PGA Dresses Down John Daly for Golfing Topless A video of John Daly golfing in Branson, Mo., with no shirt or shoes has prompted this response from PGA Commissioner Tim Finchem: "There are certain things about presentation that we must insist on."

Anyone who's ever actually been to Branson knows better than to take this too seriously. Sure, sure, sure, decorum, being a professional and all that but seriously to make a stink over this when it happened on course he owns in a redneck backwater....please. It's like getting pissed at Wolfgang puck for eating fries at McD's while driving cross country.
Besides, when I read the thread title, my first thought was that Daly had made some crack about ladies golfing topless...

Harrison asked about shooting Indianapolis Colts star receiver Marvin Harrison was interviewed by police about a shooting near his North Philadelphia car wash this week.
posted to Football at 7:32 AM CDT
Update: they have matched shell casings from HIS gun to the shooting and found the gun in a bucket at the car wash he owns.
Unless Marvin left his gun for his employees (a bonehead move in its own right) he's got some trouble headed his way.

Unbeaten Big Brown comes through to win Kentucky Derby. Big Brown backed up his trainer's boasts with an explosive finishing kick and won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, a commanding victory turned somber by the fatal breakdown of the filly Eight Belles on horse racing's biggest day.

Exactly Howard. And the distances in the triple crown too much for a yearling to handle.
Tragic that such a beautiful animal will utterly spend itself for just one race.

BCS officials reject playoff proposal Bowl Championship Series officials rejected a plan Wednesday to turn the much-criticized system for deciding a national champ into a four-team playoff. The BCS format will remain the same until at least the 2014 season.

They also knew that as it was presented it had no chance of any serious consideration. There will have to be some pretty serious non-biased, non-converence specific oversight before this gets anywhere. In which case, yeah, anyone reading this will probably be dead of old age or too senile to remember.

Great read. I would have rather learned about it on ESPN. Maybe some day.

This is my #1 draft pick... Well maybe a little lower than first. Size, strength, aggressiveness, quickness. With a little help on his technique, he could be an excellent offensive lineman.

And the trolls began circling. Some will mention that the art of Sumo is sacred in Japanese culture and that its participants are not only respected but revered. Others will pick nits that this has no business being posted to Football. Others will call you a racist. Finally, others will offer coaching tips on agility and blocking techinques. The latter might be amusing, but you asked for the rest.

Somehow I knew my post the other day would bite me in the ass.
Now if they could only get Ricky Henderson back, with Sweeney and Thomas they would become the Geriatric Musketeers.
All kidding aside, to pick him up for the prorated league minimum, it may not have been a bad move.

Pacman gives Dallas Cowboys a dual threat: This is what Pacman Jones can bring to the Dallas Cowboys on the field if he plays in 2008: A playmaker on defense as a cornerback and on special teams.

Newsflash: The Dallas Cowboys have changed their colors to black and white horizontal pinstripes. The National Anthem will be replaced by 'Bad Boys', and military fly overs will be replaced by police helicopters from all the surrounding jurisdictions. In a related move, the famed Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders will be offering lapdances at $100 a pop and private suites will be replaced by champagne VIP rooms.
When pressed for an explanation for the moves, a Cowboys representative, who chose to remain anonymous, replied: We wanted our players to feel at home.

Hawkyguy, you and I are probably neighbors, both went to KU at the same time and are both big local sports fans. There is nothing scary going on anywhere near Truman Sports Complex at game time. Too many cops.
And, to get back on topic, cops are something the Dallas metro area is going to need more of with Pac-Daddy on the way.
Local strip clubs have begun bullet-proofing their walls and issuing kevlar g-strings to the 'dancers'.

Thanks sportzblitz. I forgot to mention that in the earlier press release.
When asked for his thoughts on the new direction the team is headed, Pacman Jones smiled through his grill and replied: 'As long as there's strippers, call me Big Daddy when you back that thing up'.
Also, as it relates to players' defense in ongoing civil and criminal litigation, all fans will be required to submit a DNA sample before entering the stadium. While DNA is 99.9+% accurate, the organization feels that this increases the odds of an exonerating sample thus freeing their players to focus on football.
We'll keep you aprised of further developments as they are released.

Pink Balls used for the first time in cricket. A trial to see if a single type of ball is suitable for all forms of the game.

Don't forget golf balls in the glorious assortment of day glow: pink, yellow, orange and green. I believe Slazenger introduced a baby blue ball in their women's line as well.

I have to respect that she did it without making a year long production out of it. She's got more money than she can spend in three lifetimes, good she should enjoy it. I say, be well and enjoy your retirement.
