Phoenix Open 2013: Why Phil Mickelson Will Continue Dominant Run in Arizona

After a dominant opening round at the Waste Management Phoenix Open that saw Phil Mickelson shoot a 60 and just miss out on making history, Mickelson sits atop the leaderboard at -11. After the hot start, is it possible the 42-year-old will relinquish the lead? While it’s always a possibility, I don’t see it happening. If you had the opportunity to watch Mickelson run through the first... 

Ireland vs. Wales: Five Keys to Irish Victory

Tomorrow afternoon Wales host Ireland at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in the opening game of the 2013 Six Nations.

Victoria Azarenka Showed Battling Qualities Worthy of a World No. 1

When watching the interesting battle between Victoria Azarenka and Li Na in the Australian Open final, it was very difficult to decide who was going to win. The match swung back and forth throughout, but I did think Li was the slightly better player. The reason it was so difficult to predict the winner was because neither player performed particularly well. The unforced-error count was high, the serving... 

Previewing USA vs. Brazil Davis Cup Tie

After playing all away Davis Cup ties last year, the US men come home as they host the World Group first round against Brazil in Jacksonville, Fla this weekend.  Those returning include top-ranked American John Isner, who did not participate in Melbourne due to an injured knee. He told the press yesterday, via ESPN, that he is ready for the tie.  “I had a very encouraging week of practice... 

British and Irish Lions Rugby 2013: Pre 6 Nations Squad Outlook

There are now less than five months until the British and Irish Lions board their flight to Hong Kong, and begin the 2013 tour of Australia. The coaching team has been named and selection meetings have taken place. If players are to make the plane, they need to start staking their claims now, if they have not done so already. Injuries are beginning to take their toll and these injuries have thrown... 

Woods, Mcilroy, Mickelson, Singh Make January Memorable in Golf

What a great start to the 2013 golf year! January turned out to be a month that golf fans will remember forever. The first event of the year, the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, had its first four rounds blown away by high winds that prevented any official golf being played over the weekend. They were able to play 36 holes on Monday and a final 18 holes on Tuesday to make it an official 54-hole event,... 

Cesare Prandelli’s Tactical Options for 2013 and Beyond

Since taking over the manager’s chair for the Italian national team after the 2010 World Cup, Cesare Prandelli has for the most part relied on the diamond 4-3-1-2 that was his staple at Fiorentina.   The coach has transformed the Azzurri from a team that too often leaned on the catenaccio tactics of old into a team that focuses on dominating possession and passing. In the last... 

How Keegan Bradley Can Become a Dominant Player in 2013

A profoundly unimpressive performance at the Farmers Insurance Open last week notwithstanding (70-77, to miss the cut), Keegan Bradley can become a dominant player in 2013 and capitalize on the promise he has displayed so far in his career. Bradley, presently ranked 13th in the Official World Golf Rankings, was a dynamic element of the United States’ Ryder Cup team at Medinah last year. He followed...

Africa Cup of Nations 2013: Preview and Predictions for Saturday’s Quarterfinals

The Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinals will begin on Saturday. Just like last year, the Ivory Coast and Ghana enter the final eight as favorites to reach the final. Both of the continental powerhouses won their respective groups. Zambia ended up stealing the spotlight and the trophy in 2012, though. Can another underdog make a miracle run to the championship in 2013? Or will one of the two most talented...
