CBS Golf Announcer David Feherty gets drilled

Many of you know Irishman-turned-American David Feherty, who is also a comentator for CBS Sports and golf, is a no nonsense guy. So why would he dress up in a ridiculous suit and let a kid hit a golf ball at him? The end result (no pun intended) seems like it was a bit painful.

Saturday Scattershooting

April 24, 21010

Good Saturday morning world!

It’s the best day of the week for me. I have time to sit down with a cup of coffee and collect my thoughts that get stored in my head throughout the week, but I never have time to write about at that time.

Thanks for stopping by, I know there are millions of things to read, so I’ll get right to the point with my thoughts.

How bout those Cowboys huh? Dez Bryant and Sean Lee. Everyone keeps asking the question “what about left tackle?” I would imagine Jerry already has that question answered. The Cowboys already have Doug Free, but remember, this is an unrestricted cap year in the NFL, which means Jerry can go buy anyone he wants in the free agent market place. Owners can spend as much as they want, there is no cap. Watch what happens after this draft is over. The fun will just be starting.

I’m starting a new group to see if there is an interest by writers who want to network and exchange ideas. The group is called “Starving Writers” and I have started a page on Facebook for the group. I find it hard to really think of myself as of writer, but the fact is, I’ve been doing this blog for a few years now, and I like writing, so I guess I can consider myself as a writer. Pretty sure there are tons of folks like me out there so we’ll see how this group goes. Let’s hope we can get some people interested in it but I’m somewhat sceptical as I haven’t seen many people comment on this blog, but we’ll see. I’m sure there are people out there that write poetry, short stories, interest in many things, so let’s see if we can stir that interest in joining a group. The reason I call the group Starving Writers is most writers that are starting out and are passionate about writing, very seldom get paid. We do it because it’s interesting and it’s like a second nature to us. It’s like a starving artist kind of thing. There is talent and desire, we just don’t get paid for it. That’s ok, we don’t need the money to do what we like to do. So, we’ll see how it goes.

I’m very thankful my stress test came back ok. It was huge in fact for me to realize I’m ok. I hadn’t realized how worried I was about myself that I caused myself more harm than good. The plain truth is, I worried too much and dwelled on it too much. After the stress test, I went out last night and had some chicken wings and boy, were they good. It was a far cry from the rice and beans I had been eating to make sure I hadn’t been eating any fat.

Some other rambling thoughts:

Will Tiger and his wife get divorced?

Will the Texas Rangers ever get sold?

How will the Dallas Mavericks feel if they lose in the 1st round to San Antonio?

How long will it take before Deadspin.com to get sued?

I’m about to go do some Saturday chores. Thanks for reading my blog, and come back soon!

Tiger Wood’s New Nike Ad : Earl and Tiger

Regardless of how you feel about Tiger Wood and his private life, you have to give the folks at Nike credit: They are masters at marketing.

Witness the new commercial with Tiger and voice over dialog with the departed father Earl Woods.

Brilliant!

It’s not a glitch, he’s just that good.

Tiger Wood jokes

Tiger Woods Jokes Official position: What goes on in their marriage is none of our business, and just because he cheats, doesn’t mean we’re entitled to explore and exploit his personal life even further.

HOWEVER, here are the jokes going around. Healing through unmalicious laughter?

Is Tiger Woods hiding something?

What’s going on with Tiger Woods lately?

Where would a family man be going at 2:30 AM today? How do you run into a fire hydrant right by your house if you weren’t a little tipsy? How and why would your wife knock out the back glass of the car to rescue you?

Could this be the reason for it all?

Stay tuned…developing story.

Cowboys Fans Descend on Congressional

From D.C. Sports Blog

This is when I knew it was gonna be bad. We were on the 12th fairway, Tiger and Tony’s third hole, when I saw a father and daughter in matching Romo jerseys perched around the green. That would be Joe Ramirez from Mechanisburg PA, along with his five-year old daughter Dallas. Yeah, Dallas.

“Better than naming her Washington,” he said.

And this, sports fans, is why you don’t invite the Cowboys quarterback to play with the tournament host in Bethesda, even if they are both friends with Hank Haney. Honestly, for a good part of the day, it felt like being at FedEx Field on a certain late fall Monday evening, with a certain black and gold fan base emerging from dark vans like cockroaches, the kind of cockroaches that wear those gloating little smirks and whisper bad things about your treasured civic institutions under their breath.

Tony Romo, Tiger Woods play 18

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has completed his round with Tiger Woods in the pro-am for the AT&T National at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md.

ESPN had a video report about it earlier today.

Romo was up for the challenge, playing with Tiger from the pro tees for the entire round. But according to the PGA Tour’s Twitter feed, he spent a lot of time in the bunker during his round.

There was some razzing from Washington Redskins fans along the course, but not too much – even with Washington QB Jason Campbell also playing in another group. And Jessica Simpson was there, singing the National Anthem during a military tribute.
