Tiger Woods Named PGA Tour Player of the Year

Even though Tiger Woods wasn’t able to capture an elusive 15th major championship, he was named the 2013 PGA Tour Player of the Year after a season that included five tournament triumphs. Tiger has dominated the award in its 20-year history.  He’s now won 11 times, and won 10 out of 13 from 1997-2009.  Jason Sobel of the Golf Channel passed along the news: Woods said it was an... 

Formula 1 Teams Should Be Forced to Make More Use of Young Drivers

Talented young drivers have a ridiculously tough time getting into Formula One—so should the teams be forced to give them a helping hand? As recently as ten years ago, F1 had unlimited testing. Any team that felt so inclined could book a track and do as many laps as they liked in any car they chose using any driver they wished. Aside from the benefits it brought in terms of car development, testing... 

Ranking the Top 10 F1 Drivers of the 2000s

Should Sebastian Vettel decide to stay at Red Bull beyond the end of his current contract and if Adrian Newey continues to turn out world beating machines, the German ace is set to dominate Formula 1 for the next decade. Much of the groundwork for Vettel’s current success was laid in the decade we know as the “noughties” when another German hero of his was smashing records left,... 

Ranking the Top 10 Retro Formula 1 Overalls

As slick, professional and safe race suits are these days, there seems to me to be a lack of identity behind the overalls of modern Formula One. Given the large budgets and high levels of team dependency that seem to characterise the sport these days, it’s understandable that recognisable team apparel has become a prerequisite of F1 racing. Of course, throughout the years a team has always been... 

South Africa vs. Australia: Key Battles to Watch

Given New Zealand’s rampant form in this year’s Rugby Championship so far, Saturday’s meeting between South Africa and Australia could turn out to be little more than a fight for bragging rights. That being said, the Cape Town clash gives the Springboks an opportunity to remain within reach of the awe-inspiring All Blacks, while Ewen McKenzie’s Wallabies are simply seeking to... 

Why Brazil Are Mistaken in Calling Up Liverpool’s Lucas Leiva

Liverpool‘s Lucas Leiva has earned himself another chance to impress for the Selecao, some two years after making his last appearance for Brazil. Luiz Felipe Scolari, experimenting with his squad ahead of the 2014 World Cup, has handed the Brazilian a recall ahead of friendlies against South Korea and Zambia in October. The decision has provoked quite the response on social networks, with many... 

Luiz Felipe Scolari Ponders Brazil’s Striker Options Before 2014 World Cup

An impressive haul of 14 goals in five games at the FIFA Confederations Cup that was followed up by nine goals in their last two international friendlies would suggest all is well with Luiz Felipe Scolari‘s Brazil and the striking options available to him for the World Cup next year. But as always in these quarters, there are a plethora of talents waiting in the wings to step in at a moment’s... 

Swedish Police Use Rocket-Speed Escalators to Clear Raucous Football Fans

Footage has surfaced on the internet of scenes outside the ground as Djurgården and AIK faced off in a derby in Sweden on Thursday. The fans are in high spirits, to put things mildly, but rather than let them get held up in a train station, the Swedish police have an ace up their sleeve. Ladies and gentlemen—introducing the rocket-speed escalator. It doesn’t initially appear... 

Novak Djokovic vs. Li Na: Preview and Expectations for Charity Match Exhibition

The famous “Battle of the Sexes” match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs took place almost exactly 40 years ago. While it’s unlikely that the intensity and hostility involved of that match will be seen again, a new “Battle of the Sexes” will take place on Friday between women’s star Li Na and men’s No. 1 Novak Djokovic. According to the China Open’s... 

Why Diego Simeone Will Be the Next Argentina Coach

Argentina are chugging along nicely under Alejandro Sabella and will be one of the favorites to win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, but whenever their next managerial change occurs, the man most likely to take charge will be Diego Simeone.
