Force makes history as first female Funny Car winner Another woman winning in a major auto sport. I think it is even better since she beat her dad in the finals. Congratulations Ashley.

Numbers prove Nelson is still King of the Wild Maybe this is the one way to figure out who is best no matter when they played.

More Bad Noose for Pro Golf Although the story appeared to be dying down after the Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman apologized to Tiger Woods for her "lynch him" remark, Golfweek has just thrown gas on the fire with its cover story and illustration.

Woods closes out the year with a seven-shot win Okay, the guy takes 10 weeks off and still wins by 7 shots. And what's the deal with Rory Sabbatini?

3,494 and counting. The baseball-seeking savant from Manhattan has tricks galore to help him snare a prized souvenir at a major league game, like lowering his glove on a string to pluck up a ball resting far below on the warning track during batting practice. Or his “fumbling with a slice of pizza” ploy to sneak past an usher and move closer to the dugout.

Barry Bonds offers to play for free.
My opinion on Bonds is no secret, however I noticed this tidbit in the paper yesterday and have been meaning to post about it. Barry Bonds' agent has offered his services to all 30 teams, at a pro-rated salary of the league minimum (at this point, about $200,000 total), even offering to play for free by donating that salary to buying tickets for the game; his trial date isn't until next March, so he would not be prevented from playing.
Despite this, apparently Barry's agent has received no interest, bolstering claims that the league is colluding to prevent him being hired.

Barry isn't the only guy who can't get a job because of steroids. The former Oriole (who's name slips my mind) hasn't found a job either. I'm sure there are others as well. All of this is because of Barry's name and name only. Collusion? Try common sense. Every owner knows what they get with Barry. Why would you want that distraction?
Get over it Barry. You had your run. It's over. Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, Good-Bye!!!!

Let's Play the Feud! On Sunday night's broadcast, Joe Morgan suggested (once again) Ernie Banks' career statistics were inflated by the "basket" in Wrigley's outfield. This being Joe Morgan, the basket was installed in Banks' final year with the Cubs and accounted for, at most, 6 of 512 career home runs. This being Joe Morgan, Cubs fans will have to get in line behind a number of computers before they hear an apology.

The next thing you'll hear from Joe is that the wind was a major factor as well. Come on Joe, quit being so angry and enjoy life.

Who is going to replace Tiger Woods? Say, did you hear Tiger Woods is out for the year? Some folks have been talking a little bit about it here and there. Anyhoo, Tiger's absence from the last half of 2008 means there's suddenly a vacancy on the U.S. Ryder Cup team. Who's going to get the nod? We offer up some potential choices:

"That could be a stress fracture. I'm afraid you forfeit. Right Lou?" "Right Judge. Unless you let him have a substitute." "Uh, Spalding can play out his holes." "I think we get to pick our subsititute Judge. We'll take Danny Noonan."

Scott Kalitta killed in crash at Englishtown. The NHRA said the 46-year-old Kalitta — the 1994 and 1995 Top Fuel season champion who had 18 career victories, 17 in Top Fuel and one in Funny Car — was taken to Raritan Bay Medical Center in Old Bridge, where he died a short time later. (Video)

The orginal explosion is something that is common in drag racing. It has to do with wheel spin, the timing getting out of whack, and it explodes. Since those cars don't stop well without the aid of the parachutes, I can understand why he couldn't stop. What a lot of people don't know is, the gas tank is in the front of the car. It was the first thing that hit at the end of the track.
You will be missed Scott.

Tiger Woods reportedly to miss rest of season Tiger Woods will miss the rest of the season because of a left knee that will require more surgery, a person with knowledge of the decision said Wednesday.

Here is another story on Tiger having season ending surgery. You know the television networks just died hearing this news. The only person who was glad to hear the news was Phil. He might have a chance to beat Tiger now. Notice I said, "might"?

Imagine what Tiger could have done this year based on what he's done so far. He has 5 wins, 1 second, and 1 fifth place finish. It could have been one of the greatest years ever. I guess we'll never know now. I'm already looking to next year to see how he comes out of the gate. I'm expecting a year that would have put this one to shame. Grand Slam maybe?

Blind bowler, The Hammer, rolls 300 game
posted to Other at 2:51 PM CDT
I wonder if he can tell by the sound the ball makes when he rolls if it is a good throw.
Being a bowler, the ball sounds the same no matter how you throw it. The bowling alley would have to be pretty quiet to even hear the ball on the lane to begin with. He can tell by the way he releases the ball. He'll feel that through his fingers, hand, and arm swing.
It is an incredible feat. I have never thrown a 300. The best I've done is 288. I can't imagine doing that with my eyes closed. Even though there are some nights I feel like I'm bowling blind.

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 will eventually cave in as long as their are situations like Boise State, Georgia, and Hawaii that come up just about every year. The public outcry will be too much for them to ignore any longer.
We all know they can come up with an 8 or 16 team playoff system using the bowl games they have now. It might have to be a revolving type thing like they have now but that isn't so bad. The bottom line is $$$$$$$$$$. They have to figure out a way where they can make even more of it with a playoff system. When they do, the system will change.

If you put in a system that gives teams a chance to win a national championship even though they lose a game here and there, all the money that was going to the schools for these huge regular season games shrinks.
Didn't LSU lose a game this past year?

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.

I had completely forgotten that tennis balls were white at one point.
Back in the old rubber balls days, every bowling ball was black.

Cheerleader death renews calls for increased safety steps. "Figures show 50 percent of injuries to young women in high school athletics are from cheerleading," [state Rep. Peter J. Koutoujian, chairman of the Public Health Oversight Committee] said. "These girls don’t wear pads, and they’re pushing the boundaries at every turn. While the boys' sports, contact sports, get all the attention, there's a great deal of injuries these young women endure."
