2008 Jazzy Awards – Turkeys of the Year – ESPN Buying Rights, PSLs

Well, it’s the day after Thanksgiving and everyone except me and a few other Turkey haters are eating leftover dry stringy bird remnants. I had porterhouse steak yesterday, (***insert Caddyshack reference***:  “Oh!  Porterhouse!”)  as usual, and watched everyone else fall asleep due to tryptophan or whatever it’s called. So it’s time...

Awful Announcing has a top ten list to crack you up

You’ve got to love Awful Announcing, shining a light on the dumbest things said each week in sports. This week’s Pammy Awards – named after gaffe-tastic Pam Ward, she who advised a team to spike it on fourth down – are here, but here’s my top three: 3.  “Fearless. Totally fearless. The gunslinger. If you don’t get to the...

Judge, Angry Neighbor Make Winged Foot East 17 Hole Course

As soon as I get the decision, I’ll analyze and post, but this sounds downright asinine to me.  A Westchester state court Judge ruled that Winged Foot must close their par-3 sixth hole because the house of the man who lives right of the green gets hit by too many golf balls now that the club removed three trees. On another note, I’m making soem edits to...

Memo from the Sports Desk: NASA Get it Together

We interrupt this sports website for a space exploration update. As my friend Julie Zimmerman would say, “Holy Buckets!” NASA has a four alarm P.R. migraine right now, as the test shuttle for the Orion project plummeted thousands of feet during re-entry and crashed on the desert floor in Yuma, Arizona. Two out of three parachutes failed to deploy. Meat...

Michelle Wie Shoots 80, is presently T122d, Interview snippets are interesting

Her 73 yesterday was enough to “energize” her supporters into all their old self-delusions.  People were claiming she was “competitive” on the PGA Tour, and that she was ready to “make history.”  But after she finished today with a trunk-slammer round of 80, the key stats were these.  She averaged 24.5 putts per round and she...

Even AWITP Readers are Crackin’ Wise about the Michelle Wie Dairy Queen (DQ)

Julie Zimmerman made me spit up coffee all over my desk. “How the hell do you not remember to sign your scorecard? Did mommy and daddy forget to tell her?” It’s such a hard thing to do! Especially when your in the scoring area to do just that. How many pro tournaments has she played in? Did they teach her that at Stanford? Maybe she is the...

Floyd Landis, Steroid Cheat, Loses Last Appeal, Gets Slammed by Court

Here’s the article.  It’s no less than he deserves.  Floyd Landis, steroid cheat, has run out of courts in which to continue to harass, annoy, and spread false witness about the anti-doping establishment.  From the article: “In the end, the panel saved its harshest criticism for Landis, who it said essentially tried to muddle the evidence and...
