Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia Spat Turns On Fried Chicken ‘Joke’
May 22, 2013 | Posted by
So, it comes out, finally, that Sergio Garcia hates Tiger Woods because he’s black. That’s not what Garcia said in using fried chicken in his latest feeble attempt to disparage Woods. It’s what he inferred, and that’s usually what happens when people have problems with people. They infer. At the very least Garcia, the silliest [...]

May 21, 2013 | Posted by
Tiger Woods was in Washington, D.C. and Sergio Garcia in London, and yet although separated by the Atlantic Ocean, the two golfers continued their verbal sparring, with Garcia insinuating that Woods is a consistent liar.

Tim Tebow never got a chance with the New York Jets. They brought him in last year with much fanfare and for reasons still unknown, did not allow him to play quarterback, even when their pathetic, laughable season had come to an inevitable collapse. The Jets cut Tebow Monday. Unlike the massive press conference announcing [...]

J.R. Smith arrived in New York before this season believing he would be a starter. When he was relegated to coming off the bench, he was not happy. But Smith showed something he had not in his career: maturity. That personal growth allowed him to accept the role and then flourish in it, culminating with [...]
