Rugby: Playing Future in Christchurch in Doubt after Earthquake Shakes City

“A very dark day.” That was how New Zealand Prime Minister John Key summed up the events of the past 48 hours in New Zealand. At 12:51pm on February 22 a magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck the proud rugby city of Christchurch, leaving the playing future of the Crusaders and the games due to be hosted by the city in the upcoming Rugby World Cup shrouded in uncertainty. Although rugby is the... 

Tiger Woods & Elite Eight Predictions at the World Golf Championships-Accenture

This week is one of my favorite weeks of golf. Getting to see match play. Nobody can deny how much more fun it is to watch or to play it—especially for a pro. I honestly wish this was one of two or three match play events, but unfortunately, field size and cuts make it a more complicated thing. But anyway, imagine this: you can take a driver and swing at it as hard as you want, not worrying because... 

Egyptian Soccer Stadiums Emerge as Venue for Sexual Harassment

A Los Angeles Times report identifies soccer stadiums as a prime venue in Egypt for sexual harassment. By implication, the article revives the question of whether soccer fans who played an important role in the protests that earlier this month swept President Hosni Mubarak from power, may also have been responsible for a brutal sexual assault on an American journalist. This month’s brutal sexual... 

Tiger Woods: How Far Will He Go at Accenture Match Play Tourney?

It’s 64 players, just like the NCAA’s 64 teams. But no wildcards. It’s golf, so the ball is smaller and so is the basket.  Instead of 60 minutes and OTs, it’s 18 holes and OTs, at least for the first five rounds.  Instead of two-three weeks, it’s compressed into one.  Instead of national college rivalries, it’s world rivalries.  Instead... 

PGA Tour Week 7: Aaron Baddeley Is Back With a Win at Riviera CC

Move over 20-somethings with three or more PGA Tour wins…there’s an “old guy” that joined the club on Sunday! Aaron Baddeley, only 25 days short of his 30th birthday, won the Northern Trust Open at the famed Riviera CC for his third PGA TOUR victory. There is a “young-gun” winning six-some now—Camilo Villegas, Hunter Mahan, Sean O’Hair, Dustin Johnson,... 

Super Rugby 2011: Round 1 Was Not That Flashy, What Does Round 2 Hold?

Super Rugby 2011 opened to much fanfare last weekend, with a lot of promise: Friday night football, more country rivalry than ever before, and the debut of a new Super Rugby franchise—the Melbourne Rebels.  After all the fireworks have settled—and reflecting on each game played in Round—it is hard to deny that, for the most part, Round 1 failed to deliver on the hype. The first... 

February Madness! A Look at Some Possible Matches in The Accenture Match Play

Bracket fever! I’m in the grips of bracket fever! A lot of people love betting on the brackets and I am one of them. I can’t wait for some of the intriguing match-ups. From what I understand, there is some other tournament that is going on in March. I remember reading about it somewhere, but I can’t remember what’s going on. The “bracketology” I’m talking about... 

The 2011 Accenture Match Play Championship Six-Pack

I apologize in advance for the weakness of this article. I will be doing a full Mayakoba Classic Six-pack in a while, and you will find my starting Yahoo fantasy lineup and results there. It’s match play this week at Dove Mountain, and the very best players in the world are there. Before telling you my six pack to bet on, I thought I would do a quick run-through of my brackets. BOBBY JONES This... 

Dubai 500: Federer and Djokovic Lead Injury-Stricken Field Into Second Round

Dubai did at least open the week with one piece of good news. The richest 500 in the calendar had won the ATP 500 award for the seventh time in eight years: the third year in a row. That may have gone some way to healing the wounds opened by the absence of two of its biggest names, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray. It may also have reduced the stress of seeing world No. 4 Robin Soderling steal the headlines...
