"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"

"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship from the movie Mannequin was the number one the song , Tanduay won the Open conference in the PBA, Ronald Reagan was US president, The reigning Tour de France champion is Greg LeMond, Coventry City won the FA cup and a band named Guns and Roses were releasing their debut album. The was no cable and satellite TV, internet, wifi , broadband or cellphones. Nobody have heard of a guy named Michael Jordan.

The year was 1987.

This was the last time The Celtics and Lakers have meet for the NBA finals, a rivalry that started the decade.

How time flies by, its been 21 years .

Growing up near an American air base, we had special a UHF antenna so that we can get signals from US Arm forces TV. The best finals in the 80's live on TV during breakfast, no need to wait for the late night news.The games were broadcast after a week on local TV , after they get thier VCR copies from the States.

I still can name the Lakers ; Magic, Jabbar, Cooper, Scott, Worthy, Rambis and AC Green.
Yeah, I was Laker fan back them, they had more team work. Celtics were build around Bird.

How 21 years have passed so fast.

I have been waiting for NBA final match up for years.
But this time I'm going for the Celtics 4-3 on 7 games.

Guinness Asia 9 Ball Tour

This weekend, its the 3rd leg of the Asian 9 Ball Tour.
Since the tour was sponsored by Guinness last year , no Filipino has ever won a leg.
The 3rd leg will be held in Genting Highlands, TV schedule on Star Sports below;

Friday May 30 - 5 to 9:30pm
Saturday May 31 - 12 to 6pm ( quarter final)
Saunday June 1 - 12-4:30pm (semi and finals)

Since most Filipino cue artist are sponsored by San Miguel Beer, I wonder why they haven't won a leg since 2007? Is it beacuse of the Beer?

I love football, but I need space !

I still have that feeling in Moscow last week, the end of a long fruitful season for United.
But wait, I need to get up tonight for a friendly between US and England.
( note : Fabio Capello spoke English for the 1st in his press conference yesterday)

Will football have an off season?
The joy of winning a champions league just sinked and here we go again.
A few friendlies and Euro 08 starts next week.

The US big sports, where off season is a reality makes sense.

I love football, but I need space.

Celtics Lakers anyone?

Do we need a Malaysian Sports Center edition ?

The Malaysian edition of ESPN's Sports Center runs before the Asian edition at 7pm.
Both editions have similar content with the local one having a bit of local football and amateur sports. Personally I don't watch the Malaysian edition and would rather wait for the Asian one.

Why we really need a Malaysian version of sports center?

Why not a ten minute update on Malaysian sports and leave all the international sports news to the Asian edition?

Besides its not environmental friendly watching two shows with almost the same content
running consecutively. Thats 30 minutes of wasted electricity! And the English of the presenters are so bad they wont pass auditions for DJ's on an AM band in other countries !
