Oh, the social logic of brand sponsorship! Apparently Tiger Woods is going to rehab for pain killer and, of course, no shocker here, sex addiction. According to a link that linked to another link that came from a source that was close to another source: “The source also says that rehab was Woods’ handlers’ idea, [...]

Stickin’ up for Moss
December 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Doc Hollywood
Randy Moss sure takes a lot of flak. A lot of people lately have been calling him a “quitter,” which seems to be a dominant trope of Randy Moss’ career. But Greg Cosell has a different take. I wonder how many talking heads on ESPN (or otherwise) actually watch the games they talk about and, [...]

Doc Hollywood’s Best of 2009
December 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Doc Hollywood
A few fond memories:
I will never complain about aches and pains again. This guy could beat me up and steal my lunch money. Playing rugby against 40-year olds when you are 82? Fer real (or at least I hope it is!). Also, the Detroit Lions beat the Washington Redskins to end a 19 game losing [...]

That being said, the subject matter of the U (a history of 80s-90s University of Miami football) rose above the limitations of the format. Chalk full of interesting people [...]

Ground Possum’s Best of 2009
December 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Ground Possum
Follow Ground Possum as he descends into the madness of 2009:
10. Tiger Woods. Not for the sex thing– for losing his perfect-when-leading-after-54-holes record in majors. To YE Yang. YE Yang. Perhaps this was an indicator of something larger at play with Tiger? Or, did he just have a bad day? [...]
