After The Expected Ass-Kicking, A Tunisian Player Had Kobe Bryant Autograph His Shoe
The U.S. overcame a slow start to thrash an unexpectedly tough-playing Tunisian team 110-63, which meant the usual courtesies extended to the losing side of handshakes, hugs, and the occasional picture. Tunisian forward Mohamed Hdidane—who surprised a lot of us with basketball we didn't expect fro...
Beau Hossler Is Young, Has A Missing Caddy
On the third hole of the final day at the U.S. Open, our teenaged Beau hit a shot into the sand. He would get on the green on his next shot, though likely gritting his be-braced teeth—what with all the sand and aggravation. His caddy then went to clean up after him in the bunker. But, it appears h...

This Atlanta Sports Radio Guy Dares You To Call Him A Homer
Beau Bock was born and raised in the Bronx and played college football at Miami, but he's been a sports radio guy in Atlanta since 1973.

Miss USA Candidates Attempt To Answer A Question About Evolution, Fail At It

Please Don't Mention Eggs To Mike McCarthy. Ever.
