I’m tired — tired of hearing that I should ‘leave Tiger alone’ — tired of hearing that he ‘needs his privacy’ — tired of being told ‘others are doing far worse, bother them’ — Listen, Tiger is a Kagillia-Billionaire, and he owes damn-near ALL of it to his (previous) marketability. So let me get this [...]

Last week I was writing about the Greatest Sports Rivalries of All Time.  This was in terms of Team vs Team rivalries.  But that got me thinking….there are some fantastic Individual Sports Rivalries, as well.  So, as I’m wont to do, I’ve created my Top 5 Individual Sports Rivalries of All Time list:
1) Muhammad Ali/Joe [...]

A lot of cricket, tennis hits its only time in the sun in this country, some guys ride bikes and some other things. It’s the view!

It’s the best of the Noughties in Australian sport! Countdown 25 to 1 and see what I thought was Australia’s crowning sporting moment!

Tyler Durden: i am ordering chinese for lunch and i’m going to eat it at my desk as a sort of middle finger to those around me.
Marc Bulger: nice
Tyler Durden: has anybody ever dropped some serious science at their desk and then about 2-3 seconds later had somebody come up to your desk to talk [...]

A shorter view this week with lots of cricket, some more soccer-baiting, and the list of winners from the AFI Awards.ed). A short view.

Taking a page from the New York Yankees Steroid Book, Tigers Woods released the below statement about his extra-marital affairs without saying he actually did it:
I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family [...]

Cricket is everyhwere, and Riot City Wrestling went off! Plus cars and rugby and even some praise for golf. Yes, it’s View 68!

Tailgate Crashers is going to be running a “Current Top Athlete Tourney”. It will be held in the same fashion as the NCAA Tourney – 64 athletes. The TGC staff will determine the 64 and arrange the seeds from the athletes picked by our readers. All voting will occur on the Inside [...]

Friday, July 31st, Tiger Woods said his drives were “on a string”, in other words, straight. He shot a 9 under par 63.
I don’t have the stats, but it seems to me that most of Tiger’s wayward shots (other than Friday when he was uncharacteristically on with his drives) are off the tee.
Monday, August [...]

Recent Trends in TTM
I’ve looked across the web to see what players have been signing and what players have been sending stuff back unsigned. The numbers following the info (1/2 for instance) show how many were signed and how many were sent. I tried to list how long they took if a date [...]

It’s been a tough few weeks down here in the land of Aus. But there’s always sport to take your mind off the mind-numbing realities of nature at her worst. Scores and not a whole lot more. But you can help. See the Red Cross.

ANother week, another view. John Daly makes headlines, AFL is in the news in the off-season, cricket dominates our thinking, and basketball has another crisis. Just another week in Australian sport!

21 today! 21 today! Scores, cricket rankings, a book review, more scores, whingeing and I actually mention golf. That’s the view!

20 of these babies! Wow! Well, in this one I give the scores (as I am supposed to) and also a review of the latest local wrestling show. And I continue to whinge about John Daly and Australian cricket. What’s not to tolerate?

This week I whinge about golf in Australia, cricket in Australia and politics in Australia. I’m getting good at whingeing! But it has been a mildly interesting week in Australian sport, so come on in…

Anthony Kim and Camilo Villegas are now paid-up members of the European Tour. Two of the hottest young golfers on the planet, who might be the participants in the Next Great Rivalry as soon as the 2009 Presidents’ Cup, are, in golf fans’ minds, taking a step down.

After years of controversial dalliances with men’s and women’s professional tours around the globe, it looks like Michelle Wie is about to settle down and do the practical thing.
She’s finally entering LPGA Qualifying School — not like she had many options.

ST. LOUIS — For three years, Camilo Villegas managed to make a name for himself without winning.
He was the young Colombian with model good looks and chic clothing, limber enough to strike a pretzel-shaped pose on the green to read putts, earning him the nickname “Spider-Man.” Trouble was, not many of those putts went [...]

Under increasing criticism, the LPGA Tour on Friday backed off plans to suspend players who could not efficiently speak English at tournaments.
LPGA Tour commissioner Carolyn Bivens said she would have a revised plan by the end of the year that would not include suspensions for players unable to speak English in pro-ams, trophy presentations or [...]

ST. LOUIS — The first round of the BMW Championship has been washed out by steady rain that has deluged Bellerive Country Club, adding to the string of bad luck for golf in St. Louis.
Tournaments officials hope to begin the third playoff event Friday.

I’m back this month with more autograph talk. This time I’m giving some pointers to getting autographs in person (IP) at sporting events, start a TTM project everyone can follow, and I want your autograph stories.

After a large void since the previous (and only) Collector’s Corner, I’m back. I’ll try to do this monthly from here on out.
Today I’m going to go over the basics of getting autographs through the mail (or TTM).
The easiest was to obtain autographs from sports stars is mailing cards to the players. While [...]

Tiger Woods had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday to repair cartilage damange, his second operation in five years on the same knee. He is expected to miss at least a month while he recovers.
The surgery, announced on his Web site, came two days after Woods finished three shots behind Trevor Immelman in the [...]

Trevor Immelman, ranked 29th in the world entering this week, is No. 1 at The Masters.
Immelman shot a final-round 75, including a harrowing double bogey at the par-3 16th hole, but rallied with pars at 17 and 18 to clinch the green jacket. The 75 matched the highest closing-round score ever by a champion.
He is [...]

It’s a weird week here at PTP HQ. Danny’s off to school to learn to sell snake oil and Matt has gone MIA again. So this week you get the witty banter of the Frabbit and the Poseur. We’ve got the office to ourselves and we’re running wild! So if you will please…

Danny’s Note: I [...]

Yo yo, I wish it was cold so I could make a mean cup of cocoa.
It has been a slow as hell week lately with things just rolling along at their own pace. The NFL is only in its third week while college football is only in the fourth. The baseball chase is coming to [...]

Yo yo yo yo………yo!
What is up everyone? How are you on this miraculous day? Care for some tarts? Paulie baked them. In his apron no less…ok a little less cuz that is all he was wearing. But we are here and first off I would like to say that Hall of Fame shortstop Phil Rizzuto [...]

Greetings and salutations everyone.
We are here this week discussing the hottest topics in sports just for you. But first I’d like to talk about something very near and dear to me and that would be the wonderful world of the boy wizard, Harry Potter.
Fear not for I am not going to spoil it for you [...]

Ai-chi-wa-wa it’s been a long week already and it’s only Wednesday. I just can’t seem to get through this week even though nothing really big or stressful is going on. It’s just dragging all sorts of ass and no sir, I don’t like it. You know what else I don’t like? Alexi Lalas having the [...]
