Moniker of the Day. Is there a more appropriately skewed nickname in sports than the Cincinnati Bungles? Talk about hard cheese. When it takes a miracle to beat the striped ones at Paul Brown Stadium, the miracle occurs.
Who Ya Got? Jay Cutler or Kyle Orton? Superstar whiner Cutler was 17-36 with a TD and — [...]

Guess which upper echelon hoops program nabbed the best junior forward in the land over the weekend? Ho hum, it’s the Tar Heels. The rich continue to get richer. Kid’s name is James McAdoo. That sure sounds familiar. I wonder if he’s relatedto . . .
No American man has made it to the quarter [...]

The Film Babe and I are going to see the late show of “In The Loop.” But it doesn’t start for another hour and a half. So here I am killin’ time, thinking about the world of sports.
Is Rachel Alexandra the sportsperson of the year?
My Detroit Tigers are 7 games up in the AL Central. [...]

. . . through the rough on the 17th at Turnberry, the third playoff hole.
Stewart Cink, a guy who has gagged himself in previous majors, is large and in charge with one hole to go in the playoff. Watson just muffed another short putt.
Cink has an insurmountable lead with only one hole to play.
The Fat [...]
So, yeah, we were all rooting for 59 year old Tom Watson to make that nine foot par putt on the 72d to win the British Open. (The Open, they call it, no adjective necessary.) Commentator Andy North said it was going to be in for the title.
Nope.
As every single one of us who ever [...]
. . . will it be: a) The greatest performance in the history of golf; b) The greatest performance in the history of sports; or c) Just plenty damn neat and inspiration to Old Farts everywhere with a nine iron and a dream?
Watson is currently tied with Lee Westwood and Aussie Mathew Goggin at minus [...]
Breakfast at Wimbledon is certainly the most famous of the European sporting events that, because of the time difference, we get to watch on the telly while munching on our cereal. But it’s not the only one.
Here it is a Thursday morning and there are actually choices to be made.
While reading about the latest Karen [...]
The PGA Championship shall return to Valhalla in 2014. It’s a done deal, despite the delay in the announcement and the brouhaha erupting between competing groups in the city over the leak of the info last week.

But hey, we run his picture anyway, because that’s what we do with sports these days: Show the Stars!
Frankly I could care less about golf. Especially watching golf on TV.
Except, of course, for the majors. Which I watch because I’m a sports fan. And because I need to keep this blog breathing until football practice [...]
First of all, understand, I’m not doing this to be mean. The individual and team I rooted for both lost. So it’s not like I’m trying to pile on. (I gotta do something to keep you readers involved.)
It’s just that I can’t recall two such monumental meltdowns in sporting contests that mattered within the same [...]
