The Sports Review

Marvin Williams, a 24-year-old Atlanta Hawks forward shot in the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Miami Heat on Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2007, in Atlanta. As a result, the Hawks defeated the Heat 117-111. Williams matched his career high with 26 points.

The New York Knicks were down 14 points when some outraged fans announced via the loudspeakers the following phrase: “Make some noise.” It sounded strange, taking into consideration that the Knicks are one of the worst teams in the league. The fans kept on showing their outrage Monday night when they booed the team because of its 119-92 devastating loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Alex Rodriguez, known for his remarkable baseball playing, has set another record for baseball’s highest contract, finalizing his $275 million, 10-year agreement with the Yankees. The previous mark of the outstanding baseball player was his $252 million, 10-year deal with Texas in December 2000. However, after having been traded to the Yankees in 2004, he cancelled that contract during the final game of the World Series. The new deal allows Rodriguez to earn $30 million more for achieving historic records.

P.S. A-Rod is 18th on the career list with 518 homers, 244 shy of Barry Bonds‘ record.

Michael Dwayne Vick is a well known National Football League star, quarterback in Atlanta Falcons team.
On Monday he was condemned to 23 months in prison by a federal judge as a result of his role in illegal dog fighting and related gambling activity and then lying about it. He also was mulcted of $5,000 and given a trial period of three years. It’s quite difficult to predict when see Vick back in game (not in gambling of course), but it’s absolutely clear that world sport is not ready to sacrifice him!

Two Australian golfers Rumford and Lutterus will join the lucrative United States PGA Tour next year after they finished inside the Top Twenty-Five in the tour qualifying school. Brett Rumford fired a final round 70 on the Crooked Cat golf course and finished 25-under-par after the 6 rounds and in 2nd place behind Lickliter from the United States, who led from day 1. Lutterus, rookie from South Australian stumbled to a final round 74 but it was quite enough for the golfer to scrape in on 14-under-par

So many things have been about the great tennis player in recent years. Something like he is nothing without that serve, or that his volley is not that great, or that at times he is too defensive… However, very few could argue that there is a more deserving Davis Cup winner than Andy Roddick. The player has only missed 1 series in the past 6 years, which is especially remarkable for an elite player.
