That’s right. Today signifies the day that the God of Golf returns to his throne. The robot I refer to is, of course, Tiger Woods. Just to clear things up, I’m calling him The Robot because it’s true, he’s a robot. He started out as the new hot golfer but people were slowly starting to [...]

Back in March of 2008, I had the chance to interview Carl English, one of the top stars in Spain’s ACB league and one of Team Canada’s top national players. At the time, we spoke about his journey to that point in his career and what the future might hold for him. After a summer [...]

The most-decorated Olympian in history caught [...]
