Indianapolis Colts hot favourites for Super Bowl XLIV

Saturday night, the second season officially begins in the NFL for the Indianapolis Colts, who haven't played a meaningful game in over a month now. The Colts are under the microscope , losing their last two games, as they favored resting their starters to a perfect season. With questions surrounding this decision, the Colts are under immense pressure to win the Big One, or risk being cast as a huge disappointment yet again. The oddsmakers though really believe the Colts have what it takes to go all the way this year, giving them the tightest Super Bowl odds in the sportsbook. The Colts boast plenty of talent on the offensive side of the ball, led by 2009 MVP Peyton Manning, and the veteran tight end, Dallas Clark (100 receptions, 1106 yds), and receiver, Reggie Wayne (100 receptions, 1264 yds), but have been perennial underperformers in the postseason,

East Bengal penalize Lajong in Federation Cup Final

East Bengal defeated Shillong Lajong FC in the final of the Federation Cup 3-0 in a penalty shootout. A resilient Lajong side managed to hold a significantly more experienced East Bengal goalless for 120 long minutes of open play. However, the heroics of East Bengal goalkeeper Abhra Mondal in the penalty shootout ensured that his side picked up the coveted trophy. Lajong had to do without their key defender Daniel Bedemi due to suspension, while East Bengal brought in Harmanjot Khabra in place of the injured Alvito D'Cunha into an otherwise familiar starting eleven. The match started off in quite a cagey manner, with both sides adopting a cautious approach. East Bengal was more dominant in the first half but

TheSportsCampus' Indian Sportsperson of the Year Award

It's only at the end of the year that we look back and realize how fortunate we were to have seen the sporting action from the past 12 months. There are some moments so unique that even years down the line, we still talk about them fondly. For example, most of those who were around in 1983 would still remember exactly where they were when Kapil Dev lifted the World Cup trophy at Lord's. It's always nice to compile these articles to celebrate the achievements of our own countrymen one more time. Every trophy captured also works to inspire our youngsters to work even harder, to be that person bringing glory to India. And, fortunately enough for us, the last few years have seen more and more occasions for us to celebrate. Ahead, we list down those men and women who've made us proud this year. Badminton:

Who will partner Sania Mirza at London 2012?

Despite the global media going completely gaga over the inclusion of Mixed Doubles in tennis at the Olympic Games in London 2012, a cricket mad India seems to have glossed over the fact that their fairy-tale princess Sania Mirza will need to once again go through the arduous task of picking a doubles partner with multiple suitors hoping it will be them. TheSportsCampus.com took a deep hard look in its Crystal Ball and came up with the following possibilities: Mahesh BhupathiMahesh has shared a close relationship with Sania through his sports management company Globosport, which has had Sania on their pages since the onset of her career.
