Andy Roddick, the only player with no class on the ATP tour, has a history of barking at the umpires and [...]

Motley Athletics : The US Open — ATP
August 25, 2010 – 8:32 pm
Lets stop overdosing on pre-season football and baseball wildcard races, and talk some tennis. Roger Federer is number two in the world. Not many people know that. A couple weeks ago he was number three. My friends, it saddens me to say that Roger Federer’s era of utter domination, opponent humiliating, overdramatic victory back flops [...]
Motley Athletics : Brett Favre
August 18, 2010 – 8:14 pm
He’s back, ladies and gentlemen. What seems like now the tenth year in a row, Brett Favre has once again opted out of retirement. And hey, I’ll be the first one to admit it, despite all the criticism, I’m happy he’s coming back. As a football fan, I have never followed an NFL year without [...]

It’s never too soon to start talking about football. This past week the Tennessee Titans agreed to restructure Chris Johnson’s contract, raising his salary of $550,000 for the 2010 season to $2.5 million. Johnson exploded last year breaking the 2,000 yard rushing barrier while collecting 500 yards through the air. Step aside Adrian Peterson, Chris [...]

For those of you Motley guys into baseball, the Major League Baseball All-Star game has been around since 1933, delivering some of the most exciting games over the years.
