Wyndham Championship 2012: Why Webb Simpson Will Win Back-to-Back Titles

Webb Simpson’s first career PGA Tour win came last year at the Wyndham Championship, and he’s in great position to win it for the second straight year. Simpson won in Greensboro, North Carolina after finishing 18-under par and three strokes ahead of George McNeill, who finished in second place. Simpson didn’t start so hot—sitting at three-over par through the first four holes—but... 

Does Tiger Woods Need a Rivalry with Rory McIlroy to Regain Killer Instinct?

Professional golf has been clamoring for a bona fide rival for Tiger Woods since he turned pro in 1996, but up until recently, there wasn’t enough competition to make any sense of it.

International Football: Ranking Every National Team After Friendlies

It’s time for a new ranking. In case you missed it, I began creating a new mathematical ranking system for international football teams earlier this month. The idea came from some frustration at the existing FIFA rankings, whose results are constantly defying logic. In calculating these rankings, I take each match from the past four years and grade each team on their performance. In doing so,... 

6 Reasons Rory McIlroy Will Catch Jack Nicklaus’ Majors Record

In both of his major victories, Rory McIlroy blew away the field. He won by eight strokes in both his 2011 U.S. Open and 2012 PGA Championship victories.

McIlroy has been questioned for having the killer instinct. It’s been asked if he just views...

Mexico vs. USA: What Upset Means for United States Going Forward

The United States’ men’s national team’s 1-0 victory over Mexico is extremely important to the team’s confidence moving forward.  The match was a friendly, and the loss will not be overly worrisome for the Mexicans. However, the game was played at Estadio Azteca, where the United States had previously not won a match in 24 attempts, only coming away with one draw.  The... 

United States Soccer: After Win over Mexico, What’s Next for USMNT?

It’s not like that was unexpected, though. The 34-year-old lives in Raleigh and went to school...
