Like a lot of people, I've never really found the appeal in golf. Sure, it's fun to play the "crazy" version with all the spinning windmills and bad animatronic obstacles, but simply whacking a little white ball around a field doesn't do anything for me. Plus, when you compare it…

Ever since he entered the boxing ring with Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas in August, it would be safe to say that Conor McGregor has been in the headlines for his escapades out of the ring rather than in it. The UFC fighter, who made the unheard of switch from…

As a child who grew up watching WWE (or WWF as I knew it), The Big Show seemed like an absolute freak of nature. I mean, even now, at the grand old age of 24, I still can't get my head around quite how big he actually is. Standing at 7ft…
