Brittney Griner Punches Jordan Barncastle

"There's no place for that in sports," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey told reporters after the game. "I will deal with Brittney Griner, and it won't be discussed in the media. You saw the game, leave it at that. Not [Texas Tech coach] Kristy Curry, not me, not any coach or any player will ever be proud of what took place on that floor tonight."

Scottish bobsled Cooke and her teammate are prepping for a run in the women's two-man bobsled, when her spandex...



Now, however, it seems a moment of spandex failure will be what Cooke is known for best.

Billiards

They say that every sport pretends to a literature, but people don't believe it of any other sport but their own. I guess that's absolute truth:-) As to me I love billiards as well as I love any kind of sport and activities that bring me pleasure and fun. Sports is human life in microcosm. A billiard, a type of shot in cue sports that includes in general pool, carom billiards, snooker, etc. the term "billiards" means sometimes used to refer to any of the following more specifically: Carom billiard, also known as French billiard, English billiard, "quadrillion" billiard, Dynamical billiards, Nicolas billiards.



French billiards or three ball billiards game, three-cushion billiards is played before touching the last ball so that billiards is considered correct, which is why three-cushion billiards is often called billiards; but this isn’t the case with Esnuka which follows the normal rules without any additional requirements.
rench billiards, English billiards, "quadrillion" billiard, Dynamical billiards, Nicolas billiards.

You can also get bif fun playing such billiards games as 8-ball, 9-ball, straight pool, pyramid, carom and snooker right online. Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.

Yacht and Boat Sport

Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi from Argentina, forward of Spanish "Barcelona" is obtained as the best club football player of year under the UEFA version. As the press-service of UEFA informs, Messi has played a key role in a "Barcelona"'s victory of Champions League.

The Argentinean also has won a prize to the best forward. The best sniper of the past Champions League Messi has scored his the most important of the nine goals into gate of "Manchester United" in final. As a result "Barcelona" has won the third Cup in a season as earlier has won the championship and the Cup of Spain. On the account of 22 years old Messi are 38 goals in all tournaments where Catalans participated in the last season.

Tour de France 2009

Alberto Contador of Spain was crowned Tour de France champion for the second time after the completion of the 21st and final stage. Outwardly the second success to Kontadoru has come easily enough. It is necessary to notice that he wasn't the main star before start. Lance Armstrong the king of Tour, its sevenfold winner has returned. Lance as a result became the third. Present Tour de France became a disappointment for many favorites. Such sportsmen like Carlos Sastre, Cadel Evans, and Andreas Kloden have appeared noncompetitive this year. But Englishman Bradley Wiggins from Garmin-Slipstream became the main discovery of present Tour. As the result he took the forth place. There were only Schleck brothers from Luxembourg who could make competition to Contador.
