“Three Times the Lady”: Kim Clijsters Tops Tennis Power Rankings

It seems that after the last slam of the year in New York City, the tennis world slows down a bit for the top-ranked women. There are a few International Tournaments going on now but most of the top 20 players will not pick up a racket in competition until Tokyo, the China Open in Beijing, or later at the Kremlin Cup in Moscow.   Serena Williams is still the No. 1 ranked player in the world, although... 

Silly Season: Massa to Sauber

I admit it, I love silly season rumors. Sure, they aren’t usually worth the paper they’re reported on, but they do provide for some interesting discussion and make a sometimes boring lull in the news a little more entertaining. So last week, the big silly season rumor was Robert Kubica taking Massa’s seat at Ferrari and Massa taking Kubica’s seat at Renault in a tighty... 

FedEx Cup Playoffs: Stop the Complaining

Two weeks ago at the BMW Championship, 70 men competed for $7.5 million purse with no cut. DJ Trahan finished in last place at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club, 26 strokes off the lead, and earned $15,000.

Ryder Cup 2010: Do the Players Really Care?

When you think of Mark Calcavecchia, you think, “Yeah, he’s a tough guy.”  But when he lost a match in the 1991 Ryder Cup, he went to the beach at Kiawah Island and cried.  When you think of Fred Couples, you think, “Way too laid back to worry about anything.”  But when he lost a meaningful point in the 1989 Ryder Cup, he was choking back tears. So no matter... 

Top 10 Weapons In Tennis

If real life were a video game, these are the top 10 weapons you would want for your character.

PGA Players Championship: Matt Kuchar vs. Dustin Johnson, Who Wins?

Both Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson are among my final golf fantasy picks this season along with Phil Mickelson and Charley Hoffman. All four of these players had fine seasons and Kuchar is my pick to win the Fed Ex Cup in the PGA this season. He has the upper hand at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta Georgia where he has many rounds under his belt. It’s my guess that any player with a third win...

My question is: Why not extend it further? Don’t get me wrong, I like the fact that they have extended it an extra hour.  But I want more. It took years...
