A sampling from the articulate geniuses. What they said, what they really meant and what they definitely didn’t. Quote of the day: To be pleased with one’s...

As anticipated, Tiger Woods was selected to participate in the Ryder Cup. But I am curious to know if this was the right decision made by Corey Pavin. It was almost impossible to leave Tiger behind, abandoning the world’s greatest golfer, even if his wonderful career is tarnished.

There are plenty of beautiful women on the WTA tour. The problem is that about 99 percent of them haven’t won the U.S. Open, so compiling this list was a bit of a challenge.

England have comfortably beaten Switzerland 3-1 in Basel in their second game of Group G. The boys were hoping to prove that the 4-0 thrashing of Bulgaria was not a one off. England were off from the start. It was only a few minutes into the game when Defoe headed a cross just win of the post. The Three Lions kept the momentum going and within 5 minutes of the opening chance they were in...

Thankfully, Corey Pavin‘s Ryder Cup press conference looked nothing like the Lebron James “Decision.” Pavin revealed his four Captain’s picks for the 2010 Ryder Cup Team– Tiger Woods, Stewart Cink, Zach Johnson, and wild-card Rickie Fowler– who will join the other exempt eight players in Wales where they will compete October 1-3. While the golf world has eagerly...
