NFL Teams That Never Won A Super Bowl

by

My 7-year-old asked a question the other day: Which NFL team has never won a Super Bowl before? Although I could name a few, I was surprised to find out that 14 of the 32 NFL clubs are still fruitless in the pursuit of a Superbowl victory. And, four of them never even made it … Read more

2011 Chinese New Year is just around the corner. I was looking for the exact date this morning and realized none of my calendars actually showed it.

Now that everybody owns a smart phone – everybody, except me – I can’t be too selfish anymore.

by

world-cup-2010-logoThe FIFA 2010 World Cup is only a month away. I realized that not only I didn’t know the schedule yet, I couldn’t even name half the teams.

In fact I still play twice a week, in a wonderful team that has a genuine international representation. So I kind of blame the American TV networks for turning me into a NFL/NBA fan instead. It is no secret that football, basketball, baseball, and even poker are placed ahead of soccer on your shiny LCD screen.
