Breaking Down the 2011 Tennessee Vols – Can Derek Dooley’s Impact Happen Already?
It's almost football time in Tennessee, and that means year two of the Derek Dooley era on Rocky Top. Before I get into where I see this team going potentially, breaking down some of the early season spreads, and the over/under on total of wins; I just want to ...
College Football Previews Start Monday!!

Breaking Down the Final Round of The Open Championship
Thoughts - Puma(Fowler) impressed me today. He BY FAR had the best round playing most of it in tougher conditions. Weather tomorrow is not supposed to be that bad. That really never means anything in the UK, but maybe some wind gusts and periodic showers.

US Tennis can learn from the Bryan brothers

Just Take the “Ova’s”?
I love handicapping college football, but this is not about taking the "overs". This is about how dominant the "ova's" are in Women's Tennis. After watching another "ova", Petra Kvitova, defeat a fellow "ova", Maria Sharapova, it hit me that there are almost four times as many "ova's" ...
Is it Nadal’s way or no way?
