A unique watch, developed by a Hong Kong based entrepreneur, enables owner to view all fixtures and keep a record of results of up to any three of their favourite teams in English Premiership Football League is now on market.The watch, which comes in three colours, black, blue and red, is brainchild of Robert Cave, Managing Director of Spfx Sports Watches (International) Ltd. “At a business lunch with a friend three years ago, I said, wouldn’t be great if I could instantly know whom my favourite football teams are playing and idea of a watch having this capability was born,” Robert Cave said. “It has been quite a journey and it has resulted in development of what is first watch to read and download information direct from Internet,” he said.
| | First Look: The 2004-05 NBA ScheduleWritten by Dave Fitzpatrick
Admit it, first thing you did when 2004-05 NBA schedule came out last week was check to see when Shaq and Miami Heat would visit Kobe Bryant and Lakers. It probably didn't take long to find that game, though, as we all know NBA marketing machine would slate it for big time ratings on X-Mas day. Kobe and Shaq won't be only hyped-up, intriguing match-up of season, though, that's for sure. With such an active off-season, 2004-05 season is sure to be loaded with must-see games. Here are some of games I'm looking forward to... November 2, 2004 - Opening night always brings some interesting games, but, with this year's season opening on first Tuesday of November in an election year, I'm sure a lot of viewers are going to be watching something else. That's too bad because they'll be missing a solid lineup of 3 games to start season. The new-look Rockets, headlined by Yao Ming (now in his third season) and last year's scoring champ and newest Houston arrival, Tracy McGrady, will head to Detroit to take on Rip Hamilton, Ben Wallace, and defending champion Pistons, who will be receiving their rings. We'll also get to see Kings with-or-without Peja Stojakovic take on Nash-less Mavs. And, Kobe and new-look Lakers host Denver. November 4, 2004 - Francisco Elson apologized for making some derogatory comments about Kevin Garnett during playoffs, but it's safe to say KG's probably got payback coming in form of a huge game as his Wolves face off agains Nuggets. Also, it's worth noting Charlotte Bobcats tip off their franchise history against Washington Wizards. November 16, 2004 - Just halfway into first month of season and Steve Nash will head back to his old stomping grounds to take on Dallas Mavericks. The good money says Mavs owner Mark Cuban and Nash won't be bickering by then, and Nash should be well-received. Nash might wonder why he didn't get a better offer from Cuban, though, when he sees his former owner giving a million bucks away to a complete stranger sometime this fall on The Benefactor.
