Wolverine Wednesday: Takes on Concussions

If you follow this blog, you know I have a “thing” for concussions. I believe that football teams don’t take concussions seriously and put kids back in the game way too fast. It can happen at any level of football, High School, College and of course in the NFL. If you remember when Sam McGuffie was a Wolverine, I was of the opinion he should probably quit football altogether (he actually... 

WGC-Match Play Championship: Five Players You May Have Never Heard Of

Although the PGA Tour season officially began almost two months ago, the Accenture Match Play Championship marks the first time this year that we will see a true gathering of the top players in the world…minus numbers one and two of course. While Tiger Woods is off doing, well, whatever it is he’s doing, and Phil Mickelson is vacationing with his family, here are five young European Tour players... 

Zoran Waits For US F1 To Die

F1 has been bleeding big players. BMW have gone, Toyota have gone, Honda have gone. Really and truly, Renault have gone, even if their name lingers on like the Cheshire Cat’s smile. Nobody who has studied the sport’s history has been surprised by any of this. It has always been the case that mass-market car makers come into F1 and drop out again. Only Mercedes remain of the volume car makers,... 

Stricker, Ogilvy, Harrington, Westwood, Furyk at Accenture Matches

Picking winners in golf is one of the hardest guessing games in sports. It’s harder in a Tiger-less tournament—harder still over just 18 holes where anything can happen. If you don’t believe that, just ask Nick O’Hern who beat Tiger Woods in the 2007 Accenture Match Play Championship.   Someone will win it. The trick is to figure out who. The top 28 in the world are in Tucson. With... 

Tiger Woods: In Title Only

Dustin Johnson is making a name for himself.   With his third victory on the PGA TOUR coming last week at Pebble Beach, he certainly has distinguished himself from the rest of the pack of up-and-coming golfers.   In fact, he is one of only three golfers in the world to have at least three PGA TOUR victories while still in his 20s.   The other two golfers with that distinction are fellow American... 

The War of the Racket: A Tennis Players’ Worst Nightmare

Have you ever picked up a racket and thought it felt identical to the previous model in your hand? Has the word “string tension” or “grommet size” created a puzzled look on your face? If so, you’re not alone—the world’s best tennis players have the exact same problem. The struggle of finding a consistent and appropriate frame for the world’s best players... 

The 2010 WGC Accenture Match Play Championship Six Pack

You know how I never pick guys to repeat as champion of events? Looks like Dustin Johnson may be causing me to rethink my policies. He was only the third player to repeat as champion at this event and truth be told, it couldn’t have happened to a better guy. DJ has certainly turned heads as a real contender and looks to be on pace for a stellar career. This week we head to the beautiful Ritz-Carlton... 

Power v. Touch: An Age Old Quandary in Dustin Johnson-Paul Goydos Pairing

Dustin Johnson prevailed over Paul Goydos and JB Holmes Sunday at the AT&T Pebble Beach National, capturing his third career PGA Tour victory. But before Johnson had teed it up, or the slick Poa annua greens had been trimmed, or the morning dew blanketed the rye fairway grass, Sunday’s final pairing had stirred up the suspense of an age-old golf quandary: What kind of golfer has the upper-hand—a... 

Dustin Johnson: Tailor Made For The Masters

Couldn’t help but notice last April when this tall, gangly guy got up on the 18th tee at Augusta National and ripped his drive over the towering pines on the right, drove his ball up far onto the upslope and hit  a sand wedge into the green during the Masters. Thought that was pretty impressive. The guy was Dustin Johnson, now a two-time, back-to-back winner at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Best... 

Five Things Fabio Capello Learnt from the Weekend’s Action

With the 2010 World Cup now under 19 weeks away Fabio Capello is just a couple of months away from naming his final England squad for the final tournament.   The Italian has returned to England to take in games in person after recovering from his recent knee surgery and below we examine what might have caught his eye with a view to preparing for South Africa this summer.     1. The goalkeeping situation...
