Tiger Woods is Golf
How else can you say it?
I have been watching golf for about 20 years now, and I can honestly say I can not recall the last time someone hit a ball off the roof of the clubhouse. And certainly, I can not recall anyone doing something like that AND winning the tournament.
What makes Tiger Woods great is his ability to recover. There are lots of guys out there with an awesome swing, and a great mentality, but no one recovers like Tiger.

Did the ACLU Strike Again?
The National Security Agency’s Terrorist Surveillance Program has been struck down by U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor. And you can bet it is in large part to the ACLU. Now this will help our country continue to be open to terrorists and there is not a lot we will be able to do about it. I am almost more afraid of the ACLU and the left wing than I am of the terrorists.

Addidas and Reggie Bush know how to advertise.
Reggie Bush got some extra headlines this week for the $10,000 fine levied on him by the NFL for wearing Addidas cleats in last weeks pre season game.Just goes to show that Addidas may have figured out what The Golden Palace casino learned a long time ago. A different way to advertise.
The NFL only allows players to wear Nike or Reebok shoes during games. So how is another shoe company supposed to make good on endorsements it has with football players? Simple, have them wear your shoes and pay the fine.
Basically Addidas just paid $10,000 for a whole lot of publicity.

RIP - Elvis Presley
Today, August 16th 2006 marks the 29th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death.
As time has passed the connection to this great artist has probably been diminished among the younger musicians out there. However, there is no doubt that Elvis helped usher in a new era of music that was and is Rock and Roll.
If you never had the oppurtunity to see Elvis live or on TV, check out the videos of his 1968 comeback special, it is one of his best.
God Bless ya Elvis, and thanks for all you did.

Matt Leinart finally signed
The first-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals signed a six-year contract.Out of 255 players taken in this years NFL Draft, Leinhart was the last to agree to a contract. Financial terms were not disclosed, but you can be assured it was way too much. ESPN reported that the contract was worth a max of $50 million, yes, $50 million. When the 10th overall pick and the second quarterback taken is worth $50 million there is something out of whack. No wonder the average family can not afford to go to a football game.And how does the 10th pick get almost what the third pick got. Vince Young signed with the Tennessee Titans and received a six-year contract worth up to $58 million.
I guess Matt showed us, staying that extra year in college did pay off.

Tornadocane
I guess you could say I am a little bit of a weather buff. Until Hurricane Katrina took a path that put us in the dark for several days and scared the daylights out of us, we (my wife and I) would look forward to a little stormy weather. Now, we are a little more leary of a big storm, yet we still like the rain with thunder and lightning.
Anyway, I found this posting at the Weather Channel to be very interesting and worth a look.

Tiger Woods
Now here is a shocking headline.
“Tiger Woods is youngest player to reach the 50 win mark in PGA History.”
Wow, who would have thought the guy that plays this good would ever do that. There was even a headline somewhere wondering who would stop Tiger. Is someone supposed to ? What does the PGA think about that. Tiger has been the best thing for Golf, ever, period. So why would we want to stop him?
What other sport has been so dominated by one person where it was obvious that more people were pulling for him, than against him?
Ok, I know, probably Michael Jordan was in this class, but, that’s a pretty small class.

Cowboys sign Williams
The Dallas Cowboys signed Roy Williams to an extension, and that is good news. But, if you read between the lines you will see the bad news. America’s Team is in some real trouble on the marketing (players) front.
“He probably is the second-most visible player we’ve got on this team right now, Terrell (Owens) being the first,” Cowboys owner-general manager Jerry Jones said of Williams after the morning practice in Oxnard, Calif. “Roy through his play brings leadership and basically will be one of the main signatures on our defense.” - Jerry Jones
Oh boy, if Terrell Owens is the most visible player, let’s just change the name from the Cowboys to the Dallas SelfishThugs.
How bout them boys, what a slide in 10 years. This is worse than the last slide when the starting QB and Punter were the same guy, and he wasn’t that good at either position.
