Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal are synonymous with the acronym “G.O.A.T.”, or “Greatest of All Time”. These two players are in the elite inner circle of tennis, along with Pete Sampras, Rod Laver, and Bjorn Borg. Yet, among these five stellar players is the true G.O.A.T. It’s just that the population has not been able to determine one, and only one, player to...

One of the most frustrating daily occurrences for soccer fans in the U.S. is having to deal with the infamous “Soccer Haters.” You know who they are. They come in many shapes and sizes, usually wearing the same shirt from yesterday and a flat brim hat on their head. They often take shots at the game, aimlessly poking fun at the same weaknesses their own favorite sport likely contains. They...

Lewis Hamilton had a day he’d rather forget in Hungary.

On Saturday, July 30th, the preliminary World Cup draw took place in Rio de Janeiro. For some qualifying regions, this was a drawing for an early part of qualification. But in UEFA, it is the final draw. Nine groups were drawn from six pots. Eight of these groups have six teams while one group only has five teams. I thought it would be interesting to look at each team’s FIFA...

Steady golf by Webb Simpson and Brendan de Jonge have them both tied for the lead at seven-under-par heading into the weekend at the Greenbrier Classic. de Jonge is a fan favorite of sorts having played his collegiate golf not too far from the Greenbrier at Virginia Tech. Hearing cheers from the Hokie Nation seem to elevate de Jonge’s game on his way to firing a second round score of three-under-par...

I wasn’t going to talk much about the disgusting deal that the BBC has done with it’s Formula One rights for the United Kingdom. But, after yet another pathetic qualifying session and coverage that failed to mention the new deal once, I’ve simply had enough. Formula One has been my sporting life since I was about six or seven years old, but as I’ve grown older I feel I have...

By now, I am sure you have all heard the news that Tiger Woods will make his return to competitive golf this coming week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Logically, the Bridgestone Invitational is an excellent place for Tiger to make his return. He has won on the Firestone course on seven occasions. He clearly knows how to play well on the course, and feels comfortable. So, it should come...

Pick one. The amateurs are coming. And what what was once a wide margin between amateur and professional golf is moving closer. The distance...
