This is classic. When the Onion picks up on sports, you know the issue is big.
The only ignominy left for Knick fans to endure is for Isiah and Dolan themselves to suit up and try to play. I wouldn’t put it past Dolan…after all, he fancies his money can make him a rock star…
As the ground-shaking running game, nut-cutting defense and game-blasting aerial attack of the New England Patriots gets closer and closer to going undefeated and untied, the greatest donkey show on Earth is growing more Shrill than a Hillary Clinton-Nancy Pelosy catfight. That’s right, the decrepit, addled, self aggrandizing geriatrics of the 1972 Miami...
“He was giving him the business” Priceless. How exactly does the competition committee define that? Hat tip to both Awful Announcing and Pittsburgh Steelers site Postgame Heroes. Go Steelers. For those of you wondering exactly how the competition committee defines “giving him the business” just click on the video immediately below for...
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 steak and pasta yesterday, as usual, and watched everyone else fall asleep due to tryptophan or whatever it’s called. So it’s time to give out the Dry, Stringy Turkey of the Year Award. This time it goes to...
So you get two videos for the price of one this week. A. Reading List! First, meet George Larkin, playright, producer and filmmaker. Few people have as broad and deep a background in literature as George; Deerfield Academy, Yale University and the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon (where he worked with the actors of the Royal Company!) The depth and...
…millions of $$ spent tipping and untipping and not a sliver of grass to be seen…and these people had all that time and money to try to improve the NYC public course. This is a ghastly and grotesque failure of leadership. Someone at the Parks Department needs to actually have worked in the golf industry because they are made to look like rubes making...
Quick memo from the sports desk today: 1. My Lederach Review is up at Cybergolf. One clarification…for all you newbies, my scores for “Excitement” and “Difficulty” are on a scale of TWELVE. However the star system for all other categories is out of SEVEN. So Lederach get 6 out of 7 for design, etc, but 8.5 out of 12 for difficulty...
Since I represent a large number of the kids sued for downloading music, this news was a four alarm migraine: Jury hits mom with $220,000 verdict for 24 songs. Jury instruction that “offering for download” was “distribution dooms single mom to pay for world’s most expensive mix tape. My reaction -to Jon Healey of th L.A. Times and to the...
“We’re angling to host a major” boasted a “resort” employee. Then Tom Fazio called it “The Augusta of the North and local chumps ate it up hook line and sinker. Now the word around the campfire is they have their eye on a FedEx Cup date. After drawing a mere 3,500 daily, I doubt it. The B.C. Open was loved far more for its fun vibe...
This is just the funniest thing ever…next to Boring Stone I mean Turning Stone getting a paltry 3,500 people per day for their Quest for the Card cash grab this weekend. That’s not exactly the way to try to wrest a FedEx Cup date from Westchester/Liberty National, is it. With all their barkings, oinkings and belchings that are full of sound and fury...
I have always thought Mike Patrick was always over-calling everything with his sacchariny sweet voice or thespian-like bombast, but this garbage about Britney Spears takes the cake. One play away from the end of the barnburning Georgia-Alabama game and Patrick – out of a clear blue sky, with the game in the balance – asks Todd Blackledge for his opinion...
These guys are terrific. Check out what they had to say about “Who’s Now.” They know how to skewer chumps, lunkheads and dingbats.
Nice job fellas…when do we get pieces on Dan Hicks and Johnny Miller?
Arbitrators in Floyd Landis’s (yes, that is the correct punctuation) doping case found him guilty of using steroids. They also ruled in dicta that they did NOT rely on Greg Lemond’s testimony that Landis admitted doping to him. The hearing turned into a soap opera when Lemond said thaccused Landis’s manager of trying to influence his testimony. ...
This Newsday article exposes how the greed of Nassau County upends the core values of golf and merely reaches for an extra $30 from players. I will NOT be visiting Eisenhower Park until they rescind this decision and allow walkers. The article is from Newsday: EAST MEADOW, N.Y. (AP) — A Long Island woman is boycotting her favorite course. A man in Florida has...
So as the casino masters of TPC Utica,Turning Stone Casino  sorry, they don’t call it Casino for this week – Turning Stone Resort gleefully chirp “play where the pros play,” you too can “play slots where the pros walk by the slots!” That’s right, while the resort hides the slots during ads and TV promos, the casino in the...
