Here we are. It’s the 14th of February, and the Formula One season is 30 days away from starting. That’s only 720 hours or so. 720 hours and counting until the start of a new era in the history of Formula One. But that begs the question: how different might this “New World Order” look from the so derided ancient regime of Formula One? Both the FIA and FOTA have a a lot of interest...

It is sometimes written that winter testing tells us nothing about the F1 season to come. Maybe this is true and all the drivers are currently saying that we know nothing yet. But, do you remember which team amazed most of us by being quickest in 2009 pre-season testing? Yup, it was Brawn GP and they went on to win the Constuctors World Championship. I was one of the cynics who did not believe that...

The opening round of the 2010 Super 14 did not produce the high number of tries expected, but did produce some strongly contested results. The new interpretations at the breakdown set the tone for how the remainder of the season will be reffed, and as Springbok coach Peter de Villiers said in an interview with Bob Skinstad on 94.7 Highveld Stereo, the referees take longer to adapt than the players...

Just how worried are the “big cheeses” in charge of the first Masters events of 2010? As the men’s Tour heads towards the climax of the early hard court season in North America, the window of preparation is closing fast. Yet there are worrying signs about who will actually start, let alone stay, the course. With the news this week that Juan Martin Del Potro will be absent for between...

Great article by Matt from The 20th Hole Golf Blog: Throughout my time working on this blog, I’ve tried to be as positive as possible about golf and everything golf-related. However, after attempting to watch the Golf Channel ’s coverage of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am today, I have to say that it 100 percent sucked. It was awful. Terrible. Atrocious. First of all, they would show...

The Hurricanes beat the Blues in a true game of two halves on Friday night at Albany. It was a fast-paced game, dominated by the number of penalties awarded but still seemed to flow well. The Blues started off well with new signing Stephen Brett having a blinder. It didn’t take him long to touch down for the first try of the 2010 Super 14 as he went through a large gap in the defence after...

Officials from the USGA and Ping met yesterday in Dallas to discuss the use of Ping Eye Two clubs on the PGA Tour. Can you believe these people get payed to have such ridiculous meetings? All of this groove craziness is enough to make your head spin. At least we don’t have to deal with it directly—like the pros on the PGA Tour. Actually…that would be awesome! Just being on the...

British No. 1 tennis star Andy Murray has inked a $3.2 million deal with Colgate toothpaste and he does not necessarily have to use the product. Colgate spokesman David Hork said that he personally spoke to Murray and had very few specific requirements in order to fulfill his contractual obligations. “Basically we want to see more of what Andy Murray does best and that is to...

Thirty years ago, the likes of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer used to walk the fairways of Pebble Beach alongside some of the most famous celebrities on the face of the planet. These were A-listers comparable to today’s Brad Pitt, George Clooney or Tom Cruise. Following their rounds each day, golfers and celebrities alike would all retire back to Bing Crosby’s house for a night of fun...

Ever since Federer won the French and his 15th GS title, the debate over whether he is the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) has been resolved for most tennis commentators. However, there are still a few for whom the debate is not resolved, either claiming that there is no such thing as a GOAT or that Federer is not the GOAT because there have been better players. Of course, they got a right to...
