Approaching Inferno Or No Approaching Inferno, We're Getting In Our 18 Holes
What kind of a penalty is that if the wind from the firefighting helicopter blows your ball into the rough? "Tough luck that part of the fairway being on fire, Chuck. But that's where you hit it, and rules are rules." Natural disasters can be so damned inconvenient sometimes, especially when the she...

Finally; Rosie Perez Arrives To Explain This NFL Tie Business
The more I hear about it, the more convinced I am that this Eagles-Bengals tie quote is going to be Donovan McNabb's legacy; like Chris Webber's time out with none remaining, or the ground ball through Buckner's wickets. I'm not saying that's fair, it's just the way it's gonna be. Because when video...
College Football Roundup: Barack Obama's New Southern Strategy
The most interesting thing about this weekend was Barack Obama continuing his jeremiad against the BCS. At first you thought his Monday Night Football interview with Berman was probably just a flippant aside. But now he's carried the anti-BCS flame into office and laid out an 8-team playoff plan. Al...
Donovan McNabb Would Like To Use One of His Lifelines
OK it's true, Donovan McNabb had no idea that there was such a thing as a tie in the NFL (see video below). But let's not pick on him; it seems that there were several members of the Eagles and Bengals who were unaware of the rule, as unbelievable as that might sound. In what will go down in my hous...

It Happened: Brock Lesnar Is Your New UFC Heavyweight Champion
In only his fourth professional MMA fight, Brock Lesnar defeated UFC legend Randy Couture in a second round TKO. The severely undersized Couture held his own in the first round but got caught by a few nasty blows from Lesnar in the second and when you get caught by a guy of that size, it's over. The...

Dodgers Fans Need Bailout for Spring Training Tickets

Peter Boulware Finds Things A Bit Different In This School Of Hard Knocks
This time Peter Boulware got to play some offense. The results were less than satisfactory, however, as the former Baltimore Ravens linebacker came up just short in his quest to win a seat in the Florida state House of Representatives on Nov 4. Final score: Michelle Rehwinkle Vasilinda 48.6 percent,...
Kerry "the Crooning Cannon" Collins Is a Country Music Songwriter
Lost in the bedlam that has overtaken my hometown over the Titans 9-0 start and Kerry Collins becoming an MVP candidate is this fact: Kerry Collins has written a country song. Which is entertaining on several levels, but not nearly as entertaining as the title: "It's Not Hard to Be Happy When I'm L...
Please Do Not Approach The Tigermobile
This is purported to be the sweet ride of one Willy-Mo, aka William Moore, senior safety for the Missouri Tigers; although judging from the photo below, it may be someone else's. At any rate, I don't know where this was taken, but it doesn't seem like it's a great part of town. In fact, according to...

A Little Trash Talk For Your Tuesday
First, the reasons Kevin Garnett's taunting actions here are a big bowl of wrong: the finger-waving gestures you see in the stills and in the video below are from the movie Bring It On. What? Kevin Garnett is a 15-year-old girl? Also, after all that tongue-wagging and gesturing, Jose Calderon whistl...
