Video Of Milka Duno Towel-Snapping Danica Patrick, After 60 Long Minutes, Finally Surfaces


I was ready to move on from this particular story thinking there was no footage of this argument, and eventually concluding it was a lame altercation to begin with. But as the FanIQ headline says, "It's Just as Awesome as We Thought." Crystal clear audio. A towel snap. And a predominantly male pit crew doing absolutely nothing to stop the escalation. God bless America.

British Open

In The End, Joey Harrington's Distant Cousin Triumphs

All weekend the world was talking about Greg Norman's resurgence, briefly forgetting what he normally does on Sunday. (Fortunately, he reminded us almost immediately.) Then for about 10 minutes the hot golfer was Britain's Ian Poulter. Even for a split second, Jim Furyk's finish of +10 might have been good enough for a playoff. Then we remembered Padraig Harrington was the guy who won The Open Championship last year, and when we didn't believe him, he just had to go and win the thing again. So I think at least every major English accent was the frontrunner this weekend. Consider it a victory over the Romance languages. More »

Mid-Ohio Endures IRL Cat Fight Epidemic

If the concept of Ohio depresses you, at least the cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Youngstown, and Toledo all lie on or near the state border, opening up hopes and promises of other states. But Mid-Ohio? That's a lot of driving to exit the state, and driving in rural Ohio is a good way to lose one's mind. Racing in Mid-Ohio can't be much more exciting, given that I'm sure state troopers patrol the speedway to make sure you don't go over 65. More »

Rick Reilly

There's Something Salvageable In Rick Reilly's Craft

Yes, he's smug and overpaid. His commentary in the Home Run Derby was rather cringeworthy, and he just doesn't seem to fit on camera. Having said all that, Rick Reilly's slam poetry session on the British Open had moments of brilliance, and other times moments of anguish. More »

British Open Update: Ian Poulter finishes his round with a 1-under 69, clocking in at +7. That's good enough for second, and with the way the scores keep sliding toward Mickelson's numbers, Poulter might have this thing already won. Padraig Harrington has a +6 through 13 and Greg Norman isn't looking so good with a +9 through 14.

Worst Golf Scores Or Worst Video Game? You Decide

There's no doubt in my mind today's recommendation should be the world's worst video game, Cheetahmen II, because if you decide to play video games instead of finding out what happens in the British Open, you deserve to play something horrible. The story behind this is that 1,500 copies of the unreleased game were found in a warehouse in 1997 then sold, only to find out the game had hardly been debugged. The only redemption, it seems in its cult following, is its music. So there. Watch golf instead. More »

Iowa's Defense Has Promising Speed

Iowa football, it's safe to say, finished the season on a bad note, losing to Western Michigan. So they went out and recruited like crazy, landing guys like South Dakota football star Riley Reiff, a defensive end. His quickness and explosion should impress the coaches, especially since this weekend he was able to shed some of his clothes and run away from eight officers. More »

Michelle Wie

It's Beginning To Look Like Her Career Is A Disappointment

Before Greg Norman urinates away his chances of winning the British Open, let's give him some perspective. At least he signed his third round scorecard. The same can't be said of Michelle Wie at the LGPA tournament. More »

The Normans Have Invaded England Yet Again

Not since 1066 has England been this shocked of a Norman ruling their empire. Greg Norman, winner of the '86 and '93 Opens, is the clubhouse leader after 54 holes with 2-over-par. He was a half-inch from finishing the 18th hole with a chip-in and another few inches from an eagle on 17. A couple more breaks and the 53-year-old newlywed might possess a four-stroke lead. More »
