Charles Barkley surveys the charred wreckage of his life following events of the past seven days? No, although the metaphor is apt. More »

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 festivities, where both no doubt were swaying to the intoxicating strains of Open Arms and Any Way You Want It, but probably fidgeted awkwardly during Separate Ways.

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 catchphrase of the tournament. The next day, Barkley told NBC during a TV interview: "My game is like a blog." More »

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. More »

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! Can I have your autograph?" Jessica: "Suuure!" More »

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 shocking truth: They wanted me to take my laptop out on the course and live blog Charles Barkley's rounds in the event. And I was just foolish enough not to back out. More »

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 Wednesday that he is retiring. He tore an Achilles recently during a game of pickup basketball and decided enough was enough (and unlike Mr. Favre, he won't be back). Dilfer is a fixture at the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament — he owns a house at Tahoe — and actually seems more bummed about missing that event than he does about leaving football. More »

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 Barkley will spend his down time. No gambling, certainly not! But the big news is the Tahoe golf debut of Brett Favre; or it was, until today. Looks like he's backing out, for mysterious reasons. More »

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 screwing with us this entire time. More »
