Tiger Woods takes home the AT&T National, his third win of the year.

A day after storms ripped through Bethesda, Maryland, and the debris forced Congressional staff to keep out fans due to safety issues, Tiger Woods would not be denied.  With fans in attendance and golfers swinging away, Tiger Woods took control at the AT&T National.  Firing a -2 69 final round, Tiger Woods claimed his 74th career tournament and broke his tie for second place on the all-time PGA Tour wins list.  Woods is now 8 tournament victories back from Sam Snead and one better than Nicklaus, though he still trails Nicklaus on the all-time majors win list.

Still, Bo Van Pelt didn’t make it easy for the first three-time winner on the PGA Tour this year.  Three times, Woods took a lead only to see Van Pelt tie him.  Still, at the end of the day, Woods was atop the leader board.  The win also puts Woods at the top of the PGA Tour money list for the year; he currently stands at 4th on the tour standings.  Not bad for a guy most people were writing off as done a few months ago.

“He’s an amazing player,” admitted Van Pelt.  “We’ve known each other a long time, probably 20 years.  He’s fun to play with.  That’s why you travel 30 weeks a year, why you get up in the morning and you the sacrifices that you do, to have the opportunity to play the best player in the world in the final round with a chance to win.”

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.
