A Great Reason to Never Watch Golf

Written by Brandon Stroud / 07.15.11

When a legendary sportswriter like Dan Jenkins mentions strippers on his Twitter, you know something’s up, especially when he’s comparing them to 47-year old Spanish golfers:

miguel-angel-jimenez-warmupThat could’ve been a funny enough end to the story, but BBC has provided video of the warm up, and in this “pics or it didn’t happen” world it’s comforting to know that integrity still exists in the world of new media. Jenkins wasn’t kidding. Miguel Angel Jimenez looks like a stripper. A sweaty, overweight stripper who smokes while he stretches and swings two clubs. So, a stripper from Cleveland, I guess.

My advice is to watch the video twice. If you watch it the first time through with normal volume, it appears silent, and you can enjoy The Mechanic dropping it like its hot without any external stimuli. Then, turn your volume up all the way and restart the video. If you listen closely you can hear Peter Alliss providing hilarious play-by-play that makes the whole thing seem like one of those old Popeye cartoons where Bluto is walking angrily and pushing up his sleeves and trash-talking without moving his mouth.

Golf Cart 1, NFL Lineman 0.

Written by Ryan Walsh / 05.18.10

lobster dog golf cartDenver Broncos offensive lineman Matt McChesney suffered a potential career ending injury when a golf cart rolled over his surgically repaired ankle. This could be his third time on the injured reserve since signing with the Jets an an undrafted free agent in 2005. Hey, he still has that other ankle. What’s the big deal?

McChesney, who had a shot to make the Broncos’ roster this year as a backup center and guard, had climbed out of the golf cart he was driving to approach his ball. Just as McChesney got out, the trailing cart was driving by and accidently clipped his ankle. It was the same ankle McChesney had surgically repaired after a preseason injury last year. –Denver Post

McChesney is expected to retire, despite encouragement from Broncos staff to rehabilitate his injury and compete for a spot on the roster. His injury plagued career has limited him to playing just a single game since the 2008 season. He’s like the white JaMarcus Russell.

This is the second non-football related injury suffered by a Broncos offensive linemen in less than a month. All-Pro tackle Ryan Clady partially tore the patellar tendon in his left knee while playing basketball on April 23. He is expected to miss offseason workouts and the preseason. Another reason for Josh McDaniels to not be a happy camper.

Your Obligatory Masters Post

Written by Bacon / 04.08.10

For non golf fans, it is just another boring tournament with guys that “aren’t athletes.” For golf fans, it is the best week of the year, mainly because it is played on the same track with the same traditions in the first major championship of the season. For some reason, it brings out the goosebumps and just the years of certain Masters flood the mind with memories; 1958, 1986, 1997.

The reason you, loyal reader, should watch the Masters this year is because of the following:

– There is an absolutely incredible chance that we will see something we’ve never seen before. A person running out on the course, screams profanities in Tiger’s backswing or even someone parachuting in. I truly believe this will happen. There are too many crazy people out there for someone not to pull the trigger (no pun intended) on some prank.

– You could see Tiger struggle on a golf course. It hardly ever happens. Get your DVR ready.

– The chance to see an up-close image of Lucas Glover’s head. I promise you, Dana Stubblefield would be impressed by the size of that melon.

– The always fun chance to play the Masters drinking game.

  • For every white belt you see, take a drink.
  • For any player playing a yellow golf ball, drink.
  • Anytime the announcer says patrons, second cut, or fairway metal, drink.
  • Anytime a player is dressed like a “Happy Gilmore” extra, drink.

Fine, you may not watch, but it is certainly going to be entertaining. I mean, for goodness sake, David Toms is leading early on Thursday! How could that not enflame your loins?
