Even without betting on them, the races and games held during
stoppages in play of sporting events are often the most
thrilling action of the day; it's possible I miss the mites
games between periods more than anything else during the NHL
lockout. This relay race, from half time of yesterday's
Southampton-Newcastle match, had everything: big leads erased,
cheating, and plenty of pratfalls. I promise that if you pick a
team to support and watch through to the end, you won't be
disappointed by the drama.
