By Andrew Seidman | November 2, 2009

Two minutes and 14 seconds later, the door on Groh's coffin was nailed shut - or so the mass exodus of fans amid a one-possession game would suggest. "We put a lot into this - put everything we got into it," Groh said.

The human condition, part one

By Jack Bird | October 29, 2009

Admittedly, some people are more affected by them than others, but sports have captured our attention for centuries. Since the days of the first Olympiad in 776 BCE - when the competition brought about an Olympic-truce between nations - sports have influenced our lives to an incalculable degree. There is 24-hour coverage of sports, thanks to networks like ESPN.
