Will Back To Basics Get Tiger Out of the Woods?

Things are different now. Corey Pavin says that Tiger is not a shoe-in for the Ryder Cup, Jack Nicklaus says Tiger may not break his major record, and Tiger’s recent slew of injuries have created a stir of rumors as to whether his body can keep up with his pace. Losing faith in Tiger has become too easy. His transgressions permanently stained his idealized image. Months have passed, but no one... 

Venus Williams French Open: Her Top 10 Revealing Outfits

Please, keep on talking about Venus’ racy French Open outfits. Every time a pundit scoffs, another cash register rings cha-ching. Williams started a fashion line in 2007 called EveVen. If you look at most of her most recent outfits, you’ll see the logo mid-chest. That includes the lingerie ditty that she wore for the second straight match Wednesday in Paris. While we’ve come to know... 

French Open 2010: French Sporting Officials Strike Again

This appears to be a clear case of “home-cooking” by the French Open officials in this match. With every other match already halted due to darkness, French Open officials forced Fognini to continue playing, at Monfils request, for 16 minutes after sunset in Paris. Monfils was clearly hurting, and it seemed as though he didn’t think that he would be able to go the next day. He wanted... 

Do You Take Tiger Woods On Your Fantasy Golf Team?

Tiger Woods will defend at the Memorial next week. Of course, the big question will be: Can he win? He’ll get you points in fantasy golf 99 percent of the time. But can he give you those leader points? And what about that coveted winner bonus? I would take Tiger Woods as my A-player any time he tees it up. With the next event at Jack Nicklaus’ place, solid play from Tiger is even more of... 

Madrid Ball Girls Are the Hottest Tennis Helpers Ever

In 2004, the organizers of the Madrid Masters Series event (now called the Madua Madrilena Madrid Open) caused quite a stir when they replaced the traditional children and teenagers with fashion models as ball girls. Opinions and comments abounded about the controversial decision. A Spanish left wing politician derided the decision as sexist and frivolous. Some fans criticized the decision because... 

Formula One Heading To Texas from 2012

On the back of recent speculation over a return to the United States came an historic announcement that F1 will indeed return. The F1 circus, last seen held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana, will now be held in Austin, Texas, in a 10-year deal commencing in 2012. The official statement was put out just days before the Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul with F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone already... 

2010 FIFA World Cup: Why Lukas Podolski Has To Play a Crucial Role for Germany

Germany are always a dangerous proposition in the World Cup. In 2006, Germany’s good showings were rewarded with a third spot, but they obviously must have been disappointed at not winning the tournament with it being played in their own country. The striking duo of Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski did remarkably well, with Klose winning the Golden Boot and Podolski, along with a host of players,...

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal: The Top 10 Milestones at Roland Garros

The talk has all been of their rivalry, of the 21 matches they have played, of the 17 finals they have contested, of the balance of power on clay and on grass, and of the hopes for a fourth final at Roland Garros. The debates have raged about whether Roger Federer, though now with a French title to his name, can ever hope to beat Rafael Nadal in the crucible of Philippe Chatrier. Until their careers... 

Rafael Nadal: Repeat of 2008 in Order?

It’s a common occurrence in the game of tennis. Blowing things out of proportion, that is.  And I admit I have been at fault a time or two. When a player slips out of form, succumbs to injury, posts a few bad results, is absent from the tour for any extended period of time, or just simply is out-of-character, everything seems to hit the fan. Past examples include those who wrote...
