Year after year the winning score in the U.S. Open hovers around par. The week before the U.S. Open and the week after the U.S. Open and, hell… any other week during the year, the winning score demolishes par.

OK, I just heard “It’s a game of inches” used on the X-Games Skiing Men’s Super Pipe. Now, I’ve officially heard “It’s a game of inches” in every sport I’ve ever seen.

It’s 2008. Football at any level, even high school, is huge money. Can’t they get kickers the same color shoes by now?
Nike will make anything for anybody. Why won’t they make a kicking shoe the same color as the other shoe. Why don’t they sell kicking shoes in pairs - one shoe that has the […]
I’m jumping the gun, it’s only Saturday night and the standings won’t be released until tomorrow afternoon. But give me a break, Virginia Tech will not get it’s due because of the hype surrounding LSU and the SEC.
The facts:
Virginia Tech and LSU both won their conference championships today
Georgia couldn’t even get into the conference championship […]
I watch a ton of football. I’m watching it right now. USF vs. Rutgers. Some dude just returned a kick and got hit with what seemed to be a routine tackle except for the fact the guy’s helmet went flying off and he had to high tail it to the sideline before certain death from […]
Most golf courses prohibit walking a course during certain hours. Courses require golfers to rent a golf cart. But you probably knew this anyway.
What’s the complaint? Believe it or not, I’m not complaining that you have to rent the golf cart instead of being able to walk the course, that’s a complaint that goes without […]
If you’ve listened to sports radio for any amount of time longer than 5 minutes, you’ve surely heard one of those sports betting expert commercials where somebody tries to dupe you into a phone call to get the sure-fire lock game of the week. The lock game is usually so good they’re going to give […]
I just turned on the Steelers game and thought for a second they might have a new sponorship deal with French’s or Gulden’s Mustard.
You would be hard pressed to come up with a less intimidating sports color than yellow. Nothing says, “Steel Curtain - I’m gonna smack you all up and donwn the field, better […]
I don’t know what you really call those annoying things that span the entire width of the screen during NFL and college football games but I call them the score bars.
My biggest complaint about the score bars? I don’t need them spread across the whole damn screen the entire game. The score might change once […]
Here we go again. USC ranked number 1 in virtually every preseason college football poll for the umpteenth year in a row.
My biggest complaint about it? The PAC-10.
The PAC 10 should not even be a conference included in the BCS. Some high schools in Texas could beat half the teams in the PAC-10. Besides the […]
Before you dive for the comment form and brand me a sexist idiot, give me 30 seconds and hear me out. This complaint has nothing to do with the quality of the reporting of the female sideline reporters; the good ones are good and the bad ones are bad just like any other reporting.

I wasn’t sure whether to file this complaint as “My Biggest Complaint About Barry Bonds’ Record Breaking Home Run” or “My Biggest Complaint About Long Baseball Pants”. The complaint is really the same anyway you look at and I would have probably attracted more attention complaining about Barry’s home run instead of the pants Barry […]
Of all the things to ruin your career with - dog fighting? WTF? This is a civilized nation, Mike.
Steroids? Sex? DUI’s? Each almost understandable. Hanging dogs that won’t fight, drowning dogs that won’t fight, well … don’t even think about taking a jury trial.
Dog fighting, Mike? I just don’t get it. You could have any […]
Don’t tell me you did {insert tremendous poundage} in a leg press at the gym. Let me see you do the leg press and then I’ll tell you whether or not you actually did a “leg press”. We’ll worry about the weight later.

Pro golfers rarely lose a ball. They’re pros after all. Oh, and they have several thousand onlookers to help them locate an errant tee shot, not to mention all kinds of television cameras, a blimp, caddies, course marshals and volunteers trying to help them locate the ball.

I was one of the people who gave Barry Bonds the benefit of the doubt for a long time. “Barry’s a jerk”, “Barry’s on steroids”, “Barry’s an idiot” . . . not from me. I was one of the people who held back just a little, even when Barry’s head size shot through the roof.

@ "it is really about the cash however", thank you. Somebody that gets it. Finally! To add credence to the BCS conspiracy plot put forth in your comment, and yes, it is really about the cash however, don't forget the fact that the only two conferences with BCS tie-ins that don't have conference championships are the PAC 10 and Big 10. What better way to protect a "system is designed to match up Ohio State and USC every year" than to have one less chance for either of these two teams to get beat by their closest rivals and ruin the master plan of the BCS.

@mr.squeaky, I'm just thinking out loud as to possible reasons, sarcastically of course. But there is an obvious connection between the bicep band wearers and the glove wearers. I stick by the 99% figure on that one. Regarding my avatar, that was taken when I was in shape. I didn't sweat much back when I was in shape. I didn't really have to do anything to get that look - it was just kind of a gift, so I couldn't really say as far as excessive sweat. I do have to work to maintain the look now and I sweat doing that. I will say I've let myself go a little. I've lost a step or two and my 40 yard dash has dropped back to 4.9. I'm only benching about 380. That's my fault and I admit it. And before you ask, no, I do not use bicep bands as part of my current training routine.
On Bicep Bands at 2007-10-08 15:28:28
99% of the guys in the NFL wearing bicep bands also wear gloves. Apparently, the sweat is so voluminous that it permeates the gloves and renders them useless. Obviously it is necessary to cut the sweat flow off at the bicep so the gloves don't get slooshy.

Notre Dame 20 - UCLA 6. You missed a great game Frank85. I had to pay 20 bucks to get it in a game day package, but it was worth it. Sorry you missed it.

I'm sitting here watching a football game and all of a sudden these damn cows are parachuting into a football stadium. The announcer even says, "I'm not sure if this is a protest stunt...". There's your "increasing militancy". Now the cows are staging protests parachute landings at major sporting events. As if the protest stunt wasn't bad enough, one of the paratrooper bovines lands on the burger vendor in the stadium and knocks over all the burgers. DO NOT MESS WITH THE BEER GUY, THE BRAT GUY, THE DOG GUY OR THE BURGER GUY... in that order.

I agree with you completely slappy, so much so this complaint inspired me to post this one about the sports betting expert guys that do basically the same thing. @DBlock, you're right about the slow pace of investing, but the feeling I'm getting from slappy is that this is a usual thing, month in and month out. How good and how different can things get month to month if you're in it for the long haul anyway?
On My Financial Advisor at 2007-09-25 20:11:55
I think these "these multimillionaire dollar princesses" know a helluva lot about going into a "hostile environment". Although as you said macaddict, it's just a game, the game is one of the most "hostile environments" in all of sports. I agree with slappy.

One other argument I've heard is that this is "blown out of proportion" because it is Michael Vick and the media is looking to track the downfall of, arguably, the most exciting black athlete in current sport. Again, not so. Ask Paris Hilton about things that get "blown out of proportion". If you think Michael Vick pleading guilty to dog fighting seems like a big deal, how about if Peyton Manning were charged with such an inhumane crime? If anything, one wonders if this whole thing is somehow less traumatic because Mike is black and as others have said, has street credibility Kobe only wishes he could have, so something like this can be written off as "I'm not surprised".

It's too bad there isn't some agency you could contact to investigate these prospective business partners like this. This sounds like a real headache. I'm glad you turned me onto this because it's really made me think twice about opening my own

Whoever comes after us will wonder how we could build such fantastic buildings and fly through the air with such little minds, but yet build something to keep our beer cold that lasts only 10 minutes until, as said earlier, "the fat guy leans on the cooler". And yes, that'd be me, thank you very much.

archer and nudeanncoulter (nudeanncoulter, you're hot even to democrats), you're both right, sort of. The two just don't go together. Dump the reporting or dump the music. Make up your mind. If Fox had NPR's music, I'd be saying the same thing. It's just not newsy.
