Tiger Woods Wants $3 Million Just To Show Up For A Tournament
Tiger Woods, fully healthy, isn't waiting to kick off his 2013 schedule. Next week he's playing a European Tour event in Abu Dhabi, and the week after he'll be at Torrey Pines for his first PGA Tour stop. But if things had worked out a little differently—if Tiger's price wasn't too high even for a p...
J.R. Smith Has Become Self-Aware
It's not clear who actually took this photo, but J.R. Smith just posted it to his Instagram account along with the hashtag, #ThatWhatTheHellYouDoingLook. He is of course referring to the look of consternation that head coach Mike Woodson is throwing Smith's way during a team huddle....
The Bengals Really Could Break Their 8,400-Day Playoff Winless Streak Today
For a summer in college I interned for the sports department of the Columbus Dispatch, which sent me for a few days to cover Cincinnati Bengals training camp. The 1990s had just come to a close—a dismal era even by the Bengals' standards—and the beat writers killed time during practice by stumping o...
The Sports Video Games Of The Year
Rarely considered for overall video-game-of-the-year honors, the uncommon diversity of sports video games, and the unique demands placed on them to recreate both a real-world sport and the real-life experiences associated with it, support their own class of awards more than any other genre. These ar...
Dutch Soccer Player Released From Team For Being A "Wildpoeper," Which Is Someone Who Poops In The Woods
There must be an epidemic of people shitting outside in the Netherlands. Why else would the Dutch have a specific word that is used to describe public shitters, and why else would a soccer player be immediately released from his team for being discovered as a "wildpoeper?"...
Somehow The Knicks Managed To Get Even Older
Popped on ESPN.com to check the boxscore of tonight's Knicks-Hornets game. Had to see how the local basketball team was doing. According to the boxscore, the Knicks have on their bench a 54-year-old guard/forward who last played in 1991. That's a veteran player, right there....
Charles Barkley Says Michael Jordan Is "As Cheap As They Come"
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Another great Charles interview....
Here's An Awkward Tiger Woods Interview On CNBC
Tiger Woods is only on CNBC for this interview with Maria Bartiromo to plug Fuse Science, his new sponsorship. Considering Woods's taciturn personality, the segment should have been a glorified commercial, a break from lots of numbers and stuff. But Bartiromo lets her news instinct take over and tri...
Tiger Woods Apologized For Singlehandedly Losing The Ryder Cup
Despite the hyperbolic headline, Woods has come in for surprisingly little heat after a Ryder Cup the U.S. lost by one point, in which he went 0-3-1. Maybe it's because the outcome was decided before Tiger stepped up to the 18th tee on Sunday, maybe it's because there's plenty of blame to go around,...
An English Rugby Player Literally Played One Of His Balls Off
Paul Wood told the BBC Radio Manchester that "it really sounds worse than it is," so I suppose we'll just have to take his word for it. But ... ouch: Wood ruptured one of his testicles during a match Saturday and had to have it removed afterward. Yeah....
USC's Robert Woods Couldn't Keep His Balance After A Helmet-To-Helmet Hit, Missed One Play
Above, the uncanny floundering of USC wide receiver and All-American Robert Woods after he got spun around on a helmet-to-helmet hit. The spin itself might have made him dizzy—Woods does a full 180 after the hit—but as Jesse Palmer noted during the aftermath, it was pretty obvious Woods had his "b...
The U.S. Rolls Over And Europe Roars Back To Win The Ryder Cup
Oh, fuck! The European team just stole the Ryder Cup despite beginning the day well behind on points to the U.S. team. Three Americans lost both 17 and 18 (the U.S. went 0/7 on the 17th hole), the 10-6 lead the U.S. came in with today was not safe, and Gene Wojciechowski's "Ryder Cup all but locked...
Here's The Catch Of The Day, From The Offensive Explosion That Was Baylor At West Virginia
Ooooh-wheee, that was a good one. It wasn't quite as close as it looked in the end—70-56 until Baylor struck one last time with about three minutes left, whereupon the Mountaineers were able to run the clock down—but it was back-and-forth for most of the game. West Virginia bled the clock partly w...
Bristolmetrics: Tiger All The Time
When last we met, Herm Edwards was pretending he was an NFL coach again, Jeremy Lin's Knicks departure dominated the news, and ESPN made a bunch of sick kids happy. What would this week bring?...
Tiger's Errant Drive At 11 Today Created A Thundering Herd Of Freaks
A haphazard day for Tiger Woods continued at the par-five 11 this morning as his tee shot went well to the right, landing behind the gallery and creating a stampede of idiots desperate to get a glimpse of Tiger's golf ball. Our favorite is backpack guy, but there's plenty of gems to pick out in sl...
Whoa, We're Halfway There: The Grierson & Leitch Top 12 Movies Of The First Half of 2012
Shockingly, we are more than halfway through 2012. (It's a backloaded year: Olympics, election, total global catastrophe—all stacked up from late July on.) As always, the best, most "prestigious" movies won't be released until November or December, because the people who vote on the Oscars are senil...
Tiger Woods Is Still A Head Case
Through the first two rounds of the U.S. Open at Olympic, Tiger Woods looked a lot like the Tiger Woods we saw at Torrey Pines in 2008, when he beat Rocco Mediate in a full-round Monday playoff despite a double stress-fracture in his left tibia.* That was also Tiger's last major championship. By nig...
Who Will Win This Year's U.S. Open? Probably Someone You've Never Heard Of
Golf's major tournaments just haven't been that interesting lately. Over the last 17 majors, there have been 16 winners. In theory, this could be nice! A little diversity, a little surprise. But since Tiger's sabbatical, we've lost any hope of narrative. Individual sports thrive on story lines, riva...
Tiger Woods Streaks Back To Win The Memorial Thanks To This Astounding Chip-In At 16
He's back! Maybe! While Tiger Woods is casting a somewhat-less-imposing shadow these days (blame the therapeutic shoes) his round today was nothing short of amazing—battling illness, he came from behind to win the Memorial in Dublin, increase his tour ranking to #4, and inspire the sort of expect...
Tiger Woods Says He Can Win Tournaments Into His 50s
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Tiger says his confidence is growing....
