I’m pretty sure Roger Federer beat Gilles Simon last night in the second round of the 2011 Australian Open.  But it was hard to tell after reading this recap from the Australian Open website. In the span of nine paragraphs, Federer is referred to 13 times by something other than his given name.  The synonyms include record-breaking Grand Slam champion, young father, world No. 2, former...

January 14, 2011 From the desk of Sarah Palin Somewhere in Alaska Re: Safari Club International Gun Convention   Dear Tiger, How ya doin’?  Since we last spoke, you crashed your Escalade into a fire hydrant and your wife tried to bash your brains in with a seven-iron.

For sports fans, some transfers of power are harder to stomach than others.  When Jack Nicklaus became the world’s dominant golfer in the mid-60s, he not only usurped a King but vanquished Arnie’s Army in the process.  My dad puts it simply: “I hated Jack.” More recently, Lee Westwood overtook Tiger Woods as the world’s top golfer.  Westwood’s a fine...

Sports fans love good sports movies.  They love watching them.  And they really love talking about them. Who hasn’t debated Hoosiers vs. The Natural vs. Raging Bull for multiple hours over multiple Coronas?  Almost every major sport offers its share of great flicks.  Basketball has Hoop Dreams and Blue Chips. Baseball has Bull Durham and The Bad News Bears. Football has Rudy...
