Deer Antler Spray Panic: Vijay Singh Is Dumb, But He's Not A Doper
Vijay Singh admitted to using deer antler spray, a "supplement" containing the banned substance IGF-1.

Spike Albrecht Takes The Ultimate Heat Check By Macking On Kate Upton
The Michigan Wolverines may have lost the NCAA championship last night, but that doesn't mean that backup guard Spike Albrecht isn't feeling pretty good about himself this morning.

The Golf Boys Have Returned To Rap Horribly At You

Phil Mickelson Came <em>Thisclose</em> To Shooting A 59 Today

Had he holed it, he would have shot a 59, which is golf's answer to baseball's .400, i.e. the outer bound of human ability. Only five golfers have shot a 59 on the PGA Tour. Micke...
