From a RACER magazine interview with Jackie Stewart before the 1999 Australian GP Q: Beginning this year, Jeff Gordon will be a driver for your Formula 1 team, and I know you two are both excited about your future partnership. Right now, though, I’d like to talk about the past. As far as...

Though the Indianapolis 500 grandstands have been packed to capacity every year in recent memory, this year was the earliest sellout date in the history of the Speedway, and Jeff Gordon is the reason why. With the open-wheel legend announcing plans to retire from the cockpit after the 2015...

The 2002 Germany-South Korea semifinal was just about as one-sided as 1-0 matches can be. The only real hope for the Koreans getting past Germany would be to survive 120 minutes to penalties, and even then Oliver Kahn, with his run of form in that tournament, would make the Germans clear...

Not an exact parallel, but the life and career of Cole Trickle was modeled closely on Tim Richmond. Besides the good looks and the charisma, both of them were former open-wheel stars who hailed from outside the traditional NASCAR talent-budding grounds in the South. Both of them initially...

800 extra lives saved sounds like a really optimistic estimate to me, even with all the extra boats in the world. According to the most reliable estimates, it took the officers and crew over an hour to load and launch the first 17 lifeboats, starting with boat number 7 shortly after 12:30 a.m...

How close to reality was the claim, made by Blake Harris in Console Wars, that folks from Sega's American branch were close to finishing a deal with Sony that would have had the two companies teaming up to make the Playstation? If true, it seems in retrospect that that could have won them the...

Super Bowl III: With his team already deep in Jets territory on the opening possession of the game, Earl Morrall rifles a quick pass to Willie Richardson on the right sideline. Two plays later, Morrall hits Tom Mitchell in the endzone to open up the scoring, concluding an opening drive in which...

I'd thought about that as I was posting - I wonder where McDaniels goes, then? As the architect of a record-setting offense, he's going to be one of the most in-demand head coaching candidates in recent NFL history. Maybe he ends up in Kansas City under Scott Pioli, who'd just been hired that...

If they win the Super Bowl in February 2008 and finish off the perfect season, the Patriots complete their transformation into the Yankees of football: every fan either loves them or hates them, with almost no one in between. The ‘72 Dolphins leave our lives forever, although a few of them...
