Formula 1: Why Lewis Hamilton Would Be Barking Mad to Leave McLaren in 2013

Is Lewis Hamilton barking mad? Can he really be serious about walking away from McLaren to take a seat (presumably Michael Schumacher’s) in a Mercedes GP car?

It is obvious that Hamilton is not in a... 

Why Tiger Woods Has an Advantage at Medinah Country Club

Tiger Woods won’t have an advantage off the tee when the first matches of the Ryder Cup are played Friday morning at Medinah Country Club in Chicago. He won’t have an advantage from the fairways or, for that matter, the rough on Course No. 3 at Medinah.

Tiger Woods Must Be U.S. Ryder Cup Hero

The U.S. record in Ryder Cup competition has not been impressive. In fact, it has been lousy. Despite having some of the greatest players in the world, like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk, the U.S. has lost four of the last five Ryder Cups. There is added pressure this time around because the competition is on U.S. soil at the Medinah Country Club in suburban Chicago. As everyone knows,...
