesting selection. There are four changes in the pack. Sheridan and Vickery. Come in for the injured Jenkins and Jones respectively. In the centre. Luk...

Almost Daily Sports Blog: Joe Frazier RIP
http://almostdailysports.blogspot.com/2011/11/joe-frazier-rip.html
Tuesday, 8 November 2011. With today’s untimely death of Smokin’ Joe Frazier, sport itself has lost a true warrior, and one of the most fearsome competitors of all-time. The 67-year-old has passed away after succumbing to liver cancer overnight. They first clashed in New York in 1971. With both men undefeated World Champions at this point, it was the ‘Fight of the Century’ and Frazier would inflict upon Ali the most notable loss of his life, knocking him down in the 15thround. Round, if given the chance,...

Almost Daily Sports Blog: Irish Boxing Set For Middleweight Feast
http://almostdailysports.blogspot.com/2009/10/irish-boxing-set-for-middleweight-feast.html
Tuesday, 13 October 2009. Irish Boxing Set For Middleweight Feast. As part of work today, I attended a press conference in Limerick where Andy Lee announced his next fight. For the record, it will take place on November 14th in the University Sports Arena. And Lee’s opponent will be French and European Union Middleweight Champion Affif Belghecham. 13 October 2009 at 23:32. Perhaps it will go better than the Dunne fight? Wouldnt mind seeing another boxer we like and want to see do well win! Yes I think so.

Saturday, 19 March 2011. Inspiration Is All Around. In life, and in sport, perspective is everything. The majority of posts on this site, sporadic as they are, are of the here and now; of the game/match/fight/story of that day. Current affairs are, after all, the most pressing kind.

Almost Daily Sports Blog: Funny Sports Injuries, Warts And All
http://almostdailysports.blogspot.com/2009/05/funny-sports-injuries-warts-and-all.html
Saturday, 30 May 2009. Funny Sports Injuries, Warts And All. So I suppose it’s normal to presume that there are cricketing people who have an issue with Akhtar. That may have something to do with the unnecessary statement released this week by the PCB. They announced that Akhtar is out of the aforementioned Twenty20 World Cup because he ‘was suffering from Genital Viral Warts and Electrofulgration.’ Surely announcing that Akhtar had a skin ailment would have sufficed? Revenge, I guess. Former Braves pitc...
