Documentary Review: 'The Untold Story of Lennox Lewis'
As a kid, I was obsessed with boxing. Getting home from school, for a time, meant watching old fight footage on ESPN which used to fill afternoon programming with half hour documentaries on classic fights like the 'Thrilla in Manilla' or the classics of Rocky Marciano on grainy black and white film. Yes, I was also a bandwagon Mike Tyson fan. I was 12 years old when I saw Tyson and I was hooked on his persona and power immediately.

The Emotional Attachment to Sports
Roller coasters are one of the easiest metaphors to describe anything that can rapidly change at a blink of an eye. Life, love, and in this case, sports, are all ideas that are compared to those man-made thrill rides we see at amusement parks. They all have the same premise: taking you on a small, minute long journey that can conjure up all kinds of emotions. You can start out extremely nervous or excited, waiting for your spot in line to finally get to the front. Sooner or later, you're on the actual ride screaming with enjoyment, or more often than not, with fear and anxiety. No matter how you look at roller coasters, they will always spark up some kind of emotion after going through them. "Let's do it again!" or "I'm never riding that again!" are probably two different statements you have heard someone said about them.

It's been a while since the Buffalo Sabres were a team to be taken seriously. We must go back to 2007 to see Buffalo win a playoff round.

Miracle At Heinz Field
It has been a year of great uncertainty for all of us. The global pandemic that took control of the world in March brought a halt to many things we’ve always taken for granted, including… professional sports. The NBA season was suspended just a few weeks away from the start of the postseason; and would not resume play again until late in the month of July. Major league baseball delayed the start of their season until right about the same time that basketball started up again; and then nearly had to call off the season after several clubs reported outbreaks amongst ball players and other team personnel. There were many among us who wondered, and perhaps even doubted, if the National Football League would have a season at all in 2020.

Hockey Team #4
As you already know, my favourite team is the Montreal Canadian. So because of that I can only hate Boston. I can still be objective when I talk about a hockey team no matter how bad I hate them when they play my team. The Bruins aren't an exception and I will make a fair overview of the Massachusetts's team. Therefore, let's determine if Boston upgraded in the offseason.
