6 of the Finest Reasons to Play Golf

Even after the “I am Tiger Woods” democratization of the sport in the late 90’s, and with the fact that 90 percent of golf is played on public or semi-public courses, golf still has an undeserved bad name as an idle pastime of the leisure class.

Mexico vs. USA: Biggest Takeaways from Historic US Win

Any time the United States and Mexico compete in soccer, there is more on the line than just a win or a loss.

Why England’s Friendly Win over Italy Was an Important Test of Their Credentials

This was about as low-key as things get for England (especially in a game against Italy).
