Six Nations Rugby And The Super Bowl: More In Common Than It Seems

You might be forgiven for thinking—were you American—that the entire sporting world pauses on its axis in awed silence as the brouhaha that is the Super Bowl sweeps towards NFL Championship Sunday. The hype surrounding this annual-holiday event began months ago: Fox had sold every one of its £3 million advertising slots by last October. With an expected audience of around 150 million... 

Tennis: Women Being Paid The Same As Men In Grand Slams Fair?

The great debate of whether women tennis players should get paid as much as men tennis players has been happening for years. And judging by all the questionnaires and polls on Google, most people think women should get paid less. I tend to agree. On the tennis ATP tour, it is fair that women get paid the same amount of money as men for winning their final matches because they both have to play the... 

Andy Murray: Trapped In a Shell Of His Own Creation

Hopefully this does not need much reaffirming. Andy Murray is not Tim Henman; it has been many a rally since the Scot grasped one of the most poisonous batons in tennis, flew in the face of one-fortnight-a-year flag-waving patriotism, prefaced his first name with the words “Come On” and surpassed his compatriot in titles, major finals (3-0 Murray and counting) and talent. And... 

RBS Six Nations: English Win Leaves Welsh Scratching Their Heads

The 2011 Six Nations got off to a flying start last night with England’s 26-19 win over Wales at the Millennium Stadium. Once the weekend dust settles there will be much to analyze for both teams ahead of their respective games next weekend. For England, this was the solid start they needed to have any realistic hope of challenging Ireland and defending champions France; a victory in Cardiff... 

Proton and the Lotus Heritage: Can They Truly Lay Claim to It?

I am sure that Proton make very fine cars. Their advertising says they do. Not that I would buy one, or wish to be seen dead in one. Actually, I don’t know if they make hearses. My antipathy to Proton is based entirely on their venture into F1. Having purchased the last of Renault’s shares in the Renault F1 team, Proton have re-branded it as Lotus-Renault. There are court hearings in progress... 

Nasri, Walcott, Pato and More: Players Who Were Snubbed From The World Cup

Remember when all the World Cup rosters were announced?  Several players were omitted for a multitude of reasons.  Raúl, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ronaldinho, Javier Zanetti, Esteban Cambiasso, Alexandre Pato, Samir Nasri, Anderson, Theo Walcott, Adam Johnson, João Moutinho and Karim Benzema are just a few of the big names that were excluded from their national teams last summer. Whether... 

World Number One? Why Golf Currently Has No Top Player

The woes of golf’s best are often a topic of discussion. Everyone’s target: Tiger Woods. However, if you were to take a closer look, it is not only the most heralded player of his time who is struggling currently.  However, the media in the United States seems to be oblivious to what is going on across the pond in European Tour action. The current world’s best and second best... 

Men’s Tennis Rankings: Novak Djokovic Breaks Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer Stranglehold

It lasts just a fortnight. But the first Major of the year, the Australian Open, has shown just how much water can flow under the bridge in two short weeks. With the draws made, the pundits placed their bets, the journos made their predictions and the fans prepared their banners. Everyone had a view on who would take to the court on the final day. There were column inches on whether home favourite... 

RBS 6 Nations Rugby 2011: England Draw First Blood with Win over Wales

England have gotten their 2011 Six Nations campaign off to a good start with a 26-19 win over Wales in Cardiff. Chris Ashton touched down twice for the men in white while the radar accurate boots of Toby Flood and Jonny Wilkinson saw that England maintained the lead for almost the whole game and were deserved winners over a Welsh side that rarely threatened the English defence. Despite this, it was... 

The Topsy-Turvy World of Golf

Remember when Tiger Woods dominated the world of golf? Everything seemed to be so much in order. Woods was No. 1 in the world. Mickelson was a distant second and the United States had won back the Ryder Cup at Valhalla. America won the President’s Cup at San Francisco’s historic Harding Park with Fred Couples at the helm. All seemed to be right in the world of golf heading into 2010, literally...
