Sport News 24/7 By Rob McHugh  @mchughr  @TLE_Sport It is well known that the Football League's fit and proper person's test is unfit for purpose.  As many Leeds fans have pointed out following Massimo Cellino's disqualification by the Football League; Birmingham City are owned by a man who is in prison, the Oyston family's past is more chequered than a chess board and Peter Ridsdale has continually found employment in football despite taking Leeds, Barnsley and Plymouth to the brink...

Sport News 24/7 By Sean Simara  @Sean_FootyMad  @TLE_Sport Brian Hoyer has been given what could be his last chance as starting QB this Sunday as he tries to guide the Cleveland Browns to the play-offs.  His opposite number in Sunday's game will Andrew Luck for the Indianapolis Colts.  The Browns who are currently 7-5 knows a loss could end their push for a play-off spot this year.  The repercussions for  Hoyer could be more damaging.  The Johnny Manziel (Browns' youthful QB prodigy)...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport The UCI has announced that a major new international race held in the UK is joining the world cycling calendar.  Provisionally entitled the ‘Tour de Yorkshire,’ the race will be held on the 1st-3rd of May 2015.  The format will include a three stage elite event with the possibility of holding a women’s race and also a mass participation event too. This is a great coup for Yorkshire,...

Sport News 24/7 By Matthew Biggin  @MatthewBiggin  @TLE_Sport I had to smirk when I awoke on Monday morning to news that Massimo Cellino, the eccentric (I’m being polite) owner of Leeds United A.F.C. had been disqualified from the Yorkshire club and asked to resign by the Football League.  I guess that’s the owner equivalent of ‘left by mutual consent’. So who exactly is Cellino? Well he’s the former owner of Italian outfit Cagliari, where he earned the nickname Il Mangia-Allenatori,...

Sport News 24/7 By Lars Thomesen  @LarsHT  @TLE_Sport Footballers today get their fair share of bad press.  Tabloids feast on their tiniest mistakes and as soon as something is a little bit edgy, it will be on the back pages the next morning. Innocent stories such as Raheem Sterling’s alleged five kids at the age of 19 (he really just has one kid) and a track-suited-up Adnan Januzaj taking a WAG wannabe to Nando’s on their first date both created...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @TLE_Sport @davidjdewinter The curtain has come down on a very entertaining month of Autumn Internationals and the Northern hemisphere nations acquitted themselves surprisingly well against their southern counterparts.  Now admittedly there were a lot of tired bodies amongst the SANZAR nations who were coming off the end of a long season whilst the home nations are bang in the middle of theirs, but nevertheless, victories against these giants of rugby...

Sport News 24/7 By Lars Thomesen  @LarsHT @TLE_Sport This November the World Chess Championship was held in Sochi, Russia.  For the second year running Norwegian Magnus Carlsen was crowned World Champion, but on home soil, the 23-year-old’s achievements are debatable on a sporting level. In Norway, chess is not recognised as a sport by the official federation.  It has become an undefined game, even if Norwegian sports journalists voted Carlsen as Norway’s 2013 Sportsman of the Year. That was the...

Sport News 24/7 By Sean Simara  @Sean_FootyMad @TLE_Sport As we enter week 13 of the NFL season here’s a look at the contenders for the regular season MVP award. Tom Brady - QB New England Patriots Brady may not have as good targets as other elite QB’s in the NFL but he’s showing why he’s a winner this season; top of the AFC East, 24 Touchdown passes with only 5 interceptions.  Things are going well in Foxborough. Aaron Rodgers -...

Sport News 24/7 By Dan McLaughlin @McGloogly @gridirongents @TLE_Sport Whilst it feels like every week there’s a different team that could be a potential Super Bowl contenders, one team is constantly overlooked.  Despite constant chatter about how good the Broncos are or how likely a Patriots vs Packers Super Bowl is, there is only one team that is sitting on a 9-1 record this Season and in doing so are defying nearly everyone's rankings, despite a ridiculous injury list.  So...
