You know the gossip rags...anything for a headline...they'll make sure Ricky goes from hero to zero and then back to hero when he cleans up...."sensationalism = journalism.

Wolf, he is one of the biggest names in sports in the UK. It would be akin to someone like Tom Brady, doing the same in the US.

It doesn't help that the UK is the biggest tabloid culture in the world.

Part of the reason the Beckhams moved to LA to raise their kids.

It's a specialty of British tabloids to tear down a star once they've built him/her up.

Brady benefits from the "System"....it's the program that wins titles, not individual players!!!

I'm a Redskins fan, so I get to see pure mediocrity on a yearly basis.
