He’s been through every emotion you could possibly imagine. He’s been from the very tip of the mountain top after winning the Masters a few years ago to being in the very bottom of what must feel like a bottomless pit over the last six months. He’s disgraced himself, hurt his family, and embarrassed his sponsors, friends, and fellow players. He made his return, albeit it too soon...

Roger Federer’s tennis has been less than spectacular since his Australian Open victory early in the year. The Swiss’ string of uncharacteristic losses to opponents he’d previosuly enjoyed a comfortable record against came to a head last week in Estoril Portugal, where he was thoroughly outplayed by the little known Albert Montanes in the Semifinals. Roger is baffled. Recently,...

You’ll have to forgive Tiger Woods if his mind really isn’t on golf these days. And the reasons are obvious. It’s time for Tiger to “lawyer up.” And that’s what he’s doing. Jose Lambiet’s the best at keeping tabs on A-list stuff on his Page 2 blog at the Palm Beach Post. And he’s right on top of Tiger. Seems Eldrick has hired one barrister...

Heading into the Monaco GP, drivers and teams are concerned about weekend traffic. That’s not the normal everyday road traffic that circulates the streets of Monte-Carlo when F1 isn’t in town, but the potential threat that the new teams could ruin the laps of the frontrunners around the short and very narrow circuit. The main area of concern is the 20 minute Q1 session where there will...

The death of 25-year-old LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg is as much of a mystery three days after her body was discovered in her Henderson, Nev. home. Blasberg was scheduled to play in a tournament in Alabama. When she didn’t show up Saturday, friends and family became concerned. Her body was discovered Sunday afternoon. Police are holding off on labeling the death. Details are sketchy. Here’s...

While players further up the field may grab more of the headlines it is impossible to overstate the importance of a reliable goalkeeper. Interestingly a number of world class keepers such as Shay Given, Petr Cech and Edwin Van Der Saar will be notable by their absence from this year’s World Cup. Others, like Jose Reina and Victor Valdes, appear destined to remain on the sidelines. For me there...

Monaco is a unique track in the modern Formula One world. It is an anachronism—a throwback to a gentler era of F1 racing. While it is picturesque, it is also tight, twisty and almost impossible to overtake on. If it was anywhere else in the world, the FIA would have shut it down years ago. It is to host the sixth race of the 2010 season. The drivers are expressing their concerns about how this...

This coming Thursday marks the exact date, 60 years ago, that the first World Drivers’ Championship race was completed. This will be marked by a special commemorative event in Monte Carlo on Thursday evening by Total and Mumm Champagne, and what better Grand Prix for the anniversary to fall on, the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday. If anything, all Formula 1 fans can thank Adolf Hitler for being the...

There is no respite for the F1 circus this weekend as we head straight to the streets of Monte-Carlo for the Monaco GP. The track certainly couldn’t be any more different than Catalunya if it tried. The two tracks are at the opposite ends of the F1 circuit spectrum. Whereas Catalunya has fast and long corners, Monaco is full of twists and slow fiddly corners. Also unlike Catalunya, the drivers...
