The Masters Tournament...


  • You wanna make golf a little more interesting? Make a rule where they have to finish a beer on every hole. Talk about some good interviews.

  • CBS Announcer on Tiger....."Tiger's had a rough week." A rough week?

  • Toss in the camera man in charge of locating and then tracking the golf ball in mid-flight into the discussion of world's most difficult professions.

  • Also toss it into the discussion of "How the hell did you get that job" discussion

  • South African Charl Schwartzel finished Sunday with four birdies, a course record. He also set a new course record for the amount of times someone asked "Who the hell is Charl Schwartzel?"

Quick Hits...


  • Dunkin' Donuts is now selling stuffed pepperoni breadsticks. In rationalizing there decision to market such an item they replied, "Well, America just isn't fat enough."

  • Sonic, none of your branches are in NYC...stop with your commercials that air in NYC. And while we're at it...just stop in general.

  • The Egyptian King Cobra that went missing from The Bronx Zoo was found the other day. Zookeepers had been looking for the cobra for over a week and found the snake coiled in a secluded dark corner -"almost exactly as we would have predicted," Zoo director James Brehemy said. "Almost exactly as we would have predicted." Let me break this quote down for you..."Almost exactly"- so you didn't think it would've been in a corner. "As we would have predicted"-so you didn't even make a prediction. Strong case Mr. Breheny. That was actually his 2nd quote after finding the snake. His 1st quote being, "THANK F-CKING GOD!"

  • How are some of the comics in the paper still being published? Like the ones that are slightly complicated and end with "To Be Continued", what's that all about? It's a comic, finish it. I know what you're thinking right now, how'd I get so smart.

Dear Sportswriters,

Please stop predicting the outcome of the Final Four games at this point. There's an 11 seed, an 8 seed, a 4 seed and a 3 seed. At this point, I think it's perfectly OK for you to join the rest of us in saying, "Yeah, I have absolutely no idea."

Interesting wording here...

During the Yankees Opening Day game against the Tigers, Mariano Rivera came into the game with his stirrup socks showing. In the past, he's always had his pants covering up his socks. An article in The NY Post had this to say.
"Rivera, long known for pulling his uniform pants down to his ankles...."


I'm sure there was probably a different way they could've phrased that.
