The Cons Of Tiger Woods
I’m sure no one would argue today that Tiger Woods has been a good thing for golf. I was in high school when he was just deciding to turn pro and subsequently whipping everyone else’s butts the second he did. This made it a lot more accessible to me as here was this guy only [...]
Where We Discuss The Handling Of H.S. Football Blowouts

U.S. Softball: The Lawn Grub of the Olympic Games’ Animal Kingdom
It stings. You just know it still stings.

No one questioned that the U.S. were the far superior team, but still … they flopped. And they didn’t just flop in the most recent Olympics, they flopped in possibly the sport’s last Olympics. It’s old news that the International Olympic Committee rid itself of the undercompetitive baseball and softball competitions for London’s 2012 Games. Why pick at old wounds?
