One of the most thoughtful reflections on the Games. Not a great look if the BBC or other PSBs passed on the £5m for the rights, given they are happy to pay over £60m for wimbledon annually.
Commonwealth Games worth saving — if athletes and broadcasters buy in

Many congratulations Miguel.

Very sad to hear this. Rob was a one off and force of nature. Was more knowledgeable about sport than anyone I know and will miss not getting his Xmas card this year...
If you ever read Rob Steen then you should read this predictably brilliant tribute by Matthew Engel. Even if you didn't know Rob's body of work, read it any way. He was a lovely man and a uniquely talented, imaginative writer cricketwriters.com/rob-steen…
