Fall Series PGA Tour Golf Events Exit Siberia, 2013 Finale to Be Blockbuster

Since 2007, which seems an eternity ago, events after the Tour Championship became second tier.  The purses were smaller.  The fields did not have the top players, although the occasional star made an appearance.  But, that’s about to change.   After five years in the equivalent of golf Siberia, the fall events have gone from worst to first.   They will kick off...

Poland vs. England: FIFA Fiasco or Polish Plot?

The Poland vs England football match was postponed this evening in conditions of pure farce. It is hard to apportion blame but based on the available information both FIFA and the Polish FA must take a long hard look in the mirror.
