The Rodriguez Brothers: The Original Mexican Formula 1 Prodigies

With Sergio Perez having an excellent start to the 2012 season for Sauber after his settling in rookie season in 2011, he is thought to be one of the most promising drivers on the grid. He is considered one of the most likely drivers to take over if Felipe Massa is sacked by Ferrari. It is clear he is a very highly thought of driver and his drive in Malaysia was... 

Valero Texas Open: Preview, Tee Times and More for Friday

The PGA Tour kicked off this week with the Valero Texas Open. It’s true the venue lacks the top players in the world, and big names like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will not be playing. However, the field is made of a more diverse range of tour players who all have an equal chance to rise and shine this week in the heart of Texas. After completion of the first round, Matt Every is the clubhouse... 

Bubba Golf Plus Bubba Gump Shrimp Equals an All Time Classic

We learned a valuable less in Augusta, Ga.  Golf is not archery. Golf is a game of angles, obstacles, and last week it was reduced to a pink driver and a 53-degree hook shot that spun the game on its axis.   There was a movie in the mid 1990s that sent the world stammering for words.  The movie was Forest Gump.  And, it reminded us that the ‘ordinary man’ is sometimes...

Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix:Is the Race Making Matters Worse in the Kingdom?

What are the chances that Bernie Ecclestone will come to his senses and give the order to pack up the Bahrain Grand Prix and go home? After spending the last two weeks telling anyone who would listen that there’s nothing going on in Bahrain and that the teams have nothing to worry about, we have the terrible situation of four members of the Force India team getting caught up in protests and exposed... 

Super Rugby 2012: 4 Teams Guaranteed to Lose in Round 9

Last week the Crusaders continued their upward trend and are finally beginning to send their ship towards a playoff berth. What’s more impressive is that they managed it against the solid yet not outstanding Stormers, who earned their first bonus point of the season. The Reds had a beautifully timed bye and will see two of their first-fives return from injury next week. I was right in three of... 

British American Racing in 1999: Debut Season That Was All Hype with No Results

Coming into Formula 1 as a brand new team can be very difficult, as Caterham, Marussia and HRT have demonstrated over the past few seasons. The sheer amount of money required to put together a Formula 1 team can stop teams in their tracks. Proposed teams have collapsed due to a lack of funds before they ever really began, including Mastercard Lola, USF1, DAMS and Dome. Each of these failed teams were... 

Can the French Topple Any of the Big Four at Roland Garros 2012?

Such is the dominance of the big four at the last three grand slams it would take a brave person to bet against one of them lifting the French Open trophy this year. Novak Djokovic is looking to complete the career grand slam and avenge his epic semifinal loss to Roger Federer last year while Rafael Nadal looks to uphold his incredible 45-1 career record at the tournament. Most would agree that Andy... 

Rafael Nadal: Hard Work or Talent, Which Is More Important?

Roger Federer, speaking to Spanish newspaper El Pais about Rafael Nadal‘s clay court ability, once said: “On clay you don’t need a volley or a serve. You just need legs, an incredible forehand and backhand, and to run after every ball. I’m not trying to take anything from Rafa: He has been successful in other surfaces as well. But on clay you can get away, you can be competitive...
