Ladies- Bat Down The Hatches! Lock up your hard liquor, and your heart!
"I'm sure you [reporters] all know it has been difficult for me and sometimes I handle it better maybe than other times. But that stuff is in the past and I think I've got a great opportunity here for the future and would love to make the best out of it and have a nice, long career here in Chicago," Orton said.
Nobody likes a sore loser- but everyone likes a hyper masculine highly attractive sore loser!
This weekends CBS Broadcast of The PGA Players Championship in Vedra Beach, Florida; gives me a wonderful opportunity to give you some reasons that I LOVE Golf and YOU should too. Golf has traditionally been , like pretty much every sport, a boys club activity. When I first started playing, I was initially intimidated by this, but if I can learn to love it ( and become an OK golfer) you can too! 
First, Golf is easy to learn; unlike many sports it doesnt require super human speed or strength. Golf is a sport primarily of practice and concentration; which means men and women can play together, be fairly competitive, and have an enjoyable time! Golf is also a GREAT way to get out any stress or repressed anger you may have built up from the day, or from many years!! Come on- after a hard day going to a driving range and using a club to smack the crap out of somthing sounds pretty good right?
It's well known that the guy in your life totally appreciates when you take an interest in things he enjoys, like sports. Golf is a sport you can ACTUALLY PLAY with your significant other. Even better, if your a golf virgin; your guy will totally love helping to teach you how to play. Start slow by going on a date to the driving range and dinner! Think about it. How many times are you looking for FUN date ideas? you can only go to so many movies!! Golf is a SOCIAL sport, so if you don't have a guy, grab three friends. The Best Part About Golf is that the More the Merrier!
Another reason to love golf is that it is a sport of luxury and leisure. Now it is not pricey to get started playing, renting clubs and using a local public driving range is incredibly affordable. But if you plan on improving and expanding your golf experiences, it can cost you. Between clubs, greens fees etc.- if you want to do it right, golf is expensive. However, golf is one of the rare instances where you actually get what you pay for. Take a vaca for two at a golf resort; your talkin the BEST locations, the BEST food, the BEST accomodations, everything! Golf originated as a country club sport for a reason. However, because it is a sport of luxury, it is one of leisure as well. Only if the weather is mild will you break a tiny sweat playing golf- especially if your getting around in a golf cart. For excercise enthusiasts, you can always opt to walk the course. Either way, the pace of golf is such that your encouraged to take your time. Even better, you are encouraged to drink COPIOUS amounts of alcohol!! Golf is a sport that encourages you to truly enjoy yourself to the fullest!
IRL racing driver, adorable Danica Patrick, did sorta legally what women around the world have wished they could do a time are two; run over a man in her car. Durring a practice lap for the Indy 500; Danica's incoming car struck 23 year old crewman Charles Buckman while pulling into the pits. He was taken to the hospital with a concussion and cuts to his face and scalp. Danica's car was apparently heavily damaged, and so was her emotional state. A few hours after leaving the race track incredibly shaken she released this incredibly appropriate statement:

Bob 'Huggy Bear' Huggins, head basketball coach for West Virginia University. Coach Huggins is known for many things; leading the WVA. Mountineers to the third round of The 2008 NCAA Tournaments, being a fashion trendsetter, and hittin the bottle probably a little more frenquently than socially acceptable.
Quite Frankly I'd Rather Watch Kristi Yamaguchi On 'Dancing with The Stars' I like my shows on Ice with sequins, Thanks. 
In Addition, it seems NFL players are beginning to feel the pinch at the pump. But despite the abismal economy and sky rocketing gas prices; while professional athletes acknowledge the spike in gas, still have enough spare change to fill up the tank on their Escalades. 
'But let's not lose sight of the larger story: Tangible proof that the Pats systematically cheated their way through their dynasty, including one of its pivotal moments: The 2002 AFC championship game win over the Steelers, a 24-17 win by the Pats at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh that was a prerequisite for the Pats' subsequent championship over the Rams in the very same SB XXXVI. (The fundamental problem with bleating about how it is "old news" is it promotes cheating, knowing that if you aren't caught, the reward is far greater than the risk. What if the Pats were caught mid-game?) '
Yesterday another mascot bit the dust, literally. Cincinatti Red's very own 'Mr Redlegs' fell off the back of his golf cart suffering what looks to be some pretty severe head trauma. Now Deadspin is conducting it's own Law and Order investigation into many conspiracy theoris. Apparently, Mr. Redlegs may have not been as beloved as he appeared to be.
Because we were all dying to know, Rodger Clemens will not be representing the good ol' US of A on the Olympic Baseball team in Bejing. Shocking, YES. Apparently Olympic GM Bob Watson cites something to do with his groin and some injections of some sort:
Now the Dolphins had the blessing and curse of picking first in this years draft; selecting offensive tackle Jake Long. Apparently the Dolphins franchise and fanbase has been thusfar pleased with its little 57.7 million dollar investment in Long; however first round draft picks are known to suffer the greatest scruitny in rookie seasons for losing seasons, whether at fault or not- it's the expectations game.
despite a plethora of better college quarterbacks and missing out on a very highly ranked Brian Brohm by 1 pick ( I'm thinking of studly USC qb John David Booty, Tennessee's Erik Ainge, and Nebraska's Sam Keller) Henne had a dissapointing senior season at Michighan, suffering from ankle and knee problems as well as a pesky separated shoulder; as well as being unable to win the big one ( ie- any game against Wolverine arch nemisis THE Ohio State University) However, the Miami Dolphins are pretty hard up at the quarterback position, having started a very mediocre John Beck since they drafted him two years ago. revision from previous statement above. Hell, the Dolphins are pretty hard up. period. at every position. 
Last night Kobe Bryant recieved the NBA MVP award, and honor some have thought to be wayyy overdue for the Philadelphia product. Kobe's stunning wife and adorable daughters were on hand with flowers at center court. Say it with me now, AWWW! The script for Kobe last night could not have been written better; going on to score a whopping 34 points after recieving the MVP title.
It's actually UNC's very own Tyler Hansbrough. Yes, the media darling basketball dreamboat himself; trying to act like the colliegate he is, and jumping from the SAE frathouse. Now many more traditional media types would argue this is dissapointing reckless behavior from a man who has become the obsession of Dick Vitale and others for his unrelenting toughness and hard work. An additional photo of Tyler's UNC basketball gaurd teammate Bobby Frasor performing a similar stunt off the roof; no doubt to try and impress co-eds considered Tyler's leftovers. Now many are riled up that these two men attend The University of North Carolina for free, and in Tyler's case more likely; will go on to make millions off their bodies. Yes those bodies flying helplessly through the air with the greatest of ease!
In defense of Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman Darrion Scott; getting on reality shows is really tough these days with so many crazies wanting 15 minutes of fame. However, I'm pretty sure that attempting to cover your kid's head with a plastic bag WON'T get you a housecall from the SuperNanny, only police and child services. Darrion IS from West Virginia, which I believe in and of itself excuses a lot of innapropriate behavior.
