Wimbledon 2010: John Isner vs Nicolas Mahut—Most Unbreakable Record In Sports?

For a long time, I’ve thought that Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak was the one record in major sporting history that would never be broken.  But in the wake of the epic John Isner vs Nicolas Mahut tennis match (6-4, 3-6, 7-6, 6-7, 70-68) that ended today, I think we have a new leader in the clubhouse for this category.  I can say with 99.99 percent confidence that we will... 

Wimbledon Schedule: Both John Isner and Andy Roddick Featured on Day 5

Just one day after his wild 70-68 fifth set win, John Isner will be back out on court on what should be an action packed fifth day in London.  He will be taking on Thiemo De Bakker from the Netherlands. The match will start around 7:10 a.m. EST. Here is the great thing, De Bakker is a powerful player with a hard serve. Should the match venture into a fifth set, well than anything can happen. Andy... 

2010 FIFA World Cup: Germans Rebuild, Only to Face More Injuries vs. ENG

Just when it appeared that Joachim Loew and his young, talented German squad had found a winning formula despite being plagued by injuries leading up to the World Cup, more doubt encircles the German camp in South Africa.

Wimbledon 2010: Which Records Still Remain Intact After Isner-Mahut?

Some may have wished that the Isner-Mahut battle would continue forever. But alas it was to end on day three, with various records not only beaten but shattered in the process. The number of games played, the duration of the entire match and its final set, as well as the number of aces both individually and combined were statistics wiped and reset by the two big servers. If Isner were to perform at... 

Travelers Championship: Fantasy Golf Update, Low Scoring Day One

The last person to win consecutive majors not named Tiger Woods leads the Travelers on Thursday with a very nice six under par. However, Padraig Harrington is tied with two other players, Matthew Googin and Charlie Wi, also at minus six for the first day of competition. In Yahoo Fantasy Golf this week, I selected Bill Haas, who has been playing well. My A-player selection is currently plus one with... 

Wimbledon 2010: Nadal Down Two Sets To One Early, Federer Repeat?

Robin Haase has come out firing early on Rafa Nadal. Haase has over 20 aces already and is bullying Nadal around the court. Haase appears to have fallen and hurt himself. Since the fall, Nadal has won almost every point. Haase has seemed to given up on the fourth set. The score is currently 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, 0-4, in Haase’s favour, but Nadal is dominating the fourth set and it appears he will make... 

Upset Alert On Red As Robin Hasse and Rafael Nadal Play in Fifth Set.

2:18: Nadal wins. Somewhat dissapointing. However, this match is just another example of how the tope players are struggling. Great effort from Hasse. Thanks for joining!  2:17: After a Hasse hold, Nadal has three match points.  2:13: A detrimental hold for Nadal. Well at least it is detrimental for Hasse, who is down 5-2, (one break). 2:11: Hasse desperately needs some momentum. He holds... 

John Isner-Nicolas Mahut, Not Landon Donovan, Should Be June 23’s Lasting Memory

I’ve been pushing for soccer to become America’s fifth sport since my team won Northern Virginia’s youth league bottom division championship in fifth grade (46th place overall, baby!). So Landon Donovan’s heroics yesterday morning would easily be in the top five sports games of my life that I’ve viewed, and certainly the greatest soccer game as far as American interest...
