Lleyton Hewitt used it. Maria Sharapova made it into an art form. Serena Williams combined it with screaming with anguish, and Ana Ivanovic wears it. It, as in, the fist pump. Every time a player wins a point, someone is doing a fist pump, whether it is the World No. One, World No. 27, or World No. 127. Lleyton Hewitt started this, “Fist Pump Revolution.” Almost on...

It was hard to get up from the Tour of California where the Bissell Team is among those biking and crashing their way through the Golden State. But there are drugs in the news there, just as in golf, where criminal charges have been filed in federal court against Dr. Anthony Galea, who became famous for treating injured athletes, but sometimes with not the right stuff. One of my sports-writing...

If we’re absolutely honest, one of the reasons that motorsport, in this case Formula One, is so compelling, is the possibility that it can all go wrong and end up in a spectacular shower of car parts and shattered carbon fibre. It’s certainly not the main reason that we watch, but the adrenaline hit that comes from being a witness to these incidents is undeniable. It is an uncomfortable...

Spain is going to the World cup with one of the strongest squads. It has at least one top player for each position. Vicente del Bosque’s task of choosing the best eleven for each game is not the easiest. Nevertheless, I decided to list the starting eleven that Vicente del Bosque is most likely to use in the World Cup. Begin Slideshow Read More →

Featured Columnist Andy Reistetter is on site at the HP Byron Nelson Championship at the Las Colinas Four Seasons Resort and Club in Irving Texas. I love the story of Forrest Gump. Forrest is a simple man who comes from a small hometown and journeys through life in a surreal manner witnessing great events and making an impact in his own creative and fortunate manner. I...

You can’t deny that Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso had an interesting race weekend in Monaco. After crashing in final practice, the two-time world champion had to sit out all of Saturday’s qualifying, and start from the pit lane for Sunday’s race as Ferrari mechanics battled to rebuild his car. Alonso had one of his best races in a long time—it’s not easy to start in...

On Wednesday night, a multitude of T.V. executives and PGA Tour sponsors were in a state of panic. In the morning, the dewy, verdant fairways of TPC Four Seasons Resort in Irving, TX would play host to the HP Byron Nelson Championship, but there was an ominous, palpable void plaguing the minds of the big-whigs— none of the top 10 ranked players in the world would be competing this week. After...

If that picture does nothing for you, then you’re a little dead inside. There are few tracks that carry the same terror as the Nurburgring Nordschleife, and probably no race that is even vaguely similar to the Nurburgring 24 Hours – where Porsches compete alongside (and occasionally through, between and around) anything from Renualt Clios to four-door Aston Martins. Elsewhere in a weekend...

James Nitties and Jason Day share the lead at minus-four after nine holes at the HP Byron Nelson Invitational on Thursday, May 20. Rain has delayed the first day, so play will resume in the morning to finish the first round, and then the second round will start right up. Dustin Johnson is at minus-two so far and is one of my fantasy players this week. My projected winner, Heath Slocum, has not started...

Lists are a popular trend in sports. Whether meaningful or meaningless, lists are good. They force fans to think, to choose sides. Either you agree with the list and the order or you don’t. Lists aren’t about being right. They’re about creating a topic for conversation. So here’s the topic: which U.S. players have had the biggest impact on American soccer? Maybe it came...
