Nick Watney: A Small Town Kid Turned Up and Coming PGA Tour Star

I’ve been around the game of golf since I was eight years old. But until this past Saturday, I had only walked a full 18 holes as a spectator once. It was with my late grandfather, who took me out to a tournament when I was probably 11 years old. Looking back on it, he probably wanted to teach me about respecting the game, and how the players carried themselves on the course, as well as how they... 

What Are Rafael Nadal’s Chances? Look To the Skies

At the US and Australian Opens, rain prompts an immediate stop in play–followed by the employment of the roof Down Under. Any tennis player dumb enough to play on wet asphalt is asking for a turned ankle, or maybe worse. The grass of Wimbledon isn’t quite as risky in the rain, but you still won’t see players stay on it should the drops start falling; concrete or not, no one enjoys... 

Jack Nicklaus and Muirfield Welcome The World’s Best To The Memorial

Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio, just outside of Columbus, is the sight of this weekend’s Memorial Tournament. The golf course built by Jack Nicklaus first held the Memorial in 1976. In addition to the annual tournament every year, Muirfield has hosted the 1986 Junior U.S. Amateur, the 1987 Ryder Cup Matches, the 1992 U.S. Amateur and the 1998 Solheim Cup. The course, number 16 on Golf Digest’s... 

A Debate We Forgot: The Refueling Ban

Has anyone else noticed the current and complete lack of discussion concerning one of the most talked about rule changes for the 2010 season? After Bahrain the claws came out from both drivers and spectators for the refueling ban that was promised to afford us greater levels of compelling action. Instead, many saw it as a huge detriment to the sport and called for its immediate exit. A new season full... 

Roland Garros: Men’s Quarterfinal Preview

Roland Garros—Paris, France It’s been wet, it’s been slippery, it’s required scarves and jackets, and if you listen close enough, Gael Monfils and Fabio Fognini are still arguing with the tournament director in the middle of Court Philippe Chatrier—but what it will always remain (hopefully) is Roland Garros. A draw which contained 128 of the best men’s players... 

Roger Federer Vs. Robin Söderling: Repeat or Reversal Of Fortunes?

Tomorrow features the most promising match-up on the men’s side of the tournament so far—a repeat of last years final between the defending champion Roger Federer and Swedish prodigy and runner-up Robin Söderling. Who will emerge as winner and make his way towards the semi’s, where either Thomas Berdych or Mikhail Youzhny will wait for the man who prevails? Let us first take... 

2010 FIFA World Cup: The Most Boring World Cup Ever

In the lead up to a World Cup finals, there is a feeling of anticipation. There is a general feeling of impending excitement. There is the mouth watering impatience to get started. Unfortunately, there is no heightened sensation of expectation from this tournament. Yes, there are a few games that I may turn the television on for, but on the whole, I have been left feeling remarkably underwhelmed. Is... 

Tiger Woods’ Next Stop: Party at Jack’s Place

Next stop on the PGA Tour is the Memorial, played in Dublin, Ohio at Muirfield Village Golf Course. Tiger Woods is the defending champion, and will be my A-player in Yahoo Fantasy Golf this week. Tiger plays well here usually, so lets see if he can reach the form we are accustomed to. Especially in Jack’s backyard, Tiger should open one serious can of whup-ass this week. My B-players in Yahoo... 

Venus Williams: Ranking the Sexiest French Open Outfits

She has said that she’s retiring the lingerie-looking outfit from her repertoire after the distraction it caused at the 2010 French Open. That doesn’t mean it’s gone from her EleVen clothing line. The exposure the outfit earned at Roland Garros could translate into millions in sales. When it comes to revealing outfits, Venus was a no-brainer No. 1 at this grand slam. What other French... 

Has Roma Made a Mistake Signing Adriano??

The deal is done and the emperor is on his way to Rome this week to take his place in Serie A once again. After bursting onto the international soccer scene after the 2004 Copa America final where he scored the tying goal versus Argentina with just seconds left, Adriano has surely made a name for himself on the field. Unfortunately, he has made a name for himself off the field as well. He has gone...
