Phil Mickelson Ruined Mike Lupica's U.S. Open
Many in sports media have seen New York Daily News writer Mike Lupica's arrogant-little-sonuvabitch-side firsthand, but never has there been a Lupica story that encapsulates the tiny prick's hubris than the one Patrick Sauer witnessed during the U.S. Open. More »

The U.S. Open At Bethpage Black, Sponsored By Happy Gilmore

It's U.S. Open Week And Everyone Needs Takeouts, So...

Someone Likes Vijay's Swing
The New York Times: "Then someone yelled at Vijay Singh on the third green, complimenting his posterior in bold, succinct language." Is this Times-speak for "nice ass"? [NYT]

Jelena Jankovic Perfects The Art Of Undermining Her Opponent
Jelena Jankovic, the split-happy, thunder-serving Serbian may have lost the U.S. Open to Serena Williams yesterday, but she won over some new fans. Williams' third U.S. Open title returned her to the number-one ranking player in the WTA, but that news was overshadowed by the bizarre post-match comments from Jankovic: More »

U.S. Open
Crisis Averted
You can rest easy, casual male tennis fans still reeling from the Ivanovic upset (C.M.T.F.S.R.F.T.I.U.s): Elena Dementieva and Jelena Jankovic are through to the next round of the U.S. Open. Dementieva easily advanced in straight sets over Anne Keothavang of...England? Really? Seems kind of Dutch to me. Meanwhile, Jankovic narrowly edged out Zheng Jie of our new athletic overlords, China, 7-5, 7-5, with a final game that took 28 points to complete. Jankovic also quickly put to bed any concerns over her lingering leg injury: "As long as I'm doing the splits, that means I'm healthy...I'm not too sure about my body if I go into a split, who knows if I'll come back up?" Let's see you do something with that, commenters. More »

San Francisco Columnist Condemns Tiger's Idiocracy
Maybe it was time for one writer to stop slobbering over Tiger Woods' U.S. Open victory, but San Franciso Gate columnist Gwen Knapp appears to have gone a little overboard with her contrarianism. In her column titled " A golfing genius takes a dumb step", Knapp just levels Eldrick for his outright stupidity. Let's go to the lede: More » -

The Most Disappointing Tiger Woods Victory In History
The seventh hole of Torrey Pines decided the fate of Rocco Mediate. Rocco said before the hole, "They wanted a show, they got a show." Indeed. It seemed before today's round, most of the experts were giving Rocco about as much a shot at beating Tiger as Matt Lauer. He proved everybody wrong.

Rocco Cuts Into Lead, Still Nobody Seems To Think He Has Any Shot
As they approached the 12th hole at Torrey Pines, Johnny Miller and Dan Hicks appeared down on Rocco's chances. He'd lost a shot on ten, gained it back on 11, but, still, seems completely out of this thing down by two shots with six to go against Tiger. More »

Tiger Up By Two, Rocco Swats At Imaginary Vultures Circling Him
Broadcast switch. ESPN retires its coverage for the day and turns it over to Bob Costas at NBC who sounds very, very serious, saying that "Rocco Mediate's Cinderella story is in jeopardy." He's speaking in hushed tones, like he's in a confessional or explaining death to a small child. He has not called Sean Salisbury a "fetus-faced douche." Yet. More » -

Woods Takes One Stroke Lead, Rocco Still Smiling Like A Man Playing With House Money
The focus on Rocco right now is his closeness to the common man. After every shot, Johnny Miller is quick to point out Rocco's likability: shlubby, balding, great attitude, "looks like the guy who cleans the swimming pool", etc. It seems genuine, but you get the sense that they're waiting for Tiger to pull away, so they'll still have something to talk about on the 14th hole should this turn into a blowout.

In Case You Forgot Why Tiger Woods Got To Marry A Swedish Model
Like many humans and corporate executives before him, Tiger Woods began his round of golf on Saturday with a double bogey. But unlike everyone else, he finished the back nine with two eagles and a birdie. Only Dick Cheney sets himself up in a better position to shoot more types of bird on a weekend than Tiger Woods.

Your U.S. Open Preview, If You're Into That Sort Of Thing
The U.S. Open, held this year in Oakmont, Pennsylvania (just outside Pittsburgh), begins tomorrow. Last year's winner was Geoff Oglivy, and though everyone always assumes Tiger Woods wins everything he hasn't actually brought home a U.S. Open trophy since 2002.

Image Is Everything To James Blake
When I was a young tike, I thought Andre Agassi's flourescents were about the coolest thing in the world.

Okay, I'm wearing them right now. More »

Phil Mickelson Resumes Being Phil Mickelson
After a couple of major wins, Phil Mickelson let go of a stranglehold he had on the U.S. Open and collapsed on the 18th hole today at Winged Foot.

Mickelson and Some Guy Tied For U.S. Open Lead
I suppose we should talk about something other than soccer at some point here today. How about golf? Alright, golf it is. To be honest, and I know it's terribly unfair to the other golfers involved, but without Tiger Woods present... I can't get all that excited about it (although, to tell the truth, I still can't get excited about anything other than soccer, as Jorge Larrionda has made me finally able to comprehend what drives people to hooliganism).
