Americans Win Prez Cup.

The Americans won enough of the singles matches Sunday to capture the Presidents Cup for the second straight time. By winning, Tiger Woods and the U.S. improve their record over the Internationals to 5-1-1. But Tiger didn’t win his individual battle with Mike Weir. The Masters winner four years ago beat Tiger in the final two holes and gave his Canadian fans something to cheer about. Weir later said he wasn’t sure which was more of an accomplishment, beating Tiger individually or winning the Masters… You know what I’m not sure of? Why in the world I even wrote about the President’s Cup!

Travis Henry Caught Tokin’

Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry has tested positive for a banned substance for the second time. Under league policy Henry can be suspended for an entire year. Henry is attempting to sue the NFL saying that they did not allow his expert to be present while his B-Sample was tested. The NFL allows a player’s own expert to be present if they are not affiliated with any labs, Henry’s expert has an affilition. Henry is in the first year of a multi year contract with the Denver Broncos and he is nursing knee and ankle injuries that he suffered last week. Maybe the marijuana he tested positive for was medicinal and was helping him heal? Either way it’s another athlete in a long line that just couldn’t stay away from the herb and now him and his team will pay the price. The suspension could be coming at the right time. The way I see it, Henry needs all the rest he can get after fathering nine children from nine different women in the south. Although the loss in salary might hurt his child support payments. The Broncos have lost two straight and their run defense is looking horrible. More bad news, the San Diego Chargers are up next and look out for a break-through game from LaDainian Tomlinson, though Norv Turner might find a way to screw this up too.

Lebron James Gives Cleveland the Finger

He might as well have, wearing a NY Yankees cap at a Cleveland Indians is a direct insult to the city, especially during playoff game at Cleveland against the Yankees. Total disrespect to a city that’s given him nothing but total love.  This kid’s got a lot to learn about love.  He must be hanging out with Kobe, learning how to dis the city that has traded its soul for them. Show some class Lebronze, before your crown is taken away and you turn into a lowly jester.

Worst Goalie of All-Time in Jail!

You probably haven’t heard his name before, but Atilli Ambrus is statistically the worst goalie to ever play professional hockey… and he is spending is 40th birthday in jail! In late 1988, while escaping the cruel Communist regime in Romania, Ambrus talked his way into a tryout with UTE, a hockey team coming off of seven straight national championships. But his time between the pipes for the UTE hockey club can be best described as adventurous, where Ambrus was the backup goalkeeper, served as janitor and also drove the Zamboni!

His claim to fame is that he gave up 23 goals in one game and 88 during a five game stretch! Where was the friekin’ coach during all of this? Apparently, the club couldn’t afford better players as the first wave of capitalism swept across Eastern Europe. Deep in debt, Ambrus skipped practice for three straight days, drank whiskey, then bought a wig and toy gun at a flea market. He launched his new career in bank robbing and the rest is history. Things went so swimmingly, though, that over the next 12 months, the gentlemanly bandit pulled another 10 heists. How can you blame him? I guess if we were that bad in anything, we would resort to stealing and drinking as well… here’s to you buddy! Dominik Hasik’s got nothing on you…!

Cocks All Over Cats!

Contrary to popular belief, this is a sports blog……… Steve Spurrier and his Cocks spoil a perfect start to the Kentucky Wildcats season with a 38-33 win at home Thursday night. Their defense was all over the number one scoring team in the SEC who came into the game averaging 46.6 points a game. Andre Woodson, the hero of the Wildcats’ surprising start, was pressured into several mistakes. He fumbled the ball once which resulted in a touchdown, then later threw an interception in the end-zone, killing their drive. A failed lateral pass in the second half resulted in another South Carolina score. The Cocks (5-1, 3-1) are now poised for the top 10 and the lead in the SEC Eastern Division.

Steroids-Marion Jones-What a Surprise

Another day, another athlete confession. This time it’s track superstar Marion Jones. These 2 photos should be synonymous with each other. I read it in “Game of Shadows” and was wondering why noone came down on her publicly. I’m not a big book reader and I’m not a fan of plugging crap, but this book is great, especially the part that names names. Victor Conte, the Clear, Barry Bonds, it has it all. I have a new idea, no more referring to these con artists as athletes. Let’s keep it simple and call them CHEATS…. Marion Jones an athlete, forget it. She’s as much of an athlete as I am a scholar. I’m calling her and her medals a fraud. Take away the medals, give them to whoever, burn’em for all I care. Just don’t let her keep it. Imagine all the people she conned; the other athletes, the Olympic officials, the fans, the talk show hosts, her endorsements… The list goes on and on. We should start a hall of shame for all these cheats who have “accomplished” great feats in life. We can place her bust right nest to Barry Bonds’ and Jason Giambis’. Stay tune for the next CHEAT to reveal himself/herself. The saga continues…

By the way, Jones is coming out with a sequel to her book “See How She Runs,” it’s called, “See How She Injects Herself With a Needle and Lies to Everyone.” They’re still working on the title.

Phillies Drop 2 in Philly

One more game for the Colorado Rockies to advance to the NL Championship game. After taking 2 from the Philadelphia, these guys are headed home and seem to be the feel good story of the playoffs. Kudos to this group, who seem to be a group of throwbacks, guys who just want to play ball for the love of the game. Matt Holiday is continuing his tear with a homer in the 1st to set the tempo. But the real story of the game is the play of Kaz Matsui, going 3-5 with 5 RBIs and a grand salami. Unfortunately, the Philly pitching staff decided to stay home today, allowing 10 earned runs. Its all but over for the Phillies. It was a good effort though (NOT). Seems like noone in the NL East can compete in the playoffs.
