The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

The Short List What gem thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Micheal Jordan in basketball, Steven Appiah in football/soccer, Jaromir Jagr in hockey (love the czech's!). Other players I love: Sol Campbell, Papa Bouba Dip, David James, Nwanko Kanu, C Ronaldo (although I also hate him too) and the ever lovable John Terry. Also Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett.
Favorite Sports Teams

Portsmouth FC, Barcelona FC, Botswana Meat Commission FC lol ;)
All Time Sports Moment

lol @ Robinson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmws59X1cNg
Most Memorable Game Attended

Champions League 2006 Barca vs Chelsea: the most memorable was seeing the look on Abramovich's face as he realized how much money he wasted on Chelsea
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Ronaldo's record of screwing 3 tranny's in Rio at once or maybe the other Ronaldo's record of screwing 15 hookers in Amsterdam at once
Ruth or Mays?

Mays is my favorite brand of chip no doubt
Unitas or Montana?

Tony Montana: first you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the midgets...
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan, greatest athlete ever for his sport imo. Made basketball a global sport.
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky Orr who?
Pele or Maradona?

Pele was godlike, Maradona was a cheater and was on cocaine during the hand of god raping of England. He was also on cocaine during the post game interview, pregame interview and well pretty much always.
Federer or Sampras?

That boring swiss robot that keeps beating everybody
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Don't know anything about golf, but I say Tiger cuz he wins in a white man's game. If there was a dominant black hockey player, I'd cheer for him.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Coin says: Earnhardt.
Schumacher or Senna?

Valentino Rossi
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

huh? pac wha...???? Big 12 cuz it sounds like a porno movie :)

The Underestimated Importance of Football Agents

For some the roles of agents keep football the billion pound industry it is across the world today.

For others agents are unnecessary commodities that suck millions of pounds out of the game each year at the expense of the sport. Which Side do you sit on?

Be sure to leave your opinion Gem!

Hey Gem

I know I have always stood firmly in my belief that Cristiano is highly over rated, and very immature. Recently , I've seen alot of change in him.
Here's an attempt at convincing MYSELF, that he's not such a bad person after all...
The more he matures , the less I will hate him...
So here's a peace offering for the last four years , for all the mean things I've said about him, I might still not like him a lot, but I hate him much less after writing this article
