Shame On You: NBC to Show the Second Day of the Ryder Cup on Tape Delay

Really? The Ryder Cup is one of the most prestigious events in golf – possibly in all sports – yet NBC has decided that during the second day of play on Saturday that they are going to show it on a tape delay. And not once have I heard a good reason as to why its being done this way. ESPN is showing the first day live from 2:30am eastern until 1pm.  The singles matches on Sunday will... 

Furyk, Stricker, Cink and Even Woods Will Lead U.S. To Ryder Cup Victory

When it comes down to it, the old guys will prevail.  They may not win all of their individual contests, but they will lead in a fashion that will spark a win for the U.S. over the Euros in the Ryder Cup. I do not come by this prediction lightly. The U.S. is the perfect blend of youth and vets, machismo and poise, 340 yard drives and 15 foot one-putts. And, it is not just about how solid... 

Federer and Nadal, or Athens Versus Sparta: Domination of Two Heavyweights

“Federer’s camp was conquering the world. Federer had just won the Australian Open and was the new world number one. He feared no one. However, one day in Miami in 2004, they saw a man running towards there camp. He was completely exhausted. The marathon man fell to his knees and spoke the words that nobody had imagined, ‘the Spartan is coming!’ The Spartan of course was Rafael... 

WTA Tour: Heaven for the Elite, Hell for Rank-and-Files

When children start to become adults, and enter high school, parents often advise their children to set off into prestigious fields- medicine, law, journalism, to name a few.  And unless showing astounding athletic ability, a child is often steered away from professional sports.  But the few with enormous potential in sports, rarely step their foot upon tennis.  After all, tennis is... 

Ryder Cup Roster in Verse: These Are a Few of My Favorite Swings (Satire)

RYDER CUP ROSTER: THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE SWINGS   Long drives which start left yet fade to the green Three-irons struck well, a sound that goes “ping” Wedges that bite, then reverse with a zing These are a few of my favorite swings   Titleist crushed well, fairway Bermuda Eldrick the Tiger, what be his mood-a Can he get past his flings… and golf like a king These... 

Rafael Nadal: Will He Achieve The Non-Calendar Year Slam?

If you look at the Australian Open official site, you will find an article (by AAP) headlined “Nadal heads to Melbourne chasing history.” It starts off with this paragraph:  “Even if he never catches Roger Federer‘s record 16 career majors, Rafael Nadal will arrive at the 2011 Australian Open with the chance to achieve an amazing feat not even the Swiss master can boast... 

Give Rickie Fowler a Chance at Celtic Manor

  There are a lot of blistering opinions about Corey Pavin’s final captain’s pick of Rickie Fowler for the upcoming Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor in Wales. The rookie has yet to win on the PGA tour and only qualified for one major in 2010, but it is only a matter of time until the noisily-dressed product of Oklahoma State breaks through on the circuit.   His strongest finish of... 

Don Budge: Tennis’s Grand Slam Trailblazer

There are some names so ingrained in the story of tennis that they are like old friends. Such a one is Don Budge, whose record-setting career spanned the amateur and the professional ages. He was born in the First World War and hit his peak just as the Second World War was fermenting. He played against icons of tennis such as Fred Perry and Bill Tilden, and against modern greats such as Pancho Gonzalez. In... 

All Eyes On Australia: Rafael Nadal Closes in On History

What a difference a year makes. Exactly one year ago, Rafael Nadal had lost his figurative mojo. A painful, chronic knee injury had sidelined the Spaniard for weeks earlier in the summer, robbing him of his opportunity to defend his maiden Wimbledon title. Nadal watched from home as his rival cleaned up during the summer months, taking Nadal’s French Open title, Wimbledon title, and even his... 

Ryder Cup: Euros Heavy Favorites, But Will Welsh Bet On Them?

European soil means the Europe Ryder team should ride in with a win and the odds have been set like this: Europe – 188 United States+ 138 That’s not the question. The question is, since the match is at Celtic Manor at Newport, Wales, will the Welsh bet heavily on the locals. Or will they bet at all? In the words of Alaska Sarah “You betcha.” They will wager. The Welsh love to...
