The Women's U.S. Open was today, and a woman won it: the lovely Paula Creamer. Watched an interview with her the other day and she was quite charming.

My fave golfer, Natalie Gulbis finished 14th. I can't even watch her hit a shot if my wife is in the room.

U.S. wo's golf has been overrun with Koreans, and they made their mark in this tourney, too. Na Yeon Choi finished second, and half of the top 10 were born in Korea.

I'm always interested in how Kristina Kim does. She is an American golfer of Korean decent, and she dresses...differently. Think about Payne Stewart, make him an Asian female with large boobs. That's her. Well, she's lost weight now, so never mind that part. She finished 8th.

Can you imagine what it will be like when Gulbis has a kid?

Lance speaks about the doping charges that Landis made

Yes, I know that Armstrong is a dick, but dang, if the French couldn't catch him using drugs, he's clean. So shut up, Floyd. Dumbass.

Here's an odd story:

Big Ass Serena Williams cuts her foot in a restaurant somewhere and is in danger of missing the U.S. Open. I've never heard where this happened but I'm guessing it happened overseas. After the injury, she played Kim Clijsters in an exhibition match in Belgium. I guess it was a big ass mistake to play the exhibition.

And the WNBA gets better ratings than the MLS. I've seen several soccer apologists complain that it's not real soccer, it's not high quality, the announcers are bad, blah, blah. Uh-huh.

And now, tennis. The lovely Ana Ivanovic was docked a game because she took an illegal restroom break.

http://sports.yahoo.com/tennis/blog/bus ... ten-277005

She came back to win the match. I can picture the Britney Spears fart noises while she was in the potty. I wonder if she held her tennis racket in one hand while yanking on the toilet paper dispenser with the other.

This chick was number 1 at some point but has slumped to number 29 in world rankings.

Given the chance, I would give her the most wonderful 30 seconds of her life.

Here is a controversy that most people don't know about. Pat Summitt vs. Geno Auriemma. Geno coaches at Connecticut, who has won 7 women's basketball national titles in his time there. Summitt has won 8 titles.

When Tennessee men's coach Bruce Pearl got into trouble for recruiting issues, Summitt made the comment that she'd be fired if she ever did something illegal. When quizzed about her comments, she said she wasn't talking about the men's game, she was talking about Connecticut.

Pat has never gotten over losing key recruit Maya Moore to Geno and thought he cheated to get her.

At the Breeder's Cup there was a disagreement between two riders, Calvin Borel and Javier Castellano. A scuffle ensued and an episode of fucking midget wrestling broke out.

I think one horse got loose on a turn and spun out the other horse, thus pissing off Borel, who tried to give Castellano the pinata treatment.

The Head Line mentioned this event today: Baylor vs. Connecticut women. Number 2 vs. Number 1. The Huskies won by a point and it was an interesting game.

If only Brittney Griner had slugged a few of the UConn players, things might have been different.

And coach Kim Mulkey of Baylor? She is in the "would not" category. She dresses worse than Tammy Dombeck.

All of this talk today about Tiger Woods using Twitter while this tidbit got ignored:

John Daly has lost 100 pounds.

He is blaming his inability to putt on his weight loss. He says he used to rest his elbows on his love handles while putting.

Brits Claim Carl Crawford signing will hurt Liverpool.

I hope it goes both ways. The bunch in Boston say it won't.

This is the soccer team that Tom Hicks owned.

ESPN had the Connecticut vs. Florida State wo's game on tonight. The significance was that it was coach Geno Auriemma's 89th consecutive win, breaking John Wooden's record.

This event surprised me because the Huskies won their last title in 2004 and looked to be "down" for awhile. But they recruited Maya Moore and suddenly they were dominant again. Pat Summitt complained to the NCAA when she missed out on Maya Moore, that's how good that player is.

I did not watch this game. It wasn't a close game. I don't like basketball that much. No hots were playing. No hots were coaching. The end.

Oh, no. The top scorer in the WNBA, Diana Taurasi has tested positive for a stimulant that is used to combat excessive sleepiness.

This game blew, I mean drew 1.2 million viewers. Its rating was a .8.

I don't know the ratings for the Beef O' Brady's Bowl, but it had to be higher than that. The New Orleans bowl got 2 million viewers and the other bowls got more than the NO Bowl did.

Hoob.


Yahoo! sports reports that her "B" sample was also positive for the same stimulant. As a result, her contract is voided.

In the same article is says that two of her teammates did not trust the Turkish lab that oversaw testing and resisted having it done there.

The stupid French are uncertain if they are going to continue to have the French Open at Roland Garros in Paris. According to the article they would like to have it in a larger facility to be competitive with the other three majors (Australian, Wimbledon, U.S. Open).

They are actually taking bids from other venues.

The tournament has been held at Roland Garros since 1928.

This is funny. Twice as many people tuned in to watch the Connecticut women lose as they did when they won their 89th in a row and broke the men's record.

Story here

More people watched this than several NBA games and the Armed Forces Bowel, er, Bowl.

I enjoyed hearing Junior Miller complain about Sportscenter giving this story 10 minutes the other night. He's as right as rain on this one. It's obvious they are whoring this out to drum up interest in their own programming.

I did not watch this game. My favorite Stanford blonde, Jayne Appel graduated last year and I lost interest.

Heard this one on the Tee Box this morning.

Golfers Natalie Gulbis and Dustin Johnson are now an item. She's now 28 and has won once on the LPGA tour. She's also been stretched out by Ben Rothlisberger. I think Dustin's Johnson is 26.

Good for them.

The Australian Open (tennis) has begun. Here are the top 10 womens' seeds:

1. Caroline Wozniacki (would)
2. Vera Zvonareva (would)
3. Kim Clijsters (would, even though she kinda has bee-sting face)
4. Venus Williams (today? probably)
5. Samantha Stosur (wouldn't)
6. Francesca Schiavone (no way)
7. Jelena Jankovic (would)
8. Victoria Azarenka (would)
9. Na Li (would not, has a stupid tat below the neckline)
10. Shahar Peer (would not, reminds me of Monica Seles)

Elena Dementieva has retired at age 29. Hoob is not happy with this development.

On the men's side, I've only heard of 5 of the top 10: Nadal, Ferererer, Murray, Roddick, Soderling. I don't care about them.

Lance is still being investigated

I really don't care about the story one way or the other. What caught my eye is apparently "sources familiar with the matter" appears to be changing to "sources with knowledge of the situation".

Just thought I'd give you guys a head's up.

It would appear Landis and U.S. Postal teammates of that era are shirking personal accountablility by taking the stance that they were the victims of doping due to cycleogical bullying by Lance.

Watched the TCU women beat Utah tonight. I was only interested in this game because of TCU's point guard, Helena Sverrisdottir. This Amazon-type is from Iceland and I can't tell you why she jazzes me because she's a thick girl. But she definitely does.

TCU won. She scored 12.

The wo's side of the Australian Open is done, and Kim Clijsters beat Li Na for the title. She's probably my fave on the women's circuit. Her career has been odd, having struggled early, took off to have a baby, then come back and mercilessly put a beatdown on all comers.

Justine Henin re-injured her elbow and retired again, this time probably for good.

And then there is the story of stupid Oracene Price, Serena and Venus' mother. That ugly dog tweeted that she wanted Li Na to win and made references to Clijsters being Madusah (sic) and would turn people into solid stone if you looked at "that eye."

Clay court season has begun, and the lovely Caroline Wozniacki won the Family Circle Cup in Charleston, SC.

I love her so much.
