Here by the sea and sand Nothing ever goes as planned… — The Who — HAVEN, WI – Not to take anything away from Germany’s Martin Kaymer, a worthy champion and a great rising star, but we’ll forever remember the defining moment of the 2010 PGA Championship as Dustin Johnson’s careless mistake grounding his club in a bunker on the...
I just got off the phone with a former rules official who tells me he would have been aggressive about reminding Dustin about that being a bunker, but that’s 20-20 hindsight. In today’s piece, I call out the broadcast for misleading viewers, but also Dustin, a guy I covered from his college days at Coastal Carolina. From the article: Let’s get...
HAVEN, WI – U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Corey Pavin stood his ground against sports broadcaster Jim Gray of Golf Channel yesterday in a heated, confrontational exchange in the PGA Championship media center. Responding to Gray and Golf Channel’s claims that Pavin had decided to offer Tiger Woods a Captain’s pick should Woods fail to secure an automatic...
The self-immolation of Tiger Woods continues at a frenetic pace, with little likelihood of relief until at least April 2011. After his third consecutive clueless round well over par, his rude and surly dismissal of no less a personage than Larry Dorman, the writer for the New York Times, is Exhibit A that Woods’s definition of “making my behavior more...
Here’s some video that qualitatively shows exactly how far along Tiger Woods is in trying to show more respect for the game and why suckers…sponsors should throw money at him without asking any questions. Nice to see that he’s really learned something from his scandal and fall, and that he’s devoted to avoiding all the mistakes he made in the...
This is getting ridiculous…every five minutes someone else puts up the amount Elin will get from Tiger in divorce settlement, and everyone scrambles to relay the benediction. Then two days later the story gets debunked. So now according to multiple sources – who may ne right or just as wrong as the last bunch of bumbling chumps – she’s only...
So after all the crying, yelling, accusing, posturing, and denying, Floyd Landis admitted it. He admitted he was every bit the lying, no-good steroid cheat we knew him to be. Fox News and Sports reports that Landis decided to firebomb. If he’s going down, so are the rest of the cheaters. He’s forgotten that nobody likes a snitch, but he must feel he has...
The Daily News and New York Post report on the details – sans names – of Dr. Galea giving out Actovegin and HGH. At least 23 pro athletes — most of them NFL and MLB players — are suddenly petrified. “ESPN has now obtained documents relating to Galea out of Canada, and while there are no names in the documents, this is the kind of thing...
Move over, Jesper Parnavik. Someone else wants a piece of Tiger Woods. Proving that if you’re going to kill the sacred cow, you might as well get a burger or two out of the deal, Stephen Ames fires this full broadside at him, most likely in response to that epic 9 & 8 beatdown from the Match Play “Who really cares if he comes back and kicks our...
Some news and notes sidebars: After the world made parody video after parody video, including this hilarious one of his mom saying what we all wanted to, Nike has pulled the Earl Woods ad. Nike head werewolf Phil knight liked the ad saying it got everyone talking…yeah, the same way they would if you wore your dirty wifebeater to church./ Just because we were...
Soooooooooo…the lugnuts running the grisly shuck called the “Tavistock Cup” tried to bully a journalist – and the president of the Met Golf Writers. It seems that the Tavistock Cup wouldn’t let Ron Sirak of Golf Digest cover their non-event because he wouldn’t wear a shirt of one of the teams and cowtow to the event’s gross...
Steve Czaban asks some pointed questions to the Florida Highway Patrol – and by implication the people supposed to turn over Tiger’s blood and the surveillance tapes from the fateful night…
Sounds a little like the South Park episode Wednesday: “Oh dude, here come the cops. We have to lie to them. Hit “x” to lie…”
The hits keep coming for John Daly. Hot on the heels of harassing a news reporter, he has a second war brewing with Calloway, the company that rescued his career years ago so he could flush it even further. To show his gratitude, Daly brought all conversation – polite and otherwise – to a screeching halt by alleging they made him take Paxil and other...
Alleging harassment and cyberstalking, among other malfeasance, the Golf Writers Association of America has formally asked the PGA Tour to suspend John Daly for his vengefully publishing a sports writer’s phone number and encouraging his fans to harass him. Make no mistake, Daly is immature at best, dangerously anti-social and unhinged at worst. His conduct in...
While a list of names is not yet available, according to Sports Illustrated, “Federal law enforcement officials have alerted a number of world-class athletes to expect grand jury subpoenas in the case against Canadian physician Anthony Galea, three sources familiar with the investigation tell SI.com. While it is unclear which athletes and how many will be...
