Goalkeepers have it hard, harder than most sub-groups of athletes. Regardless of the context, if you let that ball slip in, you WILL get a bollocking from your whole team.

This handshake between England’s Kevin Pietersen and Joe Root went down in a recent Ashes test in Australia. Played in slow motion, it may well be the most difficult sequence of play to have besmirched a cricket field in 2013. Yuck, man. [Thanks, Ross!]
This is like one of those bad dreams. A base jumper near Moab, Utah, fully collided with the cliff he’d just jumped off – and then had to face an age-long tumble to the ground.

Siesa, my bru! It’s the Kommetjie Festival on Saturday and if you’ve never done it before, I assure you it’s worth your while. The ‘Anything That Floats’ feature is my personal favourite. Go down, grab a beer and have a jol! Read on for details..

In 2012 over 3,000 people attended, and the festival raised R240 000 for ocean preservation. This year, it’s set to be even bigger and better.

This means that one week will give you our predictions and the next week we will simply provide you with a look at the sporting action coming up over the weekend, allowing you to make your own predictions. After all, it is your money so you can make up your own mind.

Check out this video teaser ahead of the 23 November launch of the new Bulls Rugby jerseys. Epic little video!
He just can’t keep out of the headlines, can he? This time he’s had an interview with Emma O’Reilly (the whistleblower who first called him out), and claimed that certain individuals at the very top of the UCI hierarchy played a hand in helping him get away scott-free for so long.
Volleyball just doesn’t get the same kind of press that other ball sports do. Well, maybe (women’s) beach volleyball does – but certainly not indoor volleyball. We’d like to change that, if only for a minute.
Last week we gave you an overview of the weekend’s sporting action but steered away from giving you our picks and predictions. This weekend we are going to make some calls and hope that you guys take our advice. It’s only a few bucks and it really does make the weekend’s action even more exciting!
Flying around Mount Fuji in a self-propelled jetpack is one thing – but wearing nothing but some material, and jumping off a cliff is totally different. In fact, after seeing Jeb Corliss’s major wingsuit accident, doing a wingsuit jump is patently insane.
The sentence “I wonder when Mike Tyson will write an autobiography” was definitely never uttered by anyone ever. But despite this, Mike Tyson shocked all when his new work ‘Undisputed Truth’ was published on Tuesday.
