What an incredible win for #CRC! Little team that could! Best #WorldCup I've seen in a long time (& I've been around for a long time ;-)

Mexico Loses Heartbreaker to Dutch World Cup 2014
Bad luck for #MEX. Couple of minutes from upsetting #NED. Very dodgy penalty. Somewhere #BRA just breathed a huge sigh of relief. #WorldCup

Dodgers Beat the Cardinals
Man, #Greinke was dealing today. #Dodgers killed the #Cardinals. #DeeGordon was awesome, and the fans stayed till... well, almost the end.
Federer Wins, Serena Loses at Wimbledon 2014
Smooth sailing again for #Federer's Last Stand (aka #Wimbledon2014). #Serena, sadly, not quite so lucky. Dark days for American #Tennis :-(
Brazil Beats Chile World Cup 2014
Nerve-wracking win by tiniest of margins for #BRA! Better for #WorldCup they won but my heart goes out to #CHI who played their hearts out!

Federer Wins Round 2 Wimbledon 2014
Thankfully #Federer's Last Stand continues after a beautiful (literally) dismantling. Sad to see #Querrey go out like that. #Wimbledon
USA Out of Group of Death World Cup 2014
Poor chaps #USMNT were tired & got outclassed by #GER. But we're all #POR fans now! Wrong about #Klinsmann he got #USA out of Group of Death

Maleficent
Maleficent: Toothless remake turns the awesome 1959 cartoon (Im that old) into a prepubescent wish-fulfillment fantasy. Jolie kicks a** tho
Luis Suarez Takes a Bite Out of Italy World Cup 2014
Between usual #ITA negative shenanigans & #Suarez bite (oh Luis... from hero to goat, again) that #URU match was a black mark all around.
Federer Wins Round 1 Wimbledon 2014
#Federer's last stand aka #Wimbledon2014 gets off to a rousing start. Still a long way to go but hope springs, well, for a little longer :-)

Michelle Wie Wins US Open
Good to see Michelle #Wie win the #USOpen for her first major at only 24. Could be the shot in the arm she & #LPGA desperately needs.

No!!!!!! What a heart-breaking tie for #USA vs #POR. This bl**dy close...if it weren't for #Ronaldo deciding to finally show up. #USMNT

Germany Ghana Exciting Draw World Cup 2014
Great 2nd half shows how a tie can be exciting #GHA loss would've been great for #USA but those chaps played their hearts out vs mighty #GER
Argentina Barely Beats Iran World Cup 2014
Wait did #ARG escape with a win after being outplayed by #IRN?! Thank G*d for mercurial #Messi & his #Suarez-like (brief) burst of genius!

West Indies Level Series Against New Zealand
No one noticed, but great fightback by #WestIndies to level Test series against #NewZealand. #Gayle thought he's still playing T20. #WIvNZ

England Lose to Uruguay World Cup 2014
Heartbreak for #England. 2nd #Suarez goal was not #Gerrard's fault no matter what they say. Will be a dodgy first day back at #Liverpool ;-)

Short Term 12: 2013 gem I sadly missed last year. Wonderfully crafted. Brie is as good as advertised. The kids Dever & Stanfield are amazing

Heat Lose NBA Finals 2014
Shades of #Rafa 08 FO #Federer beatdown. Era-ending #Heat loss. Sad for #LeBron but can't be #GOAT if outplayed by some chap called #Kawhi.
Martin Kaymer Wins US Open 2014
Thumping win for #Kaymer. Ran away with the #USOpen. Two majors before age 30 is impressive. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Federer Wins Halle 2014
That was pretty scratchy, but a title is a title! Nice to see #Federer hold off a tough #Falla to win #Halle Next up: #Wimbledon duh-duh-duh

How to Train Your Dragon 2
How to Train Your Dragon 2: Fantastic sequel. It's becoming an all-time great series. Can Roger Deakins win an Oscar for this, please? ;-)
Federer Beats Nishikori Halle 2014
Solid win for #Federer over #Nishikori at #Halle At this point you take what you can get esp after what happened last time he played #Falla!

Dear #StanleyCup, welcome back to LA. Us #bandwagon fans promise to treat you to sun, sand & lots of fawning...for now ;-) #Kings #GoKingsGo
RIP Chuck Noll
RIP Chuck Noll. Sad loss for the #Steelers family. Criminally under-appreciated despite four Super Bowls. An all-time great coach.

Heat Lose Gm 4 NBA Finals 2014
This is how it always ends, whimper not a bang. Era-ending loss for #Heat. Sad for #LeBron, but how will I endure Sports Summer From H*ll?!
Brazil 3 - 1 Croatia World Cup 2014
Man, that was about as nervy a 3-1 win can be. #Brasil bailed out against #Croatia by the ref. Flashes of brilliance though. #WC14
RIP Ruby Dee
RIP Ruby Dee. Loved her (and Ossie Davis) in Do the Right Thing all those years ago and in numerous movies since. A grand screen presence.

Heat Get Thrashed NBA Finals 2014 Gm 3
Potentially series-altering loss for the #Heat! C'mon #LeBron, a bad sports weekend is one thing, I'm not sure I can survive a whole summer.
Phil Jackson's Players Become Coaches
PS. Talk about the Phil-coached-role-player 3-point-sharp-shooter market heating up! After #Kerr & #Fisher wonder how much #Horry is worth?!
Derek Fisher Retires
You Know You're Too Old When: Derek Fisher retires. #Lakers fans will be loathe to admit it but he deserves to have his jersey retired!

LeBron Carries Heat Gm 2 NBA Finals 2014

Heat Lose Game 1 NBA Finals 2014
Aargh! Sad loss for the #Heat! This is gonna be depressing. I know everyone wants #LeBron to lose but they can't want this right? #NBAFinals
Eugenie Bouchard & Andrea Petkovic Lose at the French Open
Aw man! Tough loss for young #Genie. And then #Petkovic lost too. I suppose we're all no match for the inexorable/ruthless #Sharapova, Inc.
RIP Don Zimmer
RIP Don Zimmer. Liked seeing the crusty baseball lifer by Joe Torre's side for all those years. As Pedro found out you didn't mess with him!

Federer Crashes Out to Gulbis
I know that #Gulbis is entertaining but the loss today makes you realize post-#Federer phase in #Tennis is nigh and boy does it feel gloomy.
