Top 10 Rejected Names for John Daly's Murder Rock Golf Club

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 09:14:51 -0500

The following Top 10 list is lifted from WaggleRoom.com. It concerns the fact that a golf club in Missouri has a marketing deal with John Daly to call the course John Daly's Murder Rock Golf Club. Now, Murder Rock is the place name of a Civil War-related site in Missouri. But if you're like me, you cringe a little when you see the combination of "John Daly" and "Murder Rock." Seems a bit of poor taste, given all John's problems.

Anyway, here's the list ...

PGA Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Wyndham Championship

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 07:08:49 -0500

Who should you start this week at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, NC? Well, of course Tommy D has that answer for you. But he goes above and beyond this week -- recommending at least one golfer in each group that you should sit as well.

10 Things You Need To Know About the PGA Championship

2008 PGA Championship Preview

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 18:19:33 -0500

The Last major of the year and while the PGA Championship holds far and away the least amount of luster of the 4 majors it still has the field and a lot of intrigue. This year the tourney heads to the great state of Michigan and to Oakland Hills a site typically used for US Opens in the past and the course where Andy North of ESPN won one of his majors.

4 People to Watch to Contend

The Aussie - Geoff Ogilvy - Given that Oakland Hills is typically utilized as a US Open course one could expect some of those that thrive on the hardest courses to thrive here. Additionally Ogilvy has three straight top ten finishes at the PGA Championship so he should be in the hunt come sunday.

Crazy Asian - KJ Choi - KJ held the lead in the Open and then completely disappeared. Over the last 4 years KJ has finished in the top 12 three times at the PGA Championship including 6th in 2004. He's always been a solid player and if he holds up this trophy it will not be surprising.

British Colored Pants - Ian Poulter - I'm a sucker for the Pink Pants. Do I really really think he can win? No, but if he's there on Sunday it means ridiculous outfits.

American Darkhorse - Steve Stricker - Stricker has played well in the last two majors including a 7th place finish at the British. In addition he's averaged a 15th place finish over the last two years at the PGA Championship.

3 People Who Might Surprisingly Miss the Cut

The Shocking - Padraig Harrington - Paddy doesn't historically play well at the PGA Championship and given his semi vacation after the Open Championship I would not be surprised if he didn't wind up playing on Saturday.

The Loudmouth - Rory Sabbatini - Once again we will continue to pick Sabbatini to miss the cut because I don't like him. (I got it right last Major)

The Gimmee - John Daly - I need to get one thing right, and well John Daly is really more interested in shot gunning 15 beers after the round than actually playing in the round.

2 People to Root For this Weekend

The People's Hated - Sergio Garcia - Come on, can't we all just cheer for a solid pair of red pants and the fifty second club wiggle for once? I mean last major he got outscored by his girlfriends father. I mean that's really got to be a kick in the groin. So maybe just maybe if people cheer for Sergio he could come through. (Perhaps he should make sure his scorecard is correct this year)

The Locale Boy - JJ Henry - This is standard, and if he's in a major he sits in the root for section.

1 Winner

Adam Scott - It's time for Scott to win a major. He's been around too long with only a TPC under his belt. He's got too much skill and too much potential to not get over the hump. This year is his year.

Dickie V Gets All The Cool Offseason Jobs

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:46:15 -0500

It's about time Dick Vitale stopped creeping into our Baseball coverage and got back to what he does best and that's pimping for Hooters. He's been in various commercials for the buxom restaurant and now he's judging their annual bikini contest!

One of FSN's most popular programs, the BEST DAMN HOOTERS SWIMSUIT PAGEANT, airs the 2008 contest on Sunday, August 24 at 9:00 PM, 11:00 PM and 12:30 AM local. More than 125 contestants battled it out for the title in front of such celebrity judges as BDSSP's John Salley, former NBA star Gary Payton, actor D.B. Sweeney, basketball analyst Dick Vitale and golfer John Daly

Hosted by Chris Rose, along with reporting from past winner Michelle Nunes, the annual pageant promises to be a huge hit.

Before the 2008 pageant kicks off, BDSSP offers up a behind-the-scenes look at the contest with the one-hour special, "BEST DAMN HOOTERS UNCOVERED," airing Thursday, August 21 at 9:00 PM, 11:00 PM and 12:30 AM local. Watch the girls as they prepare for the 2008 pageant, join them for photo shoots and rehearsals and get a real inside look at their activities, as BDSSP gives a camera to a different girl every night and has her capture her own footage. Plus, join the Hooters girls for a VIP pass to all of the parties and events leading up to the big contest.

Between hitting on Erin Andrews at a Rays game and this, Vitale can't be in good with his wife at the moment. Also, does the BDSSP ever do anything when attractive, scantily clad females aren't involved? I'm sure Chris Rose (the luckiest person on the planet) isn't complaining though.

Great Overweight Athletes

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:09:52 -0500

I reported yesterday that Broncos' right guard Montrae Holland reported to camp 9 lbs. overweight and has to shed the pounds before practicing with his team. Holland weighed 350-360 lbs. during the off-season, and lost a lot of it before reporting to camp. He has jeopardized his starting spot and his health. Here's a video of Holland explaining his condition. Some people might say that it's part of his job to stay in top physical condition even during the off-season. Do you see marathon runners smoking a pack a day during their off-season? Would you want to see your brain surgeon hungover the day before he/she preformed your surgery? Do you see your pilot boarding the plane drunk…, er, never mind. Anyway, I know football is just a game, but it is also a job for these guys. Just because they are professional athletes does not mean that they can choose when to deal with their responsibilities. Everyone (athlete or not) struggles with their weight at one point in their life for various reasons. We usually don't think of athletes as overweight, but many are right in the middle of a stellar career. So, I've decided to compose a list of the top overweight athletes in no particular order: 1. Charles Barkley - he was stout in his playing days too. How do you think a guy who's 6?4" got all those rebounds? 2. Babe Ruth - they didn't name a candy bar after him for nothing. 3. George Foreman - won a heavyweight belt and moved on to selling grills. 4. Shaquille O'Neal - constantly reported to camp overweight yet still has some rings. Shaq, tell me how your food tastes. 5. Sebastian Janikowski - thought he had to get a lot of weight behind his kicks. 6. Big Papi David Ortiz - much of his big paycheck goes towards groceries. 7. John Daly - athlete that is most proud of his physique. Plays golf without shirt probably because of the fried chicken stains. 8. Oliver Miller - another basketball player makes the list. He played his final season with the Timberwolves in 03?-04? at 325 lbs. 9. Most bowlers 10. Close to half the field in any competitive eating competition 11. Players in the regualr Nintendo's hockey game Whose got other suggestions?

An Open Letter to John Daly

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 08:48:16 -0500

John, I love ya. Every guy in America loves you. I think other than Ron Jeremy, you are the epitome of what the "everyday man" wants to be: You can drink like a fish, you're a little overweight and don't care, you party with chicks you're not supposed to get, and you have an enduring god given ability in a sport that involves walking and beautiful scenery. HOWEVER...

John Daly Shoots 89 on Friday, In Dead Last at British

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:12:26 -0500

If you're waiting for John Daly to turn his golf game around, you'll probably be hanging out alone for a while. John Daly finished in last place after an 89 that included a 9 on a par-4. For the former British Open champion, it has to be one of the worst points in his golfing career. This was Big John's third consecutive missed cut at the British Open.
