Serena Williams defeats Agnieszka Radwanska to Win 5th Wimbledon Title


Serena cruised through the first set 6-1 and then lost an error-filled second set, 5-7 and rebounded to win the third 6-2 to win the 2012 Wimbledon final. It was no surprise given Serena's dominance in the game when she isn't out due to some weird injury (stepping on broken glass?!?). Radwanska apparently had an "upper respiratory illness" which is really bad luck given her fierce opponent and career-making opportunity.

Amazing Spider-Man Exclusive 4 Minute Video and Movie Trailer



The new Amazing Spider-Man movie opens this week and it's the second Marvel blockbuster hit after The Avengers. The series reboot, which starts off the with origin story again, looks to be darker than the first trilogy which is probably a good thing. Will Spider-Man be able to top The Avengers or the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises this summer?

Here is an 4 minute sneak peak of the movie:

EuroCup 2012: Spain Demolishes Italy...


After Italy powered their way in great form to the EuroCup finals, they seemed flat footed in the final. Italy made England and Germany look like bad teams which isn't easy to do. The first half was not bad, Spain knocked in two goals but it was far from over. Then, Italy tried to change it up and used up all their subs. Unfortunately for them, one of the subs got hurt, leaving them a man down for most of the second half.

My Wimbledon Experience: What To Expect & How to Get Tickets




So I was lucky enough to get tickets for the first two days at Wimbledon this year and after reading up on various forums and travel sites, I've created a guide on what to expect for those who are thinking of visiting the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

Wimbledon: How Far Can Milos Raonic Go?


For all you Canadian tennis fans, I'm sure you have been keeping an eye out on Milos and his rise in the rankings. The winner of two tournaments this year and with victories over #4 seed Murray and #9 Tipsarevic, Milos has some great things ahead of him.

Raonic also faced Federer three times already this year, each going to a third decisive set. With Wimbledon just around the corner, there's a good chance that he bests his performance of last year where he reached the second round.

French Open: Nadal Wins Over Djokovic


Nadal won a record seven French Open titles today by defeating Djokovic in 4 sets. This is not too surprising given Nadal's historical reign on clay courts and his two clay court titles earlier this year, both over Djokovic in the finals. His lefty spin that kicks high to the backhand, super speed and consistency make him virtually impossible to beat at Rolland Garros. Novak did beat Rafa in the last three Grand Slam finals so I'm sure Nadal wasn't going to take it too easily.

Undercover NBA Pro Plays Pick-Up Basketball As "Uncle Drew"

This is what happens when an NBA pro (Kyrie Irving - Rookie of the Year) goes to a public park and pretends to be an old man named "Uncle Drew". This PepsiMAX viral video is pretty funny although you'd expect a bit more crazy highlights given the scenario.

Kyrie pretends to be shooting a documentary on another bballer, "Kevin" at the court, when Kyrie himself decides to join in.

Madrid Open: Federer vs. Berdych...and WILL SMITH


Did you see Will Smith everywhere during the Madrid Finals? Will Smith was in the crowd and they showed him like every 5 minutes. He was even on stage at the trophy ceremony and presented Roger a framed Men-In-Black suit. Not sure if this is some mega-promotion with the movie studio (Will is on a promo tour for MIB 3) and tennis but you would think that you were watching a Will Smith movie during the finals. Mr. Smith presented the frame in what seemed to be pretty good Spanish. Nice effort for the locals on his behalf, I must say.

Looper (Movie)

Here is an interesting trailer for a new movie starring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt that I stumbled upon. Gordon-Levitt's character is a time-travelling assassin called a "looper". It seems like some organization is sending unwanted people back in time to be taken care of by "loopers" but things get messy when Gordon-Levitt's character realizes the target is his future self.


Looper hits theatres September 28, 2012.
