August 24th, 2010 · 16 Comments
This is one of the most despicable things I have seen in a while.
As we all unfortunately know, golfer Erica Blasberg died earlier this year, from what we now believe to be suicide. Whenever a young person dies, it is always a tragedy, and for some reason this case seems particularly so, maybe due to [...]

John Daly has a point
January 8th, 2010 · No Comments
As most of you know by now, John Daly was denied (aka ‘not given’) an exemption to this year’s Bob Hope Classic. He was apparently pretty upset by the decision, going so far to call it a slap in the face.
