Has the Demise of Tiger Woods’ Professional Career Been Greatly Exaggerated?

Professionally speaking, it’s tough to root for Tiger Woods. He has won 14 major championships, and continually stares down opponents to his elusive crown week in, week out on the PGA Tour. But this year has been anything but spectacular. This summer, we waited for Woods to have his signature high-profile win…and waited…and waited, but it never came. His low point came at the WGC-Bridgestone... 

2010 Korean Grand Prix: Fernando Alonso Leads The Drivers World Championship

Fernando Alonso not only propelled himself to the top of the podium, but also to the top of the Drivers Championship in treacherous conditions at Yeongam. The Spaniard, who started the race in P3, had an arduous task in hand behind the two Red Bulls. However, Mark Webber spun out of the race in Lap 20 after losing control, taking Nico Rosberg along with him. This helped Sebastian Vettel take the lead... 

Fernando Alonso Survives To Win Wet and Wild Korean Grand Prix

Here’s a brilliant marketing slogan for those in charge of selling Formula One to the world: “For exciting racing—just add water.” That’s certainly what we got when the F1 gods decided that racing on a brand new and very green track in Korea wasn’t going to be difficult enough and decided to throw some heavy rain into the mix. After a late start under safety car... 

Fernando Alonso Takes Championship Lead with Win in Korea

For the past few months, it was mooted that the Korean Grand Prix wouldn’t go ahead. Barely two weeks ago, the 3.5-mile Korean International Circuit in Yeongam was a building site still waiting for the final layer of asphalt to be laid. Many questioned the infrastructure and the safety of the facility, as finishing touches were being made to the track just two days before the race. Once the... 

Hamilton’s Frustration: Should The Korean Grand Prix Have Started Sooner?

Who’s got spirit? Lewis Hamilton’s got spirit. Yet no one else seemed raring to go in South Korea as the rain lashed down causing race director Charlie Whiting to begin the first 15 laps behind a safety car, over the course of 80 minutes. This included two stand still periods as the cars formed on the starting grid waiting to be given orders. In the first foray into the drenched new track... 

Fernando Alonso’s Victory Gives the Korean Fans the Show They Deserve

At several stages this year it looked as if the Korean Grand Prix was never going to happen. First, heavy rain delayed building significantly, then the track was only declared safe on October 12, and finally despite qualifying being successfully completed, heavy rain on Sunday nearly dashed the hopes and dreams of thousands of eager Korean fans. Initially delayed for just 10 minutes it was decided...

Santos Laguna and Monterrey faced each other in the latest round of the Mexican League Games held at Nuevo Estadio Corona at Torreon in Mexico.

Recalling Ted Williams: The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived

Ted Williams may have been the greatest hitter who ever lived. Williams played for the Boston Red Sox from 1939 to 1960, and missed nearly five full seasons while serving his country in World War II and later the Korean War as a Marine fighter pilot. The Splendid Splinter hit 521 home runs, third all-time behind only Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx, and he retired after homering in his final at-bat in 1960.... 

Tiger Woods: Will He Bomb, Or Will He Find His Way Out of the Woods?

Honestly, has there ever been a more consternated athlete, a more thought-about, written-about, wondered-about, worried-about and gad-about sports star? A new book about Mickey Mantle, the most celebrated athlete of his day, combs through his sad history. The Mick, however, lived at a time-before-tweets when sportswriters lionized our sporting gods (and politicians and movie stars) but kept to...
