Roger Federer: Dubai Loss Raises Questions About Decline in His Game

It was painful – again – for me to watch Roger Federer lose another tournament to Novak Djokovic this morning. Djokovic trounced Federer 6-3, 6-3 in the Dubai Tennis Championships and the match didn’t seem close most of the time.

European Golfers: Where Have the Rules of Trash-Talking Gone?

There are no formal rules when it comes to trash talking, but if there were, the first rule would undoubtedly be that no athlete can talk the talk until they can walk the walk. Based on the amount of gibberish coming out of the mouths of Lee Westwood, Rory McIlory and Ian Poulter—directed mostly towards Tiger Woods and the poor state of his game—you’d think that these three men have...
