Just a few years ago, Tiger Woods was on track to shatter Jack Nicklaus’ record for most majors thanks to his incredible golf skills and Arnold Palmer’s record for the most drinks named after him thanks to a lucrative deal with Gatorade.  Now, he may be on his way out of golf.  Tiger Woods withdrew from The Players Championship at Sawgrass after nine holes, citing a knee injury.  The same knee, it must be said, that he had surgically repaired not too long ago.

“I was just trying to draw that ball out there just a little bit. I pushed forward, and you know it just didn’t feel good,” said Woods of his injury.   “The knee acted up and then the Achilles’ followed after that and then the calf started cramping up.  Give me a few days to see what the docs say, and we’ll take a look at it.”

It was Woods’ first swing after a period that included no practice for almost an entire month.  A month without golf?  No wonder his body started bothering him!  I have news for you, Tiger.  You’re into your 30’s now; that means your body is going to start breaking down and when you resume an activity after a long time off?  You’re going to feel it physically.  Old age happens to everyone; you just have to gut it out and be a man, or admit you’re too old and be a smart man who sells shoes.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
