Tiger Woods: No Apology Needed

Tiger Woods apologized Feb. 19 for his irresponsible and selfish behavior.   “I want to say to each of you—simply and directly—I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in,” he said.   In his somber speech at TPC Sawgrass, home of The Players Championship, he put his life into perspective and shared the direction he plans to pursue.     “I... 

Sampras-Agassi Proves To Be More of a Rivalry Than Federer-Nadal

The definition of a rival: a person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; a competitor. Federer and Nadal may be rivals since 2006, but their rivalry is a friendly one, never getting in fights or anything of the kind. I have always thought as Agassi and Sampras as more of “rivalry” than Federer and Nadal. They faced each other 35... 

Being Critical of International Officiating Can Only Benefit the U.S.

The manager’s post-game officiating complaint is probably the longest, most expected broken record in soccer, but one track is missing from the international compilation: an American soundbite.  It doesn’t matter if your team is the underdog or the favorite, if a penalty was erroneously given or missed entirely, there is one certainty in every game: the outcome could have been different... 

Sony Ericsson Open: Preview and Analysis

The Tour boys will have to make a quick turnaround this week from the dry, desert air in Indian Wells to the hot, humid conditions of Key Biscayne. The Sony Ericsson Open, another premier event on the ATP World Tour, will boast an impressive field featuring Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, and Rafael Nadal.  Notable absentees from the event include 2008 champion Nikolay Davydenko and... 

Tiger Woods: 10 Minutes and Love in the Past Tense

Typically when you love someone, well, you love them, past, present, and maybe in the future as well. When you “loved” them, well, that’s definitely past tense. Anyone notice that when Tiger Woods was asked on Sunday why he got married in the first place, he said that he “loved” Elin? Perhaps that was the most telling word in the 10 minutes that the Fallen One so... 

Ivan Ljubicic: Big Serves and Big Smiles

After a career filled with expectation and hard-work, good things came to Croatian Ivan Ljubicic over the week in Indian Wells, California. Let’s reflect for a moment on the tremendous achievement of the racket wielding 31-year-old during his 12 days of play in Palm Springs.  With the perennial favorites dusted before Sunday’s final, the game’s elder statesman used his mammoth... 

Tiger Woods Interview ESPN: Did Tiger Say Enough?

Yesterday, Tiger Woods gave his first interviews since that fateful night last Thanksgiving which set of a whirlwind of life-changing events for the world’s best golfer. Tiger Woods offered two short interviews, one with The Golf Channel and the other with ESPN.  Woods “sat down” with ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi for a five-minute lightning round of questions touching on his own... 

How Long Can Wayne Rooney’s Form Last for Manchester United and England?

There are perhaps only a handful of players in world football on whom the hopes of their club side, let alone their country, depend. Wayne Rooney is one of them. This season, the Manchester United and England forward has reached the level of performance many had hoped he would when he emerged on the scene with a wonderful goal against Arsenal as Everton’s 16-year-old boy wonder. For many years... 

Tiger Woods: Six Questions That Should Have Been Asked

Considering the five minute time constraint put in place by team Tiger, Kelly Tilghman and Tom Rinaldi did a fantastic job with their interviews/rapid fire questions yesterday afternoon. It’s always easy to look back and critique the performance of others, particularly when 99.9 percent of the population have never been and will never be in a situation even remotely comparable to what Tilghman...
