Stronger Era, Better Player: Novak Djokovic and His Predecessor

Around two weeks ago, Novak Djokovic reached his second US Open final after defeating Roger Federer in a marathon semifinal match that went the full distance. This was an epic win for the young Serb against a man who was considered by many to be the prime favorite to win the title for the sixth time. This is a good opportunity to compare Djokovic to the big Russian player, Marat Safin, who... 

Ryder Cup 2010 Preview: Can the United States Hang Onto the Cup in Wales?

Can the FedExCup Be Saved?

Another FedExCup has come and gone. The PGA Tour’s TV partners have been shoving it down golf fans’ collective throats for months, showing every golfer’s rank in the standings at every event as though anyone cared, trying to get people revved up for the “playoffs,” and it still didn’t go over with golf fans. The FedExCup was supposed to be golf’s answer to NASCAR’s... 

European Ryder Cup Roster: Colin Montgomerie Adds Swagger, Enthusiasm As Captain

European Ryder Cup Captain Colin Montgomerie (47) has never lost a Ryder Cup singles match, and now he looks to bring a team of youth and experience to Celtic Manor to vie for the Ryder Cup Title.

Lewis Hamilton’s New Demeanour Makes Him An Even Bigger Formula One Threat

It would probably be something of an understatement to suggest that Lewis Hamilton hasn’t been enjoying the best of luck. Over the last few weeks, you get the feeling that if he had a pet duck, it would drown. Starting in Hungary with a gearbox problem, Hamilton has failed to finish three of his last four races. Only a terrific win in the treacherous conditions of the carnage-marred Belgian Grand...

Tour Championship: Fed-Ex Cup Champion Jim Furyk Flourishes

A three-foot putt equated to a $10 million dollar bonus. It may not make much sense, but in a game where people use a crooked stick to whack a tiny, white, dimpled ball, sometimes its better to just let it lie. With the flatstick in the hands of the unflappable Jim Furyk, a technician under even the most nerve-wrecking circumstances, there was no question he’d drain his final putt to win the...
