Q: The Kentucky Derby is called The Most Exciting Two Minutes In Sport. How did the Derby get this title?
A: It beat out, but just barely, the following events: Phil Mickelson in the lead at a major; an NBA 20-second timeout; Anna Kournikova toweling off during a changeover; the Olympics’ 100-meter dash, non-steroid-users heat; MSNBC editors on deadline removing the bad-taste jokes from this column; Mike Price’s Alabama coaching career.

Anna Kournikova toweling off during a changeover;




ahem............it seems to last more than 2 minutes? (only thanks to .......shut up wez!)

How about........Any lap of any Grand Prix circuit by Michael Schumacher in his brand spanking shiny scarlet 2003 Ferrari F1 Car?

Failing that............. Any English opening batsman, anywhere in the World?
