The teams, including those of Kenya, Uganda and Congo, had counted on money earned during the tournament to finance their preparations for next year’s Africa Cup. The Nile Basin tournament was funded by the Egyptian oil... 

PGA Merchandise Show 2011: A Lot Of Good Stuff and "That Thing"

The PGA Merchandise Show was its usual, overwhelming self last week in Orlando. Got a good look at that thing that’s not like the other things—you know, the R11 driver—but there was so very much there, with 1,000 exhibitors that ranged from the marketing monster that is TaylorMade-Adidas to the guy who had a small table and his golf gloves that have a pouch on the inside to insert... 

Rafael Nadal: I Am Forced To Give Up My Dream

After being eliminated from the 2011 Australian Open with an injury, Rafael Nadal has given up on his dream of winning all four grand slams in a single year. After becoming the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to win the Wimbledon, French Open and US Open singles championships in one year, Rafael Nadal was aiming to make 2011 a year to remember by winning all four grand slams in one year. In 2010,... 

Tiger Woods: Dear Mr. Woods, Take the Rest of the Year Off…Please

Dear Tiger, I really thought this year was going to be different.  Newly single, new bachelor pad, new swing.  Buddhist, balanced, well-behaved. Not exactly. You’re a mess out there.  One Bleacher Report writer mentioned a rumor of you playing yourself in the sequel to Despicable Me.  If not, how about starring in Anger Management 2?   Seriously, do everyone a favor and... 

Oscar Buzz: Power Ranking the 15 Best Golf Movies of All Time

As award season comes through, there is of course not too many sports movies. However, that doesn’t mean golf hasn’t had its fair share of successes on the big screen. There have been plenty of hits that are based in such a long standing game. Old to new, there have been many movies produced about the trials and tribulations of golf. So which movies make the cut is the only question that... 

Tiger Woods: ‘Despicable He’ Tanked It At Torrey

There’s no truth to the rumor that Tiger Woods will play himself in a sequel to the movie Despicable Me. But there is truth to the fact that Woods tanked it at Torrey last Sunday, and his playing partner, Brendan Steele, agrees. Steele, a rookie on the PGA Tour, was excited about playing for the first time with Woods, as you might expect. Steele was elated by the fact that Woods was nice to him,... 

Rafael Nadal Faces Leg Injury From Australian Open Match

During the 2011 Australian Open, there was something noticeably off about World No.1 Rafael Nadal. News first came out that the top player was suffering from a virus similar to the fever he battled during the Qatar Open, where he lost to Nikolay Davydenko. Just released today from Mallorca, Spain, it seems that the real issue facing Nadal was a torn muscle in his right leg. Posted on his... 

The 2011 Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale 6-Pack

It’s an adage that may be as old as the hills but will always ring true. “Drive for show and putt for dough…”   Just ask last week’s winner Bubba Watson. He demonstrably schooled last week’s field at Torrey Pines on exactly what that means by hitting his classic sweeping hooks and slicing drives that seemingly went on for miles. I think his birdie putt on the... 

Serena, Justine, Venus and Kim: Time for a Generation Re-Evaluation

With Kim Clijsters’ win over Li Na in the final of the Australian open, she has proven herself as one of the greats of this generation. And she has shaken up the pecking order of the greats of this generation Surpassing Serena Williams is still out of the question for someone with just four majors, so that leaves the next two greats of this generation, Venus Williams and Justine Henin. Realistically,... 

Ryan Harrison: Can He Become the Next Andy Roddick of U.S. Tennis?

Lost in the news of Novak Djokovic winning the 2011 Australian Open—and rightfully so—was what happened at the ATP’s Honolulu Challenger tournament in Hawaii this past weekend. There, 18-year-old American Ryan Harrison won the first significant title of his career. It comes 10 years after another player from the U.S. did the same on his way to a Hall of Fame career (which some might...
