Orange on Sunday didn’t work real well for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in 1976 and 1977. Those loveable losers went 0-26 wearing orange on Sundays. Rickie Fowler might want to rethink this orangesicle theme of his on Sundays at PGA Tour events. He might want to ditch the orange because he’s simply melting like a popsicle on a hot summer day. The kid who made his reputation with one...

With a lack of pace and organisational prowess that put them to shame at the start of the current season, it’s a wonder what Hispania Racing are still doing within the sport of Formula 1. Even more confusing was their decision to promote the uninspiring and unremarkable Narain Karthikeyan back into the sport. This was a driver who hardly set the time sheets alight and deservedly exited the sport...

The 2011 version of the Copa America kicked off on Friday, July 1st with a match facing off what is presumably one of the stronger sides on the continent, against one of the weakest. The outcome came as a surprise to nearly everyone. Argentina have been heralded as candidates to win this cup and not without reason; they are the host nation and happen to be fielding “one of the greatest...

In the build-up to this past weekend’s semi-finals, all the talk was about how close these encounters would be, and how any of the teams could effectively go through. That couldn’t have been further from the truth as the Reds (30-13) and Crusaders (29-10) both put in performances worthy of being Champions. The Reds somewhat unsurprisingly dismantled the Blues in another masterclass...

The game is won up front. At least that is how the old adage goes. And this was never more clear than in the Crusaders semifinal against the Stormers last night, as the Crusaders literally smashed up a confident Stormers side en-route to their tenth Super Rugby final. The front row of Wyatt Crockett, Corey Flynn and Owen Franks was key in ensuring that the Crusaders got good ball all game, giving them...

Petra Kvitova defeated Maria Sharapova 6-3, 6-4 to win Wimbledon Saturday, and the most impressive part was it was her first appearance in a Grand Slam final. The 21-year-old from the Czech Republic showed no signs of nerves in the match even though she was broken three times, including in the opening game. She took advantage of six double faults from the heavily favored Sharapova, and when she...

The Wimbledon concludes this Sunday and lo and behold Rafa Nadal is in the final match. Win or lose, what Nadal has accomplished in his career has been impressive. That might even be an understatement. He may not be No. 1 in the world anymore, but he definitely is the most dominant player in the game today. A victory on Sunday will exemplify this notion even further. Here are ten reasons why...

Novak Djokovic will play in the first Wimbledon final of his career Sunday and will fight Rafael Nadal for the third Grand Slam title of his career. Nole is fighting for his first Wimbledon title, but he’s already nabbed another important first in his career. Come Monday, Novak will be the No. 1 player in the world; a just reward for his stellar play this year that has seen him capture the Australian...

At first critics thought he could win only on clay. Then, they thought he was done after his knee surgery. Some warned that his rough and tumble playing will lead to too much wear and tear on his body. Nadal has done something only seven other men have done in tennis: win the career grand slam (the players have won all four grand slams in their career, the French Open, US Open, Wimbledon and the Australian...
