Tiger Woods Breaking His Silence on Friday

Judyth Piazza — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:54:38 +0000

Tiger Woods is finally ready to break his three months of silence by apologizing on Friday at 11 a.m. for a mere five minutes from the PGA’s headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

This is the first conference since crashing his SUV on Thanksgiving night.

What do you think this will accomplish? Will his fans forgive him?

Super Bowl III-Underdog Wins-New York Jets Upset Baltimore Colts, 16-7!

John Kays — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 16:51:43 +0000

Well, I have been trying to remember today which Super Bowl was my favorite one? I am rooting for the New Orleans Saints today, as I believe most Americans are. This is because most people like to root for the Underdog and because the city of New Orleans, almost five years after Katrina, could still use a little encouragement. Winning the Super Bowl will be helpful for their economy and will attract curiosity seekers to the Who Dat city who want to soak up its rich swagger of a Southern Culture.

The best Super Bowl to date? A no brainer! Super Bowl III in 1969 in Miami, January 12th to be exact, is the Greatest All Time Bowl. Ya should know…it was the New York Jets against the Baltimore Colts. That was the first win for the much maligned AFC, 16-7 in favor of the Jets. Broadway Joe was the star of the show;… surely you remember? Joe Namath made a controversial statement the Thursday before the game. “I got news for you. We`re gonna win the game. I guarantee it.”

I will link for you a very cool article from The Pro Football Hall of Fame, about Super Bowl III. Really, Namath had done his homework much better than the Colts for the game. He called the plays right off the line, knowing that the defense was going to over-blitz. Thus, he could throw quick screen passes and beat the line and mix it in with the running game. Watch the tape…

“We sent a message to all the underdogs out there. If you want something bad enough and you aren`t afraid to lay it on the line, you can do it. It`s an important message because if people don`t have hope, really, what do they have?” Joe Namath. Well, Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints is our Joe Namath today. GO SAINTS!

Orangutan picks Texas to beat Alabama tonight

John Kays — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 12:25:36 +0000

An orangutan picked up and devoured a treat filled papier-mâché effigy of Bevo at the Los Angeles zoo yesterday. This was a tell-tale sign that Texas will beat (yes, defeat) # 1 Alabama tonight for college football`s BCS National Championship. As a bonus, college football fans get a dollar off admission at the L.A. zoo (through Sunday) if they wear their favorite team paraphernalia. Whoop-di-doo!

The Eyes of Texas is the alma mater for the University of Texas. John Sinclair claims authorship of the song in 1903. The idea is that the people of Texas expect great things of their students once they graduate and go out into the ‘Real World’ (not turn into lazy hippies). Moreover, it`s claimed that the song has its origins in The U.S. Civil War where the courage of Hood`s Brigade impressed General Lee at the Battle of the Wilderness.

The song was sung to John Kennedy by school children also at a Fort Worth breakfast on November 22nd. This was an unfortunate performance of the Tejas classic. Anyway, the Eyes of Texas will be on the Rose Bowl tonight as a sea of burnt orange floods the TV screens of millions of lathered Americans. That orangutan, Bruno, is one smart cookie. HOOK UM HORNS!

OMG: Tiger Woods Pretended To Be Nerdy Innocent In Topless Bars

Robert Paul Reyes — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 15:52:32 +0000

Orlando-based Corona Cigar Co. said it is offering the embattled golfer a $100,000 endorsement deal.

That means the company is willing to have its name attached to a guy who isn’t even playing golf right now, so he can clean up his act and save his family.” Allison Walker/http://www.cfnews13.com/

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but when the skank crazy Tiger Woods is brandishing a cigar it can only be interpreted as a phallic symbol.
