Most Egyptologists agree the famous boy-king of Egypt, Tutankhamun was ruthlessly murdered. Some blame court intrigue saying Tut’s inexperience and tender years were a recipe for mis-management of the realm. How many boy-kings in history have had the political acumen and intellectual prowess to protect both the kingdom and their necks? It would be easy –...
People can make all the New Jersey jokes that want, but when it comes to steroids, only the kids playing fair are laughing now. New Jersey became the first state to institute a state-wide steroid and other designer performance enhancing drug testing policy for high school athletes. This is a great victory for fairness in sports. It’s a victory for the kid who...
“This is an Emmy winner right here. You can write ‘Tony’ all over this.” – Bobby Knight. Can you say “Bonds on Bonds…” Quick! Call John Eisendrath over at ESPN! We have a winner that’s riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight up their alley!
Here is the link. ***WARNING*** Foul Language.
The cool thing about websites is you can see who’s checking you out and what they were looking for. Take this for example. While doing a routine check on what people were googling when they found me, someone was searching…get this…”Fossil Trace golf cart girls.” Come again??? Why on earth would somebody be googling that? What did they...
ESPN thoroughly disgusted me and betrayed every ordinary citizen ever burdened with any kind of addiction when they rolled out Charles barkley to offer “expert analysis” on, get this, he gambles too much money when he loses. Could someone point me to any poignant analysis in the disgraceful rant that followed? What exactly are we supposed to have learned...
So Frank Hannigan writes an excellent article discussing exactly how much golf “coverage” has devolved with ESPN and NBC leading the charge. The article is here at Golf Observer. Hannigan, along with Phil Mushnick at the New York Post point out how vacuous and Tiger-philic golf commentators from ESPN through Dan Hicks and Johnny Miller have become at...
Here’s one from the “Tales of the Golfing Weird”…thanks to Robert Sommers. Apparently, players on the losing side of matches in India are notorious for taking their frustration out on their caddy…with a whip. No…seriously…a sign on the clubhouse bulletin board of the Chandigarh G.C. lists harsh penalties to stem the seemingly...
I’m really disappointed in the American Olympic team. Not with the medal count – I’m actually happy about that. Winning every medal in every event completely demeans the so-called and entirely non-existent “Olympic Spirit,” but that’s not what I’m on about. No, I’m disappointed in the way our preening, self-aggrandizing...
One of the best benefits of ESPN’s waning “golf coverage” is that we won’t have to hear them beat the drum as much about their “upcoming golf coverage.” This works especially well this week at the FBR Open where last year was a constant indoctrination at their boot camp for social angst that “drunk rowdy crowds are great for...
We interrrupt this golf website to bring you a special bulletin. Scientists have confirmed that a solid, rocky “Kuiper Belt” object orbiting our sun called “UB313” is actually a “tenth planet” and is larger in diameter (by 1,500 miles) then the former furthest planet from the sun, Pluto. That’s interesting. So now...
All right I’ve had it. This calls for an epic rant. I was out with this girl and talking about how great the Blue Man Group Rock DVD is and I wind up my glowing review with “And they played “Baba O’Riley” for an encore! What does she say? “What’s that? It sounds like an Irish pub?” I asked her if she knew “that...
The NFL players union filed a grievance against player agent Carl Poston, principal in his own agency with his brother Kevin, seeking disciplinary action against the firm “Professional Sports Planning” for alleged mishandling of Lavar Arrington’s contract with the Washington Redskins. Arrington and Poston had filed a grievance against the Redskins...
Last week, two ESPN radio jockeys were debating how embarasses the Vick family must be after Marcus stomped on an opposing players defensless calf with his cleated size 16. Vick was kicked off the football team, permanently dumped after the Gator Bowl. The ESPN apologists (all bow down to the Holy Church of the Professional Athlete), simpered that compared to Billy...
Nothing erodes confidence in the American Justice system faster than when athletes and celebrities get preferential treatment. In a ghastly and grotesque parody of “justice,” Superior Court Judge M. Gino Brogdon ordered Georgia Tech to reinstate cornerback Reuben Houston to the football team even though he is facing felony drug charges and was suspended...
…OK this time it’s NFL cheerleaders, but just when you slam people for real-life story lines from ESPN’s “Playmakers” it only gets worse…check out this from the “sports societal rocket sled to hell” division. As Steve czaban said “how long before the minnesota vikings pick them up off waivers?”: NFL...
