          Oh, it must be World Cup time again.  I can't contain my excitement!  Not!  Here we have NBA Finals wrapping up a classic rivalry and the US Open coming this week(if you have to ask what sport, well, never mind), and some people are literally throwing themselves on the rails to see soccer?    I just don't get all the gaga about 2-0, 1-1, ( Read more... )

This had to be be the most casual, yet funniest commentary I've ever watched in a golf tournament.

Starting with this year's Master's, my favorite tournament, I now DVR the entire 5 or 6 hours Saturday and Sunday,
