BOISE, ID – NASJA, the North American Snowsports Journalists Association, will host a meeting and party at New Hampshire’s Black Mountain March 8-10, 2026. This marks one of the first times since Covid that snowsports writing’s most historic and venerable body will hold an on-mountain confab. NASJA brass and rank-and-file members have all been eager...
Having been, at various times, both the celebrity in the pro am as well as a player, I can attest to the bedlam, mayhem, and chaos a pro am round can devolve to. I once watched a guy playing in a pro-am in Jamaica smack a stone tee marker in front of him, (a giant tiki…decorative and festive, but bad idea for a tee marker) and had the ball catapult into the...
If you needed any more proof that Tiger Woods is still getting free passes from the media, the deafening silence by the golf media on the day he pleaded guilty in his DUI case was concrete proof. “Looking haggard in a black suit and white T-shirt, the golf legend entered the plea to reckless driving through his lawyer at court in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.”...
If you want the truth about what’s happening in the darker corners of the sports world, Phil Mushnick of the New York Post should be a daily stop. Today he skewers Nike’s entire Tiger Woods-fueled lunacy that led to their demise. From the article: “Nike was barking up the wrong money tree. Golfers aren’t as impressionable or as vulnerable as...
Photo credit: BarStool Sports HAVEN, WI – Tiger Woods’s PGA Championship press conference wasn’t over for five minutes before every alert on my cell phone and computer started going off: Twitter, Facebook, text messages, I think the only thing that didn’t ring was my LinkedIn account. The Internet was ablaze, discussing my question to Tiger in...
Tiger apologists are high-fiving each other in the streets following the announcement earlier today that Woods is parting ways with coach Sean Foley…one day after one of Foley’s other high-profile charges won the Barclay’s and took the lead in the FedEx Cup standings. “With my next tournament not until my World Challenge event (Dec. 1-7) at...
It’s yet another victim of the modern, digital age: Golf World magazine will no longer be available in print. The magazine, one of the flagships in sports, will be all-digital as of next Monday. Dating back to 1947, it was the oldest continuously running golf magazine in America. Sadly, watch for everyone else to follow suit soon. Happily, they’ll still...
Woods doesn’t grow golf…he only grows the watching of golf on TV – that’s the premise of Marino Parascenzo’s excellent Cybergolf article this month. Fabulous job – especially now when everyone is jumping in Tiger’s lap and making little cooing sounds in his ear, just begging him to come back and make everything the way it was...
Deer Antler Spray! What will they think of next? Is there no end to the cheating? Is there no end to the depths to which cheaters will plumb? Remember Motoman? Lance Armstrong’s motorcycle buddy who passed out the team’s white lunch bags? That had PEDs hidden inside??!! Between the bottom burger patty and the bottom bun? Now we have Vijay Singh –...
While I finish up some work from Fallen Oak G.C., Beau Rivage Resort and Casino, and Biloxi, MS, here’s former MLB commissioner Fay Vincent, taking steroid cheats and ESPN steroids apologists to the woodshed. Bud Selig and Timid Tim Finchem, take notice: you need a clue on steroids. From the article: The Hall should make clear the voters are not obliged to...
While we finish up some serious U.S. Open prep work, get ready for the Travis Invitational at Garden City and the Anderson Team event at Winged Foot, and continue our Architect’s Progress Series, here’s proof that Ron Artest is still the same jerk he was before changing his name to Metta World Peace. How about changing your name again to something more...
This photo purports to show the absolutely insane ball flight of Bubba Watson’s screaming hook that finally put Louis Oosthuizen away at the 2012 Masters. (Photo from Chris Chappell, blue-line drawing supposedly via MSPaint.exe from Watson’s caddie based on where he thought they were.) Apparently what’s really going on is that this was a bad guess...
Hysterical! We all should do this! So while I finish the Tallgrass piece, here’s the Video of the Week…or in the Browns’ case, WEAK!
You’d think all he did was get a DUI or something the way everyone swept 121 skanks under the rug like so much pocket lint. Still, with Hank Haney’s/Jaime Diaz’s book coming out tomorrow, I’m sure there’ll be more than a share of distractions/discussions about things other than swing changes and “tweaked” ligaments. In a Ryan...
Warren Sapp is basically fotballs rejoinder to Charles Barkley: loud, ugly, and stupid. He’s great fr casual eyeballs and the “all-important” gang-punk demographic. But Sap may finally have hit the chamber with the bullet in it. As a sports and entertainment lawyer, I deal with slander/libel cases all the time, especially when the information is...
