Steve Stricker and Other Golfers To Watch Out For at The Northern Trust Open

Last week, a lot of people were watching what came across the line from Europe. However, now that all of that is over, we turn our attention to what is another big week for the PGA Tour. Joining, along with several other golfers making their 2011 debut, is newcomer Louis Oosthuizen. Once again, Tiger will not be on this list. You’ve been warned. As is tradition, Riviera—the course that... 

Will Last Week’s Top 10 Finisher Win This Week at Riviera?

Top-10 finishes usually signal better things to come on the PGA TOUR. Look at Jonathan Byrd, who won his last event of 2010 with a dramatic playoff trump ace in Las Vegas. The next time he teed it up—granted, it was 2-1/2 months later—led to another playoff win in the season opening Hyundai Tournament of Champions at Kapalua on Maui. Here’s another example. After finishing 6th at... 

Dubai Update: Anna Chakvetadze Collapses On Court

At Wednesday’s Dubai Championships, World No. 51 Anna Chakvetadze collapsed on court while playing first seed Caroline Wozniacki and was forced to retire in the second to last match of the day. The match ended at 6-1, 3-5 when Chakvetadze had broken Wozniacki and began to sway then faint. It has been reported that she had previously suffered from stomach issues before the... 

Andy Roddick and the American Men Through in Memphis

Americans reigned at the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis on Tuesday.  Andy Roddick, Mike Russell, Sam Querrey, Mardy Fish, Robert Kendrick and James Blake came through with flying colors. The only Americans missing out of the lineup are the No. 6 seed John Isner, who faces wild card Juan Martin Del Potro tonight, and Ryan Sweeting, who lost to... 

Andre Agassi vs Pete Sampras: Who Is Really Better?

I read recently that Mats Wilander is interviewed in March’s edition of Tennis magazine. Mats Wilander is quoted as saying that Andre Agassi is on the same level as Pete Sampras because Agassi won major titles on all four surfaces even though Sampras won many more titles at Grand Slam level.  It got me thinking: can we definitely say who’s better?  I thought it would be interesting... 

Kubica Crashes Out Before The Season’s Even Begun: Heidfeld’s Last Chance?

We always want the offseason to deliver us some sort of excitment to keep us going until March, but what we certainly don’t want is news like that of Robert Kubica’s recent rally crash in Italy.  And a fairly horrific accident it was.  The young pole was not far from the start of the Ronde di Andora rally when his Skoda collided into a church and finished up with... 

Ronaldo: An Eulogy for My Football Hero

Before you begin to read this article, let me warn you that I am not your regular football fan. I will admit that I have fallen out of love with the club system of European Football. Frankly speaking, it has become a circus of too many frills and a few thrills here and there. But, I still love football at the international level and wait eagerly for tournaments like the World Cup and Euro Cup. And... 

Italian National Football Team Is Clearly Back on Path to the Top

Fresh off a 1-1 draw in Dortmund against the consistent German national team, La Nazionale has given its nation and its supporters plenty to look forward to. Yes, it may have only been a friendly, but this showing was the most encouraging performance by the Italian national team in over four years. Manager Cesare Prandelli deserves applause, as he is largely responsible for accomplishing the simple... 

Justine Henin’s Second Retirement Uncovered: What’s the Deal?

Justine Henin officially retired for the second time after her loss to Svetlana Kuznetsova at the Australian Open after incurring an elbow injury at Wimbledon that kept her out for the rest of the 2010 season. She had announced her retirement stating her injury as the main reason for leaving, and on Valentine’s Day, she further clarified during a press conference that, “For me, it’s... 

Tiger Woods Gobs and He Gets the Gobs Flapping in the U.K.

I think Tiger Woods is my new hero. Oh, sure, I’m fully aware of his sordid past and spent much of last year believing him to be beneath pond scum. I thought him to be a filthy bit of business who required a good hosing down. But then I figured, what the heck, if his ex-bride Elin can move on, so can I. And so it was that I found myself root, root, rooting for the great philanderer when he teed...
