Just when the talk is all of Roger Federer’s decline, his failure to get beyond the quarters of two Grand Slams, his slip to his lowest ranking in six-and-a-half years—all the way to No. 3—he plays the tactical equivalent of that zippy off-forehand that leaves his opponent rooted to the spot. Just as his fans are gazing adoringly at photos of Roger, Mirka, and assorted family members...

As summer rolls on toward August, it is hard to take a look at the PGA Tour this year and determine who exactly is the player of the year. Ernie Els leads the FedEx Cup Standings, as he has most of the year. But he has been far from overwhelming, especially since his two wins earlier in the year. He has stayed on top more out of default than anything else. Steve Stricker has been Mr. Consistent. Justin...

As I stood on the first tee waiting for my playing partner to tee off, I suppressed a chuckle. The man, I observed, was quivering over his golf ball—and by St. Andrews standards, it wasn’t even that cold. But the fickle Scottish weather wasn’t the Texan’s problem. Like countless others before him, the guy had waited years for this experience and here it was: He was on the first...

Sebastian Vettel is a slow learner. For the second race in a row, he failed to capitalize on his pole position. He is too focused on stopping the driver in position two from getting to the corner instead of on driving his own race. Okay, he may not have been able to win the race given his fuel problems, but this is the fifth time he has failed to capitalize on his pole position this year. Worse still,...

Motorsports’ most famous team turned the sport of F1 into a circus, illegally telling Massa to let teammate Alonso pass. Former F1 team chief Eddie Jordan said, “It was unlawful and it was theft.

The sport of professional tennis has increased dramatically in popularity over the years, and I’m not too surprised why. It seems there has been a tennis boom in the number of extremely gorgeous athletes in the sport. I remember as a teen thinking that Chris Evert was pretty, and that she was a rare exception in the game. Now it appears she would be an average face of today’s game. So...

As the dust settles and the crowds clear from the Hockenheim circuit the reverberations from the latest scandal to hit rumble on. Today we witnessed a sport which, as usual, managed to throw up a surprise or two, this is what F1 is built and prides itself on. However, F1 is also sadly built on team orders which reared its ugly head today in, as always, controversial fashion. The first major surprise...

A Ferrari won the German Grand Prix on Sunday. There was only one problem: the wrong one did. And the “win” could cost F1 much more than its already failing reputation. Felipe Massa appeared to allow his fellow Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonzo pass him during Sunday’s race. FIA later confirmed this by penalizing Ferrari $100,000, after team orders were conveyed to Massa at the 49th...

This weekend saw Ferrari take an upturn in performance and proved that, if all runs smoothly, the Prancing Horse can be up there taking the fight to Red Bull. Alonso looked terrific through Friday and Saturday practice, and seemed a solid bet to take pole position. In what dry running the teams did manage, namely the third practice session on Saturday morning, the Ferrari’s long-run pace on the...
