Dear Tampa Bay Buccaneer Fans, Remember when Cadillac played at Auburn and was so fast and elusive and how he burst onto the NFL scene with back to back to back 100+ yard games and everyone thought he was the second coming. Well, if you are curious as to why Cadillac was so good then and has been pretty miserable for the last season and a half it's simple. He's missing the Needham Hex. The Needham Hex was there to make tacklers miss during his days at Auburn and over the beginning of his first season. Mr. Needham was confused that first season and still thought that the Cadillac was truckin for the tigers and was throwin the Hex out there left and right. Yes the future is bleak for Cadillac and Bucs fans. The Hex has abandoned Carnell and his quarterback will either be an aging bald man or one without a spleen.

Tigger finished up his round today at -2 and sits 4 behind my rooting interest Sergio. Not like 4 strokes is a big lead for anyone after one round over Tiger but personally I want to see Sergio with the lead going into sundays round with Tiger looming. This scenario would give us an opportunity to see one of two things, either Sergio not choking down the stretch of a major and giving his monotonic golfer suit a trophy or Tiger coming back to win a major which he hasn't done yet, which is kind of amazing to think about. All of his Ws have come with the lead or share of the lead going into the final round. So for an interesting storyline, how about -8 Sergio -6 Tiger final pair on sunday morning? Now that would be fun.

If you walked past this guy on the streets I'm sure the first thing that would cross your mind is, that guy is most certainly a World Cup soccer player. Well in fact, apparently he is, but not for the typical FIFA World Cup (the only time Americans care about soccer), but for the Homeless World Cup. Ya you read that right, the Homeless World Cup . The Homeless World Cup, which is being held from July 29th to August 4th in Copenhagen this year, is an annual soccer tournament consisting of, well, people that have been homeless at some point in the past year. More specifically here are the exact player eligibility qualifications courtesy of wikipedia : * Be male or female and at least 16 years of age at the time of the tournament * Have been homeless at some point after the previous year's World Cup OR * Make their main living income as a streetpaper vendor OR * Be asylum seekers (who have neither positive asylum status nor working permit) Not surprisingly the American squad, n...

In my honest opinion soccer provides the best highlights of any sport in the world. Sure sometimes when you're watching a match you may only get a few moments of excitement but I could sit down every day and watch the top 10 soccer plays of the evening and see moments of gold like this.

The Open Championship starts tomorrow and I bet you forgot with all of the Michael Vick stuff going down. Well the Open Championship always provides some interesting golf to watch and they're headed back to Carnoustie, the home of the Van De Velde collapse so that will be thrilling. 4 People to Watch to Contend Flamboyant Pants- Sergio Garcia - Alright I know Sergio has struggle very badly this year, mostly cause he putts like I do. But nobody comes out with better monotonic outfits for the Open than Sergio and the guy eventually has to win a major right? I mean he pounds the US mercilessly in the Ryder Cup. He's also finished in the top 10 in 5 of the last 6 Opens, and hell I'll admit I'm pulling for him. Secondary - Padraig Harrington - You know what I go with Padraig as a contender every single damn time and he always lets me down eventually the clown is going to do something to make Ireland proud. Token Brit - Justin Rose - Rose has been the most consistent Brit ...

Some Yankee fans obviously are a bit bitter over the fact that the Red Sox have been up double digit games over the majority of the past few months. I understand the rings argument but doesn't it eventually get old? I mean really how many rings have you been alive for if you're doing a cartoon of Jeter beating up Ortiz? My best guess is 4.

Bill Simmons has been insulted and I don't know if he will stop crying over. He sent in an application to become the President of Red Sox Nation (More on that later) and well Remy took him to town and literally threw his application in the trash. Here are a few quotes from Remy dumping "The Sports Guy": That’s enough for one night but I’m telling you, some of this stuff is unbelievable. This Simmons goes right to the trash. The sports guy he calls himself. He wants free tickets. And he’s ripping my health. And he’s ripping Mike O’Malley of all people. So Bill you've been ripped by the biggest Red Sox icon are you going to survive, will you be able to write any more columns and are you overly sad that the Remdog doesn't know who you are? And for someone who is a columnist you must have really blew some wording to tick off the Remdog. How do you write something that he reads as Remy might die any second. Not a good way to win an election. RIP July 17, 2007 Her...
