Roger Federer is the best tennis player I've ever seen play. He's better than Sampras, Agassi, Borg, McEnroe, or Conners. You'd be hard pressed not to call him the greatest tennis player that ever lived. He holds the men's record for most single's grand slam titles with 16. Wednesday's he lost to Thomas Berdych 4-6, 6-3, 1-6, 4-6 in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. That's the first time since 2002 ...

Before anyone tells me I can just change the channel or not read about a story, I agree with you. That doesn't mean when I'm checking out Sportscenter or reading some national sports site that I have to like the never ending coverage of one of these topics. Here are the stories that I've kind of had it with.

Graeme McDowell is your 2010 U.S Open Champion. Congratulations to McDowell he survived a brutal Sunday. That 4th round was every bit a U.S Open. It's just became real battle between the players and making par.
Final Thoughts:
1) England, Ireland, and Northern Ireland have 6 of the top 14 players in the World, and Graeme McDowell from Northern Ireland isn't even one of them. That just shows ho...

The U.S Open's 2nd round was completed on Friday. Graeme Mcdowell of Northern Ireland is your leader at three under. Mcdowell is a quality player, but has never won in the U.S. He was a Ryder Cup player for Europe in 2008 and has 5 professional wins. Mcdowell has played well, but he's got some of golf's biggest names chasing him.
Phil Mickelson my pre-tournament favorite fired the tournament's b...

Justin Rose at age 17 finished 4th in the British Open in 1998. The future looked very bright for the young Englishman. Through the next decade Rose struggled with his game, and it looked like he would basically become a journeyman pro.
Today by winning the Memorial (Jack's tournament), Rose may have finally fulfilled the promise he showed so many years ago. He's still only 29.
He shot a bliste...

Quietly one of the most underrated streaks in sports game to an end Tuesday. Roger Federer lost 3-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 to Robin Soderling in the French Open quarters to end a streak of 23 straight Grand Slam semi-final appearances. No other professional men's tennis player has a streak of more than 10 straight. That distinction goes to Ivan Lendl and Rod Laver. When you consider that in order to compl...
