The Pacers are here to play and I have to take my hat off to them. To come off a heart breaking loss in Game 1 then somehow manage to level it up after Game 2 was very impressive. In-fact, they really should be favorites now with the ball in their...

Big Jim’s weekend wrap
Well, it’s finally here for all you lovers of clay court tennis. If you enjoy watching players bashing the living hell out of a tennis ball from the back of the court in long, laborious rallies then this is the tournament for you. I have to...

Racial slur with a positive outcome
Australian Football is an amazing sport. It is Australia’s game and as unique as the indigenous Australians that have called the “Sunburnt Country” home for the last 40,000 years. It transcends age, sex and ethnicity. Every year...
Big Jim’s tip for 27 May: South Sydney Rabbitohs
Its Monday night football and I have football on my mind. We are getting close to State of Origin so the big names will be out to impress. This is a danger game for the Bunnies but I still think they will get the job done. Adam Reynolds for South...

Big Jim’s tip for 26 May: Gold Coast Titans
This is an intriguing match-up in the old traditional rugby league time zone of Sunday afternoon. The Eels show occasional signs of brilliance but they face a side today that I think is horribly underrated. I just think the Titans have the forwards...

Big Jim’s tip for 25 May: Richmond
Dreamtime at the G; the Richmond-Essendon game celebrates the impact Australia’s indigenous people have had on the game of Australian Rules football. It is a great initiative that has seen this game become one of the most important annual...

Big Jim’s tip for 24 May: Sydney Swans
The Pies are inconsistent. If they play their best tonight they probably win against the Premiers but who knows what we are going to get? In Sydney we know we will see four hard quarters of dedicated effort. The Swans will want to get back to...

Big Jim’s weekend preview
The NBA finals will offer plenty of great action over the weekend. The Grizzlies muffed a huge opportunity to tie their series at one game apiece when they staged a heroic comeback in Game Two against the Spurs in San Antonio. They get to play the...

Big Jim’s tip for 23 May: Jason Dufner
The Crowne Plaza Invitational is the tournament where you receive a tartan jacket as part of the prize if you win. Thankfully you also score US$1 million to help overcome the pain of your mates laughing at that stupid jacket. Last year Zach Johnson...

Big Jim’s tip for 22 May: Tampa Bay Rays
Let’s hope we get paid today as the Tampa Bay Rays do a job on the Toronto Blue Jays. It’s poetic isn’t it? The most exciting division in baseball always tends to give us good games and I am always cheering on the boys from Florida...

Big Jim’s tip for 21 May: Gilles Simon
The French Open is six days away and while the big guns are taking a rest this week after a busy time of late, there are plenty of others taking the opportunity to fine-tune their game. Once of those is Frenchman Gilles Simon. A clay court...

The golf has been very kind to Big Jim this year and we claimed another huge collect with Keegan Bradley cruising into a top five finish in the Byron Nelson Classic. Bradley shot an incredible first round 60 (10-under par) on day one which basically...

Brand name Beckham
It’s hard to dislike David Beckham. It can be argued that maybe his football didn’t always live up to his status in the game but to argue his impact on the world’s most popular sport would be a waste of words. Beckham, who retired...
Big Jim's tip for 20 May: Storm v Sea Eagles
It’s Monday night football which always brings a smile to my face and what a match-up we have tonight. Both of these teams really don’t like each other so expect a little bit of “biffo”. I am going to go with the Sea Eagles...

Big Jim's tip for 19 May: Wigan
It’s the last day of the Premiership, which means that all teams kick off at the same time on the same day for their final game of the season. I really like this tradition and it’s nice that they haven’t bowed to television...

Big Jim's tip for 18 May: Canterbury Crusaders
The Crusaders are starting to hit form and show us what they are really all about. They are a formidable franchise and tonight will showcase a mouth-watering clash of two of New Zealand’s heavyweight rugby teams. I backed the Blues against the...

Big Jim's tip for 17 May: West Coast Eagles
Thank goodness for Australian Rules Football – if it wasn’t for the AFL I might not be having such a good month. I have another special for you this Friday night in the form of the West Coast Eagles. The Eagles have been a little off color...
