Sports redirects here. For other senses of that word, see sports (disambiguation).

A sport consists of a physical and mentally competitive activity carried out with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of a skill, or some combination of these. A sport has physical activity, side by side competition, self-motivation and a scoring system. The difference of purpose is what characterises sport, combined with the notion of individual (or team) skill or prowess.

Bob Ford: Fate brings Eagles back to Dallas
Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:04:30 -0000
A rematch win in the Saturday wild-card game against the Dallas Cowboys would certainly be a signature moment for the Eagles, particularly since they left an undistinguished scrawl - and a bunch of other nasty stuff - on the turf at Cowboys Stadium last weekend.
You Talkin' to Me? Assessing McNabb's criticism of young Eagles
Wed, 06 Jan 2010 13:17:14 -0000
From: Gonzalez, John To: Ford, Bob; Fox, Ashley Subject: Young guns Over the last few days, much has been made of Five's comments following The Debacle about how the young players needed to step up and make a play instead of waiting around for someone else to do it. We might be the only people in the city who haven't addressed the matter. So let's.
Phillies say goodbye to Park, Eyre
Wed, 06 Jan 2010 12:48:07 -0000
On the day when the Phillies welcomed reliever Danys Baez, they had other news about their pitching staff. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said that relievers Chan Ho Park and Scott Eyre are probably finished pitching in Philadelphia.
Ashley Fox: Jones wants vindication
Wed, 06 Jan 2010 09:00:19 -0000
IRVING, Texas - Jerry Jones paused and fiddled with the microphone in front of him last night, and his eyes turned glassy. For a powerful man familiar with great success and, at times, great failure, it was just a hint, but sometimes glimpses of emotion are all you get, and they say a lot.
Sixers Notes: 76ers keeping Iverson
Wed, 06 Jan 2010 08:46:16 -0000
76ers Notes Yesterday, the 76ers guaranteed point guard Allen Iverson's contract for the remainder of the season. The move was hardly unexpected. Entering last night, Iverson had played in nine games, starting all nine, and averaged 15.7 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.4 rebounds a game.
76ers embarrassed in loss to Wizards
Wed, 06 Jan 2010 08:39:17 -0000
This was so bad, so disheartening, so embarrassing, that folks actually hung around the Wachovia Center to boo.
