Marathoning With Wolves
In trying to expunge the newest reports and associated mental images of Alberto Salazar massaging Galen Rupp late at night with Alpha Male, perhaps in the invigorating new Down By The River scent, I came across this bit of fresh air....

Things Are Not Going Well For Tiger Woods
The par-5 eighth at Chambers Bay turned ugly for Tiger Woods today, as his attempt to bounce back at the U.S. Open already finds the three-time champ four over par. He actually managed to par this, despite losing a handle on things....

Tiger Woods Says He Had To Pop A Bone Back Into His Wrist Mid-Round
Tiger Woods’s post-tournament interview on CBS featured one surprising revelation: that the four-time Masters champ dislocated his wrist after catching his club on a root early in the day, leading to “a bone popping out” but that “I put it back in.” ...

Cursin' Tiger Woods Strikes Again
Tiger Woods has actually been playing pretty decently at this year's Masters, but a rotten tee shot on today's par-5 13th left him dropping the old reliable "oh my fucking God" again. We'd say the same thing if, you know, we just hurled a club like that....

"No, Tiger, Dumbass," Says Dumbass Golfer Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods hit a bad golf shot at Augusta today, and then he said “dumbass” on TV. ...

PGA Tour Denies Claim That Tiger Woods Failed A Drug Test
Tiger Woods isn't golfing. He's taking some time off to rest, to heal, and to work on his game. But according to one dude who probably doesn't know anything, it's all a coverup, and Woods is actually serving a secret Tour suspension for a failed drug test. Today, both the PGA Tour and Woods's agent ...

AEG Invokes Terrorism In Bid To Halt Rival Inglewood Stadium Project
Sports conglomerate AEG has pursued the construction of an NFL stadium in Los Angeles for over a decade, and it has become clear that they'll resort to a hilariously deplorable campaign of dirty tricks to ensure that a competitor's stadium doesn't get built. ...

Inglewood Decides Not To Let Public Vote On Rams' Stadium
"We need to do the will of the people and we need to do it tonight," said the mayor of Inglewood, Calif., moments before fast-tracking approval for construction of a football stadium for the Rams so that the people will never get to vote on it....

Bad Golfer Tiger Woods Taking A Break From Golf
Tiger Woods, last seen doing a very realistic impression of a terrible chipper, will take a break from tournament golf, he announced on his website. Woods withdrew from last week's Farmers Insurance Open with a back injury, but says it is unrelated to the surgery he had last March to relieve a pinch...


Tiger, What The Fuck, Man?
Holy shit! This is Tiger Woods's third shot on the par-4 tenth (his first of the day) at the Farmers Insurance Open. Jesus Christ, he just bangs this thing like a railroad spike, less like a chip shot than Miguel Cabrera rocking a line drive up the third base line, or any Dwight Howard hook shot eve...

Hey, Here's A Photo Of Tiger Woods Without His Fake Front Tooth (Yes)
Go with me on this for a second. If you were gonna fly all the way out to Italy to surprise your girlfriend at her job—she's up for a record! this is important to her!—and go through the trouble of letting her family know ahead of time, and having them keep it a secret, you'd probably take a second ...

Arkansas State Player Ejected For Threatening An Official
Well, here's a first. In the fourth quarter of tonight's already bonkers GoDaddy Bowl in Mobile, Arkansas State's Xavier Woodson got ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct. Specifically, Woodson was accused of "threatening an official."...

Tiger Woods Is Playing Horribly At His Own Tournament
Tiger Woods made his return to PGA play today at his own Hero World Challenge charity tournament, and the above video suggests maybe he needs a few more months off. Here he is on the par-5 13th at Isleworth, struggling mightily. He's currently +4, in last place....

It's Been Five Years Since Tiger Woods's Worst Thanksgiving Ever
It's still stunning how quickly everything fell apart for the world's greatest golfer, last seen being a humorless prick. And it all began five years ago today: a car crash, and cheating allegations that spiraled into one of the biggest sports scandals we're ever likely to see....

Tiger Woods, In His Own Words
So Tiger Woods is all bent out of shape about a satirical piece Dan Jenkins wrote in Golf Digest. We think Woods is a hollowed-out dummy who long ago ceased to be a human being, but we do agree with part of his criticism of Jenkins. The "fake interview" conceit is just fine, but Jenkins shouldn't ha...

Lindsey Vonn Is Just As Dumb And Humorless As Her Boyfriend Tiger Woods
Yesterday at The Players' Tribune, "Tiger Woods" "wrote" the dumbest fucking thing in response to a satirical, obviously fake piece that ran in a recent issue of Golf Digest. All Woods's blockheaded complaint did was alert the world to how much of a dense, robotic dolt he is, and now his girlfriend,...

Tiger Woods Melts Down Over Gentle Satire
The Players' Tribune justified its existence this afternoon when guest contributor Tiger Woods published a screeching rebuttal to a disposable piece of satire in this month's Golf Digest. Why rely on Twitter as the middleman for athletes' unhinged rants when you can get them directly from the sour...

Rory McIlroy: Tiger And Phil Are "Into The Back Nine Of Their Careers"
The Tour Championship begins today, and it's the first time since 1992 that neither Tiger Woods nor Phil Mickelson qualified. We are, by any reasonable observer, toward the tail-end of a generational torch-passing at the top. The world's No. 1 certainly qualifies as a reasonable observer....
