You Have Padded-Up Super Bowl, We Have Stripped Down Six Nations Rugby

You’d be forgiven—if you are American—for thinking that the entire sporting world fell into awed silence as the brouhaha that is Superbowl swept along everyone with even the faintest of pulses. And of course this year’s spectacle had the extra wow factor of an emotional New Orleans back-story: underdog, triumph over adversity, not a dry eye in the house. For many on the other side of “the... 

John Isner: The Next Best Thing for American Tennis?

The 6’9″ American John Isner has shown us he can be the next great American tennis player. Isner has shown us that you can still be a potential great even after going to college.

Kenny G.: The New Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods gets all of the attention throughout a golf tournament no matter how well or poorly he is playing. It seems like we see every step he takes down the fairway, into the woods, through the bunkers, and onto the greens. We’ve accepted this because he is the world’s best golfer and arguably the greatest golfer of all time. Even when he is struggling, it is entertaining to see him... 

2010 World Cup: Has the John Terry Affair Ended England’s Chances?

The new decade has not started well for John Terry. No sooner had it begun before he replaced Tiger Woods as the new public enemy No. 1. The reason for this, as has been well documented for weeks now, is the allegation (and it remains just an allegation) that Terry had an affair with the former girlfriend of England teammate, and ex-Chelsea teammate, Wayne Bridge. The incident raised a number of questions. Would... 

Srixon Z-Star and Z-Star X Tour Yellow Golf Balls Are Making Big Impact

Srixon recently launched the new Z-STAR and Z-STAR X Tour Yellow golf balls. According to Srixon, numerous studies have concluded that yellow is the most visible color to the eye.

Novak Djokovic and the Battle for No. 2 in the ATP Rankings

It is a new high for Serbian Novak Djokovic, who finds himself ranked No. 2 in the world as well as being the No. 1 seed at Rotterdam this week. Finally, after years of chasing that No. 2 spot, it seemed to fall into his lap as former No. 2 Rafael Nadal’s knees folded once again during the quarterfinals of the 2010 Australian Open. For all but a few weeks starting in August 2009, when Nadal gave... 

Rugby Union: Team of the Decade (2000-2009)

A decade has ended so now I look back and name the XV I consider to be the best of the decade. Picking just fifteen players from ten years is not an easy task and I’m sure that someone else could pick a their team of the decade and it would be completely different to mine showing us the depth that we have in the current game. One of the most difficult things to consider when picking a team of... 

A Sad Day for Loud Dressers: Jesper Parnevik To Call it Quits

It seems the PGA and European Tours will be one man short on the fashion front. Jesper Parnevik will likely be forced to hang up his clubs, as well as his Johan Lindeberg clothing and flip-up hat. Parnevik was best known for his attire, an eccentric style that burst onto the American golf scene and made the Swede a hit upon his arrival to the PGA Tour in the mid-90’s. Last week at the Northern... 

Formula One Refueling Ban Will Get Someone Killed

Since announcing the refuelling ban, F1 has been applauded by both teams and fans for improving safety and taking fuel strategy out of the equation. Both of the above are appalling—particularly the teams supporting it. They should know better than this—they WORK with this stuff after all. I’ve been saying this since the day it was considered, and I’ve always been considered nuts for...
