Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson at Quail Hollow? Not So Fast

“The world’s top two players will battle it out it this week in Charlotte.” “Woods and Mickelson will face off at the Quail Hollow Championship.” These are just some of the numerous advertising messages being distributed to promote this week’s Quail Hollow Championship. Now, it’s incorrect to say that this constitutes false advertising, because there is the... 

Roger Federer’s Struggles Continue

At this time last year, Roger Federer was struggling.  He had smashed his racquet in frustration after early exits at Indian Wells and Miami while many questioned his ability to regain his winning ways and capture a record 15th Grand Slam Title. Federer remarked that he was glad the hard-court season was over, and he was looking forward to the clay-court swing of the tour.  And indeed he... 

Ken Green: The Real Golf Comeback Story Of 2010

Three weeks ago Tiger Woods returned from a five month self-imposed exile to finish fourth at the Masters. So what…big deal. Last weekend Ken Green returned to the Champions Tour for the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf a year after having the lower portion of right leg amputated as a result of a car accident that also took the lives of his brother, his long-time girlfriend and his dog. A tragedy... 

Dolphin Shout: Ricky Williams, Miami Dolphins RB

I figure that today’s shout-out is an appropriate one. Today’s shout is for Ricky Williams, who is releasing a documentary (I guess that’s what you could call it) about his life today. Williams has always been a great running back in the NFL. He was also one of the best for a few years until he unexpectedly left the Dolphins in 2004. Since Williams has returned to Miami, he has... 

Quail Hollow Welcomes Westwood, Mickelson and a Fellow Named Tiger Woods

Tom Fazio has no shortage of considerable achievements in the world of golf course design. He has been named Best Modern Day Golf Course Architect three times. He also has been given the highest award given by the Golf Course Superintendent’s Association, of which I am a proud member, the Old Tom Morris Award. He has more golf courses ranked in the top 100 in the U.S. than any other living golf... 

Super 14 Referees Decisions & Performances Are Inconsistent

  On average a game of 80 minutes of Super 14 rugby, has just 34 minutes of playing time. The rest of the 47 minutes is directly attributable to the referee and how he blows the game. The standard of refereeing this 2010 Super 14 competition has gone from bloody awful to absolutely flawless. However, no team or coach is permitted to criticize the referee, so it is basically left to SANZAR to have... 

When in Rome: Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal 2006 Rome Masters Final

All roads lead to Rome. So the saying goes. But none of them are easy or even navigable in the final analysis. The prize at the end of the journey in 2006 for Roger Federer was a trophy to make him a winner at the Rome Masters for the first time in his career and, in the process, allow him to have an edge as he entered the draw at the 2006 French Open. All the Swiss had to do to secure the victory... 

Anything Goes: The Fun New World Of Formula One

Only four races into the 2010 Formula One season and already there’s a noticeable change into how the stewards are handling on-track transgressions. But is this a good thing? Most F1 fans would agree that some of the penalties handed out over the past few years have been, at best, bewildering and at times seemingly vindictive and unnecessarily harsh. In 2009, Sebastien Vettel received a 10 grid-place... 

Women’s Tennis Power Rankings: Samantha Stosur Soars to the Top

We are now three weeks into the clay-court season, and four clay-court tournaments have been completed. With four more Premier events in the next few weeks leading to Roland Garros, the best is yet to come. Until then, here is our latest power rankings.   The Top 10 1. Samantha Stosur (Last Power Ranking: 5; WTA Ranking: 10) Last Four Tournaments: Charleston [Winner], Miami [Quarterfinalist],... 

Charlie Davies Stalled Progress Creates Certainty for U.S. Attack

Sochaux president Alexandre Lacombe, the French soccer club where Charlie Davies earns his keep, has announced that Davies will not play for the remainder of the season. While this is disappointing for many U.S. fans, it may have put an end to a controversial subplot for the United States. If Davies would have (and at least according to him he will be), been healthy and able to perform, Bob Bradley...
