With the British Open or The Open Championship as it is commonly referred to overseas this week we thought we’d treat everyone with a little southern love. Geoff Ogilvy isn’t a golfer tearing up the golf world right now and he’s actually been in a bit of a funk the last few years. Geoff Ogilvy’s wife Juli Ogilvy, however, never appears to be in a funk. While Geoff is from Australia, his wife Juli is…
Is there anyone out there surprised when they see Ernie sniffing the leader board of a major championship? Since he won the PGA Tour rookie of the year in 1994, Ernie has always been a threat to win any tournament he enters.

This is one of those posts that makes you realize that how old you are getting. As I was looking for athletes to cover for the Summer Olympics I stumbled across Brittany Viola. At first I said to myself, ‘there is no way she is who I think she might be.’ However, after some quick research I can confirm that Brittany is infact the daughter of former MLB baseball pitcher “Sweet Music” Frank Viola.

In order to defeat your opponent, you must first learn about them. So while we are decidedly pro-America, we figure you also want a glimpse at the competition. Never say we aren’t looking out for you. On that note, we present to you Australian swimmer Stephanie Rice. For those readers not familiar with their Australian swimmers let me get you caught up. Rice is another in a long line of talented Australian swimmers competing in…
