“Pushy” Broadcaster Jim Gray Removed From Northern Trust Open Coverage After Incident with Caddie

After a second embarrassing vehement altercation in six months with PGA TOUR interview subjects, Golf Channel broadcaster Jim Gray – who was called “pushy” and worse by fellow journalists and broadcasters – has been removed by Golf Channel from this week’s coverage of the Northern Trust open at Riviera Country Club. Gray, who was...

Spitting, Loogie-Gate 2011 – Another Tournament, More Proof of an Impenitent Tiger Woods

Okay, so it wasn’t the “Golden Shower” he discussed with porn stars, but was it “spitto, spittere” or “hactui splatum?” The old Latin I joke came true for a still embattled and controversy embroiled Tiger Woods as many in the golf World are horrified by his breach of golf etiquette, basic manners, and hygiene. With what looks...

Olympus Camedia Product Review

Pictures, they say, are worth 1,000 words. I’ll give you a few anyway. This O-lame-pus Comedian wasn’t fit to photograph my cat’s litter box. So I had my new Brian Symonds oversized, mega-soled, 64-degree sand wedge do the product review for me. The sand wedge and my new Nikon – which took as its first photo the snapshot above – work...

2010 Jazzy Awards – Turkey of the Year

Since silly season is upon us, I can turn my attention to Jay’s Golf Awards, known around here as the Jazzys. Last year, we only gave out two awards since the Tiger scandal scud-attacked every other story all December, (not to mention the rest of the year). We gave out the 2009 Turkey of the Year to Woods for being a poor sport and role model, but that was...

New Tiger Says “Hello World,” World Yawns and Shakes Head

Lots of people these days believe the old joke, “Insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result.” On that note – Quick! – someone decide quick whether to reserve a Bellevue bed or straight-jacket for Woods, Agent Mark Steinberg or both because New Tiger looks and sounds just like Old Tiger: new year, same...

Tony Korologos has Story of Golfer Busted in Fro-gurt Heist

Tony Korologos played golf with a prominent amateur who apparently has million-dollar talent but a ten-cent head. According to this story, a thief who stole frozen yogurt from a store actually bragged about it on Facebook. I told you it was a good time to bring back “Think B4 you Facebook something stupid!” Tony and I will be teaming up the day after...

Memo From the Sports desk: Think B4 you Facebook Something Stupid Vol. 4

Here we go again. You can’t make this stuff up…well I wouldn’t anyway. Enresto the Iguana, who handles sports prognostication, security, and runner duties around here wanted to get all Medieval on people who were making it impossible to read my Facebook page because they post 48 times a day (really…I have three friends on that pace…)...

Turning Stone Casino Sent to the Garbage Heap Where it Belongs

The most grisly shuck in golf came to a delicious end today when PGA Tour officials essentially told the odious Turning Stone Casino that they are not good enough to host their own stand-alone tournament during the regular golf season. After failing to draw a major championship to their over-priced, under-designed chump-trap, and after failing to convince the Tour...

Porn Stars, Hookers Talking about Tiger Woods, but We’re not Listening

This week two different Jezebels that Tiger Woods unwisely let get too close have been passing out their tabloid-esque tabs of black acid to anyone dumb enough to stick out their tongue. Porn star and hooker Devon James and high-end prostitute Loredana Jolie (no relation to Angelina except in general decrepitness) have been trying to sell their stories but with less...

A Day of Smiles for Paula Creamer, Ian Poulter

No heavy lifting today: instead we’ll catch our breath before the Tour Championship and have a quick laugh and a smile. First, Paula Creamer took that grillion-dollar, mega-watt smile to the USAF and flew a mission over Oakmont Country Club. Steve DiMeglio of USA got the best assignment of the week. From his article: “Reaching speeds of 650 mph — and...

Dammit Jim, I’m a Doctor not an Alarm Clark – Furyk DQ’d From Barclays

Jim Furyk scared the hack out of Fluff Cowan and Slugger White when he – normally Mr. Reliable – overslept and missed his pro-am tee time and was disqualified from the Barclays. His #3 ranking in the FedEx Flop will drop to somewhere between 7-10. Hank Gola of the New York Daily News reports: From the article: Tour rules official Slugger White gave this...

Juli Inkster DQd by Fan Phone Call

Jay Busbee has the scoop on a fan calling in and busting Juli inkster for the hideous crime of using a swing donut on a club while waiting for a backup to clear. My favorite similar story is the time Virginia team golfer Buddy Patch took the Medicus into play by accident during his first round at a team event. Then he slurred an apology drunkenly to the team for...
