Potty Putter might be the worst idea ever

Why would you ever spend $20.00 on this piece of shit?  I mean I understand it’s either a gag gift or created for the ultimate bachelor pad. 

No chick should ever sleep with a man that has this in his bathroom.  Ladies you can do better than this.    

Also, what am I supposed to do if I jack one over the green and into the ruff?  Do I have to do the penguin into the shower stall retrieve my ball? 

On second thought I might buy this for our office secret Santa to ensure that someone walks away with the worst gift ever.

Tiger Woods was living the dream…now just dreaming

YardBarker: I am going to go out on a limb and say that Tiger didn’t approve of this, but since it is out there lets break it down.

It’s for Shivam handloom deep sleep mattresses. Ad agency: McCann, Mumbai. I’m disappointed that Tiger’s dozing harem is made up of generically-drawn hussies. Nice thong.

I am going to give them credit for a couple of things. First there are no black women in Tiger’s dream, so we know even in India they do their research.

Whoever decided to put the knocked out cameraman in the dream sequence, should get a raise. It is subtle things like that, that turn something ho-hum into art.

Considering that a lot of the Tigerstyle ladies claimed that Mr. Woods thought Trojans were only at USC and not Walgreens, I don’t know if I want any mattress he endorses, but I digress.

Tiger spits on Dubai

At least he is not spitting on strippers anymore. 

ESPN: VIRGINIA WATER, England -- Tiger Woods was fined by the European Tour on Monday for spitting during the final round of the Dubai Desert Classic.

Later Monday, Woods apologized for the incident via Twitter.  "The Euro Tour is right -- it was inconsiderate to spit like that and I know better. Just wasn't thinking and want to say I'm sorry," he wrote.  The incident occurred Sunday on the 12th green, after the No. 3-ranked player missed a par putt on his way to a 3-over 75.

"The tournament director, Mike Stewart, has reviewed the incident and feels there has been a breach of the tour code of conduct and consequently Tiger Woods will be fined," the European Tour said in a statement.  The tour said it would not disclose the amount of the fine.

Sports Science: It’s Happy Time

We all know this will never change the game, but a good watch.  Sports Sceience does not mess around. 


Virginia: What's this I hear about you breaking a rake and throwing it in the woods? 
Happy Gilmore: What? I didn't *break* it, I was just testing its durability, and then I *placed* it in the woods because it's made of wood and I just thought he should be with his family. 

Announcer: Quite a large and economically diverse crowd here at the Michelob Invitational. I guess it's the new tour sensation Happy Gilmore who's attracting all sorts of people to this beautiful course.

Announcer: We haven't seen Happy Gilmore play this badly since his first day on tour. He and Bob Barker are now dead last. 
Bob Barker: I can't believe you're a professional golfer. I think you should be working at the snack bar. 
Happy Gilmore: You better relax, Bob. 
Bob Barker: There is no way that you could have been as bad at hockey as you are at golf. 
Happy Gilmore: All right, let's go. 

Mr. Larson: Trying to reach the green from here, Shooter? 
Shooter McGavin: I'm afraid that's impossible, sir. 
Mr. Larson: I beg to differ. Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago. 
Shooter McGavin: Well, moron... 
[turns to see Mr. Larson for the first time
Shooter McGavin: good for Happy Gilm-OH MY GOD!

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters Trailer

The idea that the green-jacketed members of Augusta National might make their hallowed golf course available in a virtual layout for anyone to play has always seemed laughable. St. Andrews, the birthplace of the game? Fine. Pebble Beach, the resort that's hosted five U.S. Opens? Of course. But Augusta National, the Alister MacKenzie-Bobby Jones layout that has been home to The Masters since 1934? No way.

Until now.

Billy Payne, chairman of Augusta National, and EA Sports announced today that Augusta National and the Masters would be featured in "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters," the next edition of the popular video game franchise.

Seems like an endoresement for Tiger that might not have come last year.  Good for him and his side cash.  I think with a year behind him Tiger is prime for a big year.

AP’s top sports story of 2010

NEW YORK | Tiger Woods' humbling return to the public eye, from his televised confession to a winless season on the golf course, was voted the sports story of the year by members of The Associated Press.

Here are 2010's top 10 stories:

- 1. TIGER WOODS: Woods returned to public view with a 13½-minute statement in February, then came back to golf at the Masters in April with a fourth-place finish. That would be one of his few highlights on the course — Woods went winless on the PGA Tour for the first time in his career and lost his No. 1 ranking for the first time in years. In August, he and Elin Nordegren divorced.

— 2. SAINTS WIN: New Orleans residents loved their Saints for not abandoning the city after Hurricane Katrina, but it was hard to imagine the team bringing much joy on the field after 42 mostly losing seasons. Then Drew Brees and Co. upset the mighty Indianapolis Colts in their first Super Bowl, to the delight of French Quarter revelers and fans nationwide who adopted the Saints.— 3. FREE AGENCY FRENZY: NBA fans were captivated by the mystery of where MVP LeBron James and other marquee free agents would land. Few would have guessed that three of them would sign with the same team: the Miami Heat, who became basketball's Evil Empire by adding James from Cleveland and Chris Bosh from Toronto to Dwyane Wade.

— 3. FREE AGENCY FRENZY: NBA fans were captivated by the mystery of where MVP LeBron James and other marquee free agents would land. Few would have guessed that three of them would sign with the same team: the Miami Heat, who became basketball's Evil Empire by adding James from Cleveland and Chris Bosh from Toronto to Dwyane Wade.

— 4. WORLD CUP: A World Cup of firsts ended gloriously for Spain and for Africa. South Africa hosted the continent's first World Cup without the pitfalls many predicted. And the Spaniards brought home the first World Cup title to the soccer-mad country with a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands in extra time.

— 5. GIANTS WIN: The Giants hadn't won the World Series since they moved to San Francisco in 1958 — and since 1954 overall. This didn't seem to be the year to end the drought when they barely squeaked into the playoffs. But with dominant pitching and clutch hitting, they beat the Texas Rangers in five games.

— 6. NFL CONCUSSIONS: New posters distributed to teams before the season warned of concussions' dangers in much harsher language than before. Another sign of how big the issue had become: increased reporting of concussions by players. Midseason, the NFL cracked down on helmet hits with huge fines and threatened suspensions.

— 7. JIMMIE JOHNSON: The NASCAR driver extended his record with his fifth straight Sprint Cup title. Perhaps most impressively, he did it despite not being in top form all season. Johnson became the first driver in the Chase's seven-year history to overcome a points deficit in the finale.

— 8. BRETT FAVRE: This comeback was nothing like last year's magical run to the NFC title game for the 41-year-old quarterback. His Minnesota Vikings struggled badly, and the NFL launched an investigation into whether he sent lewd photos of himself to a Jets employee. After voting began, his record streak of 297 starts ended.

— 9. UCONN WINS: The Huskies' women's basketball team extended their record winning streak to 78 games with a second straight national championship in April, becoming the first team to post consecutive unbeaten seasons. And Connecticut is a powerhouse again this season.

— 10. WOODEN DIES: The Wizard of Westwood died June 4 at the age of 99. John Wooden coached UCLA's men's basketball team to 10 NCAA championships, including seven in a row from 1967-73 and an 88-game winning streak.

Hitting golf balls at Cars

Autoblog: On a good drive Stuart Appleby can launch a golf ball at about 174 miles per hour. A Lamborghini Gallardo  can approach speeds of 200 miles per hour. Golf and Italian exotics typically don't have much in common, but like the Gallardo, the new Callaway Diablo Octane driver uses forged composite carbon to reduce weight and increase speed. So the two companies got together to pit the golfer against the pavement-pounding LP560-4 to see if Appleby can drive a golf ball 250 meters faster than the Gallardo can travel the same distance from a rolling start.

The supercar is moving fast as it crosses the start, and Appleby appears to hit the ball at almost exactly the same time. At first glance the Lambo goes full-throttle right through the finish line without any sign of the ball, but a slo-mo examination shows a truly amazing result. We have no idea how many takes it took to get this incredible finish, but it's amazing enough to take a closer look.
