Despite the fact that Spanish tennis great Rafael Nadal is only 26 years old, there have been serious questions about how long he can play on the knees that have given him so much trouble so early in his career. If the sport’s biggest name can be patient and take the time to get back to 100 percent health after suffering from tendinitis in his knee, there is no question that he can return to...

Too fast, too strong, too clinical and just too good. That sums up the All Blacks’ win over a spirited Argentina side, as they bagged seven tries to run in 54-15 winners in La Plata. They finally showed the form they’ve been looking for all season, gaining dominance up front, holding their passes and taking their chances to deliver their best performance of the Rugby Championship. Try as...

It was another brutal performance that saw the Springboks salvage some pride and claim a 31-8 win over the Wallabies in Pretoria. The Springboks dominated every facet of the game, as they proved far too good for the Australians, ensuring they never really fired a shot. And it could have been so much more had the Springboks’ kickers’ radar been more accurate. Sixteen points went begging...

Tiger Woods hasn’t necessarily had a bad year in 2012 after winning three tournaments, but one can certainly make the case that it’s been disappointing since the golf legend failed to win a major. Even if the United States can pull off a victory against Europe in the Ryder Cup, it won’t change a single thing about the current state of Woods’ career, and the negative...

Tiger Woods didn’t participate in Saturday’s morning session at the Ryder Cup, but that didn’t stop the United States from grabbing a 10-6 lead heading into Sunday’s action. Woods did return for the afternoon session with his partner Steve Stricker, but that didn’t help either. The American pair lost their third straight match, 1-up, to Sergio Garcia and Luke Donald. But...

The United States team spent the first two days of the 2012 Ryder Cup matches at Medinah Country Club building a big lead. Now, in a format they are typically strong in—the Sunday singles matches—the U.S. squad is poised to win for only the third time since 1995 if they can capture four (and a half) of the 12 remaining games. Sure, it seems like a probable enough occurrence. There have...

The United States Men’s National Team still has a long haul before the 2014 World Cup in Brazil with two do-or-die qualifiers next month against Antigua and Barbuda and Guatemala. If the U.S. passes those tests, they will move on to the CONCACAF hexagonal, with the top three teams from that round automatically advancing to the World Cup. Here is a look at the toughest qualifiers the U.S. has...

Tiger Woods has played in three of four matches of the 2012 Ryder Cup and has yet to earn a point for Team USA. Saturday morning, he sat for the first time in his career since he began playing at the Cup in 1997. It hasn’t been all Tiger’s fault, though, as his teammate Steve Stricker has played poorly as well. However, Tiger’s inconsistency has gotten the better of him in this highly...

As good as Tiger Woods has been for the sport of golf over his career, every tournament is inevitably reduced to the “Tiger Woods Show.” It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it makes it difficult for Ryder Cup blame and praise to be distributed equally, which is surely a mild distraction, at least. Woods sat out the early session, and it caused a lot of speculation,...

Coming into the second day of the 2012 Ryder Cup down 5-3, it was necessary that the Europeans come out with a huge performance on Saturday. With Tiger Woods and partner Steve Stricker riding the bench for the early foursome matches, the morning seemed like the perfect opportunity to strike. Early on, it looked like the Europeans would do just that. Ian Poulter and Justin Rose’s 1-up defeat of...
