It Took A While, But Michigan Decides That Fried Chicken Jokes Are Bad
On May 24, radio host and University of Michigan football announcer Frank Beckmann decided to take to The Detroit News to weigh in on Sergio Garcia's "fried chicken" comments about Tiger Woods.

How Not To Defend Sergio Garcia: Say He Has Lots Of "Colored" Friends

Sergio Garcia Makes Tiger Woods "Fried Chicken" Joke, Apologizes
For over a week now, we've had to talk about this weak golf "feud" between Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods which started in 1999 and got heated, or at least slightly warm, a week and a half ago.

The Tiger Woods-Sergio Garcia Slapfight Continues

Sergio Garcia Stirs Up The Ghosts And The Water
There's no shame in splashing short of TPC Sawgrass's iconic 17th, as Sergio Garcia did yesterday (twice!). Better players have found the drink in the past, and will in the future. But it's hard to beat Garcia's meltdown for pathos, because of history both ancient and recent....

Golf Marshal Callously Plops Turtle Into Pond
A golf marshal had the fun task of removing a turtle from the course and putting it into a pond at the Players Championship on Friday.
