Comparing the Liberals’ demise to sports

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Golf, Ice Hockey

After watching the Canadian federal Liberal party get absolutely crushed during Monday’s election, I tried to think of a sports comparison of what just happened. Well, there’re a few different routes you could go with this one.
 
Michael Ignatieff took over a party that was doing fine and led the, straight into the gutter. Sounds like [...]

Where is the Masters?

by Dan Bilicki In: Golf

What’s up with the lack of early coverage for the Masters? For some reason, it’s impossible to find any sort of TV coverage of the early tee times and of the front nine. No matter which day of the tournament it is, stations will only start broadcasting around 3 p.m. EST. Quite curious when you [...]

One hell of a week for sports

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Basketball, Golf, Ice Hockey, Soccer

Working in the sports department, this is one of those weeks that you both hate to love and love to hate. Just think about how much is going in this span of seven days. Well, it’s kind of actually eight days, but who cares?
 
First of all, three of North America’s biggest sports are in progress. [...]

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Basketball, Golf, Ice Hockey, Olympics, Soccer

Like any year in sports, a lot has happened in 2010. Since everybody else has chimed in with their two cents about what they liked and what mattered most, why not cop out for once — OK, maybe more than once — and throw down a list of my own favourite moments of the year.
Now, [...]

Tiger’s back on the prowl

by Dan Bilicki In: Golf

So Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren are now divorced. Yawn. Wake up me up when the news comes out about how much money she got for a few years by his philandering side.
This is one of the richest athletes in the history of sports we’re talking about here. And, as far as any report I’ve [...]

Just what golf needed … Not!

by Dan Bilicki In: Golf

This British Open was precisely what golf needed, and I say that with as much sarcasm as I could possible infuse in that statement.
In the most prestigious tournament that there is, a person that even die-hard fans had probably not even heard of won – and held a nice lead from early on too. Louis [...]

Day of drama

by Dan Bilicki In: Golf, Ice Hockey

There was no shortage of compelling stories on Sunday in the world of sports. Phil Mickelson made his charge at the Masters, firing a five-under 67, to win the biggest tournament of them all. He beat Lee Westwood by three strokes to take him his third green jacket.
He even made one ballsy shot from directly [...]

It happens today. The greatest golfer in the world will try to make one of the biggest comebacks in the history of sports. He’s starting his return at the biggest event of the season. Yes, Tiger Woods will finally tee off again at the Masters after his self-imposed exile from golf.
After a news conference [...]

Tiger to take to the course

by Dan Bilicki In: Golf

I couldn’t think of a better tournament to host Tiger Woods’ comeback to golf than The Masters.
Think about how affected a smaller tournament would have been by being Tiger’s return from exile. Think about how many extra press passes and tickets would be sold. It would become an absolute zoo and it would turn from [...]

The Tiger saga

by Dan Bilicki In: Golf

If you haven’t heard all of the details of Tiger Woods’ one-car accident, well, you probably have been living in a cave for the past week. I won’t recap what happened to the best golfer in world because there’s nothing new to be told about the accident, except that he’s now getting a fine of [...]
