Nadal, Federer and Aristoteles
(June 12th, 2013) I was watching the Roland Garros’ male final last Sunday and I was deadly bored by an already written match ending, between two players so similar in their style but also quite different in their global values.

Ferrari 2000-2004: the history of a domination (3)
The 2001 season is a long red monologue, with Schumacher winning nine races out of 17, reaching almost to double (123 points to 65) the runner-up, the Scottish David Coulthard on McLaren.

Superbowl people 3: San Diego and the curse of 1994
This is a sad story. A story in which a franchise was forced to mourn eight of its players already a few years after their retire (two even while they were still in business), eight leaders of its most glorious team. A story that ties together the incredible coincidences of life, the depression that often…

Superbowl stories 2: Jerry Rice, the world in his hands
There cannot be one without the other. As Laurel and Hardy, as Starsky and Hutch, as Totò and Peppino, you cannot talk about Joe Montana without talking about Jerry Rice, the best receiver (and possibly player) of all time. The comparison of Rice to Randy Moss appears statistically equivalent…
