Grigor Dimitrov: A Teenager’s Pursuit of the Federer Dream

It may not seem the most auspicious of moments to appraise the slim, 6-foot-2 Bulgarian standing at No. 69 in the rankings. Grigor Dimitrov’s match results this year have been, it is true, far from eye-opening—as his 4-8 win-loss record proves. He fell in the first round of the Dubai 500 in a shower of errors in 64 minutes, though he entered the tournament as a qualifier and lost to a man... 

2010/2011 Heineken Cup SemiFinal Preview: Leinster Vs. Toulouse

With due respect to the other semifinal, the clash between the reigning and four-time champions Toulouse, and the winners in 2009 Leinster, represents the match between two of the current powerhouses of the European stage. French giants Toulouse are aiming for an unprecedented fifth European title, and are potentially heading for an 18th French domestic crown, currently top of the table in this... 

PGA Tour Rules Change: Armchair Whistleblowers Need to Get a Life

On Masters Thursday a few weeks ago, the USGA and the R&A (golf’s governing bodies) snuck a rule change by the golf world that was long overdue. Golf considers itself a “gentleperson’s” (at TwoGuysTalkingSports we are non-discriminatory) game, and the individual players are tasked with the ethical duty (my law school friends are vomiting right now) to call penalties on themselves... 

2010/2011 Heineken Cup Semi-Final Preview: Northampton V Perpignan

The Northampton Saints, winners of the Heineken Cup in 2000, will meet the only team left in the 2010/2011 tournament not to have claimed Europe’s most prestigous domestic title. Perpignan, French champions in 2009 and seven-times the winner of the Top 14, did make it to a H-Cup final in 2003 but lost to old rivals Toulouse 22-17. The Saints, in some pundit’s eyes the best English... 

Avnet LPGA Classic: First Round Leaders Struggle and Give Way to Low Scores

The dual overnight leaders Song-Hee Kim and Grace Park both shot four-under 67’s in the first round of the 2011 Avnet LPGA Classic. My how the leader board has changed in just an afternoon of golf here at the Crossing Course at Magnolia Grove in Mobile, Ala. Park had the rougher of the afternoons today as she shot a three-over round of 75 to drop her into a tie for 16th place heading into... 

Nadal vs. Djokovic: Madrid, Rome and Paris Key for No. 1 Battle Race

The world No. 1 battle between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic could take a crucial turn by the end of the clay court season. We might have clear answers no later than next week as important matters will kick off at the Mutua Madrid Open with Nadal, Djokovic and Federer leading the field. Madrid is important because it is the first time since Miami that both Rafa and Nole could face on the Spaniard’s... 

Zurich Classic: Hard Chargers Still Chasing Bubba Watson in the Big Easy

The overnight leader, Bubba Watson, had some stiff competition today down in New Orleans at the Zurich Classic. Josh Teater came out of the gates firing birdie after birdie to eventually chase down and pass Watson; for a while, for the solo lead in round two. Teater came out and it seemed he could do no wrong early this afternoon. He had five birdies on the front nine to make the turn at 31, five-under... 

Tiger Woods: Why He Doesn’t Play, Or Care What You Think About It

Tiger Woods suffered an injury three weeks ago at Augusta on the 17th hole in the third round. According to sources it’s a level one, mild sprain on the same left knee that has nagged him throughout his illustrious career. Surprisingly Tiger’s usual theatrics of showing that he’s in pain weren’t on display as he was fist-pumping birdie putts on the first nine at Augusta the... 

Golf News: Former MLB Star John Smoltz Gets Roughed Up at South Georgia Classic

John Smoltz found out the hard way that when you’re getting shellacked in golf, there’s no call to the bullpen. The former ace reliever for the Braves started his first round at the South Georgia Classic like gangbusters on Thursday. Smoltzy went par, par birdie at the incredibly long 7,800-yard Kinderlou Golf Club, the site of this week’s stop on the Nationwide. He’s one-under... 

18-Month-Old Toddler Football Genius Baerke Van Der Meij Signs to Dutch Team VVV

Dutch first division club VVV-Venlo have signed an 18-month-old toddler prodigy after he become an Internet sensation. Baerke van der Meij was filmed by his father chipping three balls into a box at his home in Venlo. The toddler was then invited for a trial at VVV, the same club his grandfather once played for, and impressed them enough to earn a 10-year initial contract. “Baerke did his best...
