Super 14 Rugby Power Rankings: Round One

The first week of the 2010 Super 14 went largely as expected with a couple of thrilling finishes, some great tries and little bit of controversy thrown in for good measure. The main focal point of the first week was how the referees enforced stricter rulings around the breakdown area. It became obvious that some teams adapted to the new rulings better than others. While the new rulings did encourage... 

The Golf Blog: Becoming Mentally Comfortable

Because my new golfing philosophy is “practice makes perfect,” I’m finding it difficult to move beyond a particular club until I’m hitting it well.  Over the course of my last two practice sessions, the first in which I was scheduled to work on my three and four irons, I got stuck hitting the four a lot longer than I’d expected. I’ve always had difficulty hitting these two irons,... 

Why Tiger Woods Needs To Surface Soon

For the love of Pete, Tiger, Please. Come out and defend yourself.  Yet another woman, this time an adult film star, alleges that she had a three year affair with Eldrick leading to not just one, but TWO pregnancies.  Really? This whole saga is beginning to be painful to watch as Tiger, by his own avoidance of the media, has opened himself up to a mudslide of accusations from every corner of the... 

Golf Equipment: TaylorMade R9 SuperDeep (Spy Pics)

Behold, the TaylorMade R9 SuperDeep! We’re extremely excited about this new driver. It’s the successor of the R9 510 TP and comes in a sweet black finish. At address, the SuperDeep looks like a 410cc-420cc driver, when in fact it stands tall at a beefy 460cc’s. The sheer depth of the face is what makes this club look smaller than it actually is. It’s also the deepest face TaylorMade...

The 14th Hole at Pebble Beach Is a Money Eating Machine

Golfers were hemorrhaging money faster than Wall Street yesterday afternoon on the 14th hole at Pebble Beach. In no more than 45 minutes, three golfers lost a combined $1.23 million (at the least) courtesy of Pebble Beach’s par-five 14th. First came Alex Prugh.

Andy Roddick’s Hopes Dashed by Fernando Verdasco at SAP Open

Andy Roddick had the numbers stacked against Fernando Verdasco going in the SAP championship match. He was ranked No. 3 overall for most singles titles, and his record was 9-2 against Verdasco. But Verdasco was seriously looking to break Roddick’s winning streak. It would be the first time since 1964 that a Spaniard (Manuel Santana) had walked away with this title. In the opening set, it appeared...

Golf Is Not a Sport! It’s Just a Game Played By Wannabes

Ah, there he is. Exhibit A for members of “Golf is Not a Sport” nation. They ask how a fat guy can be considered an athlete. That if you don’t play offense or defense, it’s not a sport. The officers of the club are named Vinnie from Brooklyn or Brooks from Austin or Sterling from Resida. Doesn’t matter, though. They all agree that the playing of golf is not in the same...
