What happened to Baller In Chief?

No shanks, Mr. President.
Look, I like Barack Obama as much as the next guy (well, given the recent poll numbers, maybe the next guy, or that guy over there, or maybe that woman who still has hope across the street — you know what I mean!), but this golfing thing has got to stop.
I’m not [...]

E.E. Smith 54, Southern Lee 0
By ALEX PODLOGAR

SANFORD — Southern Lee got beat by its first line of offense.
Yes, offense.
Struggling mightily just to have a clean exchange snapping the ball from center to quarterback — the steady downpour certainly didn’t help — the Cavaliers turned the ball over a whopping seven times as E.E. Smith [...]

The PODcast, Aug. 26

On Sanford’s only sports talk radio show and after a rough intro, the opening performances for Lee County and Southern Lee are broken down to go with talk of NASCAR, MLB and the continued hatred of Isiah Thomas.

No shanks, Mr. President

Look, I like Barack Obama as much as the next guy (well, maybe the next guy, or that guy over there, or maybe that woman who still has hope across the street — you know what I mean!), but this golfing thing has got to stop.
I’m not saying the president needs [...]

Give Cates, Puryear time to rebuild programs

So now it’s put-up or shut-up time.
Not for the Lee County Yellow Jackets or the Southern Lee Cavaliers.
For us.
Heading into any prep football season, it is hard to hide the excitement about what the year might have in store.
And 2009 was no different – unless the difference came in that we may have been even more [...]

The PODcast — prep football preview edition

A preview of the high school football season, and then talk, talk and more talk about Favre, Vick, the Panthers and whether or not Tiger Woods choked the PGA Championship away.

Unbelievable — Tiger Woods (chokes and) loses the PGA Championship

Well, it’s happened.
Tiger Woods has choked.
OK, so maybe that’s a bit harsh, and it certainly doesn’t give near enough credit to the brilliant play of Y.E. Yang on Sunday as he stared down the most dominant player the game has ever seen and absolutely robbed the PGA Championship.
You know the numbers by now — Woods [...]

Who will win the 2009 PGA Championship?

Way Wrong.
Before the third round even began — actually, before the second round even began — I had the Wanamaker trophy already etched with Tiger Woods’ name for 2009.
Tiger leads a major after round 1? Over. Done. Fini.
As if to make things that much more certain, Woods went out and clobbered the field again [...]

Tiger Woods has won the PGA Championship

I was wrong. Way wrong.
OK, so maybe there are three rounds left, but Tiger Woods doesn’t usually go low on the first day of a major.
But when he does (courtesy of the AP):
Key statistic: Woods has won the last four majors he had at least a share of the lead after 18 holes.

Noteworthy: [...]
