Sifting Through The Many Curious Deeds Of Mr. Charles Barkley
Charles Barkley surveys the charred wreckage of his life following events of the past seven days? No, although the metaphor is apt....

Tony And Jessica Think That Journey Totally Rocks
It wasn't all fun and wetness at the American Century Championship golf tournament at Lake Tahoe this weekend. Tony Romo and a very orange Jessica Simpson spent some quality time at the Journey/Heart/Cheap Trick concert at Harveys outdoor arena on Saturday night. Here they are arriving for the festi...

Charles Barkley Knows Not Of These 'Blogs' You Speak Of
So I was mocked repeatedly for my "interview" with Charles Barkley on Thursday, when I introduced myself and told him that I would be blogging his rounds all weekend. Yes, it somewhat resembled Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney. But I'll have you know that from that brief exchange came the ca...

Don't Worry Golfers; Kevin Has Your Back
So if Kevin Malone were organizing a dream golf foursome, what three Office characters would he choose? That's a tough one (answer following the jump). One thing you should know, though: Brian Baumgartner has very little in common with Kevin Malone. Except that both are funny....

The Biggest Attractions In Tahoe Were Not Necessarily Golfers
It's true: Tony Romo did fall into a pond at the American Century Championship. And was rescued by a hockey player. But practically no one noticed, as Jessica Simpson was rocking the white dress with the orange whoozits and wowing the crowd with her intellectual prowess. Typical exchange: "Jessica! ...

Charles Barkley Reluctantly Puts Me In His Fave Five
When NBC Sports asked if I'd blog portions of this year's American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament, of course I said yes. At what other event would I get a chance to interview FOUR participants of Dancing With the Stars? But gradually more details emerged, and I was not amused. The sh...

Adieu, Trent Dilfer. Adieu.
As you read this I am speeding toward sunny Lake Tahoe, cranking the Beach Boys, with a big nasty redhead at my side (wait. Am I Randy Newman?). But already there's news from there in my absence. Trent Dilfer, perhaps the worst quarterback to ever earn a Super Bowl ring as a starter, announced on We...

Favre Golf No-Show Fuels Comeback Speculation
So I'm looking forward to the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament at Lake Tahoe more than ever this year; in addition to the usual suspects, the field will include Dennis Miller, the lovely and vivacious Rick Reilly and the par machine that is Joe Buck. I'm also curious to see how Charles Bar...

Chandler In Tahoe: Tokyo Drift
I wasn't able to take a photo of it so I have no tangible proof, but I swear that this was one of the threesomes during Thursday's final day of practice at the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament: Cheech Marin, Charles Barkley and Kevin Nealon. If this was part of God's plan, He has just been...

Chandler In Tahoe: The Kevin Costner Photo That Almost Wasn't
Not that this picture is enormously compelling or anything, but since it didn't show up in yesterday's post, I figured I'd try to work out the bugs and give it another shot. Too bad Mr. Costner didn't try the same thing with The Postman....

Chandler In Tahoe: Kevin Costner Always Takes Time For Cheerleaders
The Celeb/Am portion of the Lake Tahoe Celebrity Golf Tournament got underway on Tuesday at Edgewood Golf Course and look, kids! Kevin Costner! After watching Costner for nine holes, I'll go ahead and estimate that the special effects budget for Tin Cup was in the $400 million range....
