And that's just the start of one sorry list
LeBron misses home — that's fact, not theory —
Let's start from the top and recalculate.
Nadal sculpts a beauty on French red clay.
But we're jumping too fast out of the gate.
From darkening skies comes a shaft of light.
It all seems so close, this wonderful chase,
Tide, Oregon, Seminoles, OSU.
Becomes a lot richer when a judge lets
Federer's game, while still sharp and vital,
A driver is killed at a New York track
He loses his team and his wife's support
But it's awfully hard to tell who's winning
Game 7 over, the Giants on top.
A public outcry, incomprehension
So paint the town orange and paint it black.
The protests soon fade and the streets are tame,
A thriller at Indy by Hunter-Reay.
Then we start to pack and prepare to leave,
As if he's a bowl of shrimp linguini.
Before the postseason gets in his way.
Far too intent on "protecting the shield."
Far better, for sure, than such dreary talk:
A Little League artist goes on display.
While fans in Philly confront ghastly nights
Europe again is a Ryder Cup force,
But nowhere in sight the "beautiful game."
And more than enough political heat,Cheap Stitched Jerseys.
A-Rod is banned and sits out a season.
And gallantly calls her a "pig" in court.
With World Series visions of '85.
Summer
The U.S. Open goes to Serena —
With the NFL under full attack,
Will athletes protest? Who dares to try it?
So much for the luge, on to Crimea.
Then there's the question of how to refer
All of which leads to investigation
Australia swelters; Wawrinka's a smash.
March Madness concludes and a Husky roars
NASCAR's new format is put to the test,
Watching the Sixers awaiting last rites.
(She of the visor fit for a welder.)
And just like that we're in the last inning,
And Cleveland is suddenly paradise.
Two Opens at Pinehurst: golf's jamboree.
Can't produce an eighth Wimbledon title.
A Heat wave passes and the Spurs ascend.
And Harvick, at Homestead, handles the rest.
So here's looking at you . 2015.
Horsewhipping Cossacks lash Pussy Riot
He takes to the air 'cause Ducks gotta fly.
Saint Jeter at last takes leave of his flock.
Then the Seahawks soar while the Broncos burn.
The damages top the sum once discussed
LeBron coming home in a cloud of chalk;
And he sobs and he sweats and shakes and heaves.
With sports imploding while attorneys fight,
He tells his girlfriend, if it's all the same,
Sochi begins with more sunshine than sleet
Leaving his car in which he'd been riding.
(His better angels asleep at the wheel).
His body of work in sudden decline.
At last, college football's playoff debut:
On top of plea deals and litigation.
First up, Martin Kaymer, then Michelle Wie.
For ailing players whose brains are concussed.
Can you say Tom Brady? Or J.J. Watt? —
Spring
Not so for the Royals. It's their time to thrive,
Fall/Winter
Has this lawlessness gone beyond the pale?
Come Heisman time, Mariota's the guy.
Best not to bring blacks to a Clippers game.
Bubba Watson dons one more green jacket.
Uruguay's Suarez bites Chiellini
Mario Goetze steps up to win it.
The U.S. team fades — all par for the course.
Where Johnny Manziel's selling merchandise
The right to form unions comes to the fore
Phil Jackson grabs a Manhattan-bound train.
In the final's 113th minute,
Adam Silver checks in and out goes Stern,
Kershaw's like Gibson was back in the day
Pistorius goes to trial, where he grieves
A thunderous smack, a soft suspension,
Are these games sponsored by the county jail?
But what in the world was that all about?
But is Mayweather next? The real cash cow.
McIlroy breaks up with Wozniacki —
Tiger's back goes bad. He just can't hack it.
Winston's troubles are about to begin.
The cops and the courts, the judge and jury.
Racism, head trauma, spousal abuse.
Vonn skips the Olympics — knee's the reason.
A landmark deal to pay NFL vets
The BCS ends, the Seminoles win,Wholesale China Jerseys,
For king/queen UConn — all roads lead to Storrs.
Brazil takes its place on the World Cup stage,Wholesale NFL Jerseys.
Of what went down in Atlantic City:
Michael Sam comes out, hailed for bold action.
Tony Stewart soon goes into hiding.
Winter 2014
A tape's soon played — and it's far from pretty —
And Roger Goodell's fast weakening spine,
To Washington's team and not use a slur.
And takes his talents back to Lake Erie,
Devouring Brazil like schnitzel and beer.
Pro football is thankful for what it's got —
Bumgarner taking a team on his back.
His feet turn cold and his play is rocky.
At Daytona, Junior reigns in the rain.
Germany's might is alarmingly clear,
At Yankee Stadium, upon this rock,
Hold on a moment. Let's see the year out,
Eighteen majors, like Chris and Martina.
Let's change the music. Something more serene,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping?
In sports, it seems clear, all mayhem let loose:
Then Alex Gordon is held at third base.
Led by Sterling's mouth, Putin's iron fist
The Kings win the Cup — this seems like a trend.
This the advice she gets from an elder?
The PGA's a similar story,Wholesale Hockey Jerseys China.
She paints the corners. The name is Mo'ne.
When Northwestern players open the door.
The NFL thinks this a "distraction"?
A foul out by Perez, Sandoval's flop,
No shortage of worry, anguish and rage.
Amid the uproar, the sound and fury,
Over a league that's now run far afield,
Finding basketball T-shirts: "I Can't Breathe."
But the colt can't kick a Triple Crown home.
Russia passes the flag to Korea —
Donald Sterling, on tape, makes an appeal
Sherman pelts Crabtree with torrents of trash.
Derby and Preakness: California Chrome,
But the British Open falls for Rory,Wholesale Jerseys,
Pacquiao scores a big win in Macau, |
