Chumps, Lunkheads, Dingbats

Steve Czaban has Photo Montage of Tiger Pebble Beach Club Throwing Competition

Judging from these photos, Tiger is prepping for the Olympic javelin event with his golf clubs. (The way he putted yesterday he certainly doesn’t belong in the Olympics playing golf, that’s for certain.) Asks Czaban, “Can we get him some straps like on ski poles?” Forbes magazine rated Woods the No. 2 Most Hated Athlete in the World (behind...

Rock Rolls Over Woods

The re-coronation of Tiger Woods will have to wait at least another week as unheralded World Number 117 Robert Rock fired a 2-under 70 en route to winning the Abu Dhabi Championship. An erratic Woods, who started the day tied with Rock, fired a sloppy level par 72 to finish two strokes back. Woods still has not won a full-field, regular season event since his...

It’s the New York Post vs. Trump in Ferry Point Imbroglio

While I finish writing up all the notes from my trip to the Pacific Northwest, the New York Post takes Mayor Bloomberg and Donald Trump to task over the boondoggle that is Ferry Point golf course. what was supposed to be a high quality, yet affordable public golf course has turned into a jack Nicklaus signature design (read: mess), that will essentially be a taxpayer...

The 2011 Jazzy Awards – the Dry, Stringy Turkey of the Year

If it’s the day after Thanksgiving, then it must be time for our annual Jazzy Awards to start the holiday season! As usual, we kick off with the Turkey of the Year, where we celebrate the ludicrous, lunatic lunkheads and lugnuts that have ruined the sports year. As always, we do this feature in conjunction with our buddy and colleague Tony Korologos of Hooked...

Fred Couples Bows to Tiger Woods, Picks him for President’s Cup Team

There’s a saying that tiny, seemingly over-matched Sam Gamgee lived by when travelling with Frodo Baggins, Gandalf, Aragorn, and the rest of the heroes that formed the Fellowship of the Ring that battled Mordor: “Your legs are too short, so use your head!” Then, of course, on one occasion when that didn’t work out well he lamented, “Sam...

Fear and Loathing and Tiger Woods on the Major Championship Trail – 2011 PGA Championship Edition

JOHNS FREAK, GA – Lunatics! Scoundrels and heathens! Upstarts, rogues, and charlatans! Drag them over carpet tacks and dip them in rubbing alcohol, the lot of ’em. May a pack of Tiger Woods’s prostitute harpies give them a disease featuring a particularly viscid eczema. Despite the best efforts of American Airlines, Delta, and two scurvy-ridden...

Steve Williams – “Best Week of my Life” Wasn’t with Tiger Woods

Well this is interesting. We usually interview the winning caddie, but not like this. Steve Williams (and that means Tiger Woods’s behavior) overshadowed the sparkling 17-under performance of Adam Scott, a flat out dismantling of Big Bad Firestone, including a jaw-dropping 66-65 finish. The things Williams said in his interview were thinly veiled venom against...

Mistrial was a Great Outcome for the Prosecution in the Clemens Case

As someone who was in the Congressional hearing room where Roger Clemens – in my opinion – clearly and convincingly perjured himself, I can also state with certainty that, with the make-up of the jury pool in his perjury case that resulted in a mis-trial last week, that was a great result for the prosecution. Looking at some of the lugnuts that got that...

Tiger Tales: Steve Williams and Rachel Uchitel – again

The self-immolation of Tiger Woods continues apace with no signs of slowing down. First, Woods announced today that he fired Steve Williams, who some in the media derided as his “bag ape” and which seemed to fit in certain instances, not the least of which was his throwing a photographer’s camera in a lake. Moreover, CBS’ Steve Elling had a...
