Germany is one of the favorites to win Euro 2012, but it will have to escape the group of death in order to do so.

Novak Djokovic will not win his fourth straight Grand Slam title. He has advanced to the semifinals of the French Open, but it has been a struggle, and his game is not at a point where he can win this title. In order to beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Djokovic had to rally to win in five sets for the second straight match—6-1, 5-7, 5-7, 7-6 (8/6), 6-1. Djokovic had to fight off four match...

This week we are in Memphis, Tennessee at TPC Southwind for the FedEx St. Jude Classic. Harrison Frazar is the defending champion. The winner will take home $1,008,000 and 500 FedEx Cup points. TPC Southwind is not one of the easier tracks on the PGA Tour. Although I constantly harp on using accurate golfers, TPC Southwind puts an even bigger premium on accuracy than usual. We are going to be looking...

Occasionally, football legend Pele will say something about the sport he used to dominate that offers some candid and honest insight. Following Brazil’s 2-0 defeat to Mexico this past weekend, Pele shared some helpful insight with the press, and Neymar should take notice.

Tiger Woods has won three times in the past six months but his victory last Sunday afternoon at the Memorial Tournament was, in this writer’s opinion, Woods’ first real victory since 2009. Sure, he managed to defeat a field of 18 golfers at the Chevron World Challenge last December, but that was a field consisting of players bearing either signs of winter rust or pure exhaustion from the...

Survive and advance seems to be the name of the game for Novak Djokovic in the 2012 French Open, as he needed another late comeback, this time against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, to advance to the semifinals. Djokovic came out of the gate like a man on a mission, taking the first set, 6-1, and looking like the best player in the world. His momentum from that marathon match against Andreas Seppi in the...

Things are starting to look a little shaky for some of the so-called locks to advance deep into the tournament. I’m talking about Novak Djokovic and that Swiss guy, Roger. It took Djokovic five sets to beat the bigger, stronger, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who had four match points to beat Djoko. Federer narrowly escaped another loss to Juan Martin Del Potro, who defeated Fed in the U.S. Open Final back...

If Spain wants to repeat as European champions at Euro 2012 this summer then they must receive strong performances from several young players who will play a big role in their success such as Javi Martinez. Spain has injuries in several key areas that will force younger, inexperienced players into starting roles or will make other guys play out of position. Let’s look at three young Spanish players...
