    Bubba!!

    What an awesome final round at the Masters. Bubba's 2nd shot on the 2nd playoff hole is one of the most memorable ever! Throw in 2 aces and a double eagle and it was quite a day. Congrats to Bubba Watson on a very emotional win!

    Dungey to KTM

    Can Dungey be the guy that finally puts a KTM on the podium on some kind of regular basis? There's been a few high profile riders that haven't been able to get the job done on this side of the pond. But, they have a linkage now, The Man is running things, and Dungey is clearly a very capable...

    The Open Championship

    How about Tom Watson!! I just watched him roll in a long birdie on the 18th to get back into a tie for the lead, at the tender young age of 59! Go old guy! Meanwhile, Tiger looks to be missing the cut by several strokes.

    Motocross

    With Villopoto out for the season with a knee, Stewart only running selected events, Reed not seeming to be able to sprint in the early laps, (European motocross being different than here in the U.S.), is anyone truly gonna care this year? Does Allesi actually have any fans after the incredible...

    U.s.a. U.s.a. U.s.a.

    The Ryder Cup is finally back on this side of the pond. What an exciting day to be an American golf fan, and the players provided no shortage of story lines to follow. The brash, confident youngster Anthony Kim totally pummels Sergio Garcia in the day's first match. Kentucky natives Kenny Perry...

    The Shark

    What a great story Greg Norman was this weekend. Once again, as so many times before, he couldn't close the deal on Sunday. But, to have a shot at being the oldest person to ever win a major after so many years away from competitive golf was remarkable. His tie for 3rd gives him a spot in next...

    Jr. can't take the 8

    Seems like Teresa is shooting herself in the foot a bit with this one. But, the bigger issue is the bucks people have invested. In some cases, BIG bucks! What if you have one of those Monte Carlos, or one of those Volvos?

    2/100 of a second...

    ...the 07 car of Clint Bowyer crosses the finish line on its roof, what a finish. It sure would have been nice to see Martin finally win one, though.

    Another year for Favre

    Could he be hanging on a bit too long? It's hard to see one of the greats struggle, even if it's not all his fault. Watching Arnold Palmer in his last few years on the Seniors Tour was tough. It wasn't fun watching the King shoot in the 80's.

    Fare Thee well, B.P.

    Benny Parsons passed Tuesday as a result of complications from cancer treatment. Phrases like "a truly class act" and a "genuinely kind and decent human being" are being used to describe him. He was absolutely my favorite among the current crop of NASCAR announcers. You could tell he was just...

    Anaheim I

    There's very little that Ricky Carmichael hasn't done in his career. He had his last chance to check winning Anaheim I off that list Saturday night. He came up one spot short. The podium was James Stewart, Carmichael, and a riding wounded Chad Reed. Has anyone ever heard of chipping a collar...

    Did anyone see the pigs flying?

    There must have been some somewhere because the Lions won. Of course, there goes their first round pick. And so it goes...

    Supercross season kicks off this weekend

    In today's USA Today sports section, supercross gets a story about the start of the season at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. Coverage is usually limited to results or a brief 6 or 7 sentence race report. I don't think the Motocross of Nations victory was even reported. This will be the third year...

    What's up, Knight?

    Coach Bob Knight. Now, there's a guy that should provoke some conversation. Once again, he's in the news for a violent outburst. Imagine that! His fans say that his gonzo style of tough coaching is what gets the job done. C'mon. There are lots of successful coaches that do well without chokeing...

    Ricky Carmichael signs NASCAR deal.

    The "Angry Elf" has signed a 3 year deal to go fast and turn left. He will be with Ginn Racing along with Mark Martin, Sterling Marlin, and Joe Nemechek. Can he achieve the dominance he has in motocross? I doubt it. In motocross, the rider is the bigger part of the bike/rider equation. In...

    U.S. vs. The World

    Once again, the Europeans kicked some serious U.S. butt to keep the Ryder Cup on the other side of the pond. However, the news from across the water was'nt all bad last weekend. At the Matterly Basin track in Great Britain, the U.S. brought home the hardware at the Motocross of Nations. This...

    Carmichael continues to amaze.

    As I'm sure many of you know(Highway Star clears throat and rolls eyes), last Sunday in Milville, Mn. Ricky Carmichael lapped the ENTIRE FIELD in the second moto of the AMA Pro National Motocross. It's important to point out that the second moto was a quagmire of mud and mud changes everything...
