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...

Big Jim's weekend preview
It’s finally all over for Wigan and now it’s time for Sunderland and Aston Villa fans to finally let out that long awaited sigh. Justice was probably served but all of the teams in the bottom half of the table can consider themselves...

Big Jim’s tip for 16 May: Keegan Bradley
I don’t know what happened to our good old mate Keegan last week at the Players Championship, I just know that his Srixon teammates, Graham McDowell and Vijay Singh, joined him in having the weekend off. At least he will be well prepared to...

Big Jim’s tip for 15 May: Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder
Okay, it’s “Wild Wednesday” so for something different we are going to go for a double tonight. Both the Heat and Thunder are at home tonight and I still firmly believe that these two teams are the best in the NBA. I would love to...

Big Jim’s tip for 14 May: Golden State Warriors
This is going to be one hell of a test for this young Warriors outfit. They head into this game in desperate need of a win against a very well drilled playoff outfit in the Spurs. Despite this I am going with the Warriors tonight as they are getting...

Fairytales do happen
Wigan, in England’s north, is a working man’s town. It is famous for being the home of England’s most successful rugby league team. It’s a tough place to live, built on blood, sweat and tears but it now has a sporting...
Big Jim’s tip for 13 May: Manly Sea Eagles v Sydney Roosters
It’s a Monday night blockbuster as the two silvertails go head to head in the battle of the bridge. I am excited about this match-up and expect a tough game up front in the forwards with the outside backs to have limited opportunities. I...

Big Jim’s tip for 12 May: Tottenham Hotspur
Just to show you I can bet against my boys I am going to go for Spurs to beat up on Stoke tonight. Even though Stoke isn’t clear of the relegation battle it’s a must win game for the Londoners as they battle it out with their London...

Big Jim’s tip for 11 May: Manchester City
I think the end of the road is nigh for Wigan. It’s going to be one of those seasons for the Northerners that was so close yet so far away. I expect them to lose this week’s FA Cup final as well as finishing at the wrong end of the...

Big Jim’s tip for 10 May: Geelong Cats
What an amazing football organization the Geelong Cats are. The experts keep waiting for their time as an AFL powerhouse to end but it looks like it may never come. They have found a young group of kids that can actually play and have added them to...

Big Jim’s tip for 9 May: Dustin Johnson
Big Dusty has it all. He is huge off the tee, has a great iron and short game and can light it up with the putter when he is on song. I think he represent huge value this weekend in the Players Championship and I tossed up whether to take him for a...

What a success story the Warriors have been this year. Big Aussie Andrew Bogut and their superstar Stephen Curry have well and truly exceeded expectations for the once struggling franchise. They were great against the Nuggets in the opening round of...

Big Jim's tip for 7 May: Washington Nationals
The Nationals are off to a slow start this year but you can expect them to continue to improve. They face a tough game tonight against the Tigers, another highly fancied outfit from Detroit. Jordan Zimmermann is on the mound for the home team and is...
