He Said, She Said........Vol 34. (August 8, 2011)

Good Evening....

Adam Scott wins the Bridgestone Invitational.....With Steve Williams, Tiger Woods' ex-caddy, on the bag....Steve Williams, fired because he had the audacity to pick up Scott's bag for the US Open as the Prima Donna sat on the sidelines with his "injury".....Fired after spending 18 months loyal to his boss while keeping his thoughts to himself....Ladies and gentlemen, Eldrick hasn't changed....He's still a punk....Now Williams isn't any crackerjack surprise either....But you put two and two together and you get an employee who was wronged....Eldrick's second public divorce....Let the war of words begin....If your sitting on the sidelines taking it all in, it's great theater....Woods' career may be stuck in neutral but he's still out in Tigerland with his handful of enablers....He claims he fired Williams "man to man, face to face" while his former caddy insisted it was over the phone....I don't know who is right or wrong but Eldrick has gone from superstar to cad to laughingstock....Williams carried Eldrick's bag during 13 majors, 16 World Titles and 72 wins....And after Scott's win the anger seeped out as he claimed "that's the best win I've ever had."....If only HBO could run a weekly reality show following Adam Scott/Steve Williams and Eldrick Woods/????????

The age old question....Is a NASCAR driver an athlete?....There's no doubt it's a physical job but ya can't play baseball, football, basketball or hockey on a broken left ankle....Brad Keselowski wins the Pocono 500 despite crashing Wednesday during a test session busting his ankle....They slapped a brace on it and viola he drives to victory lane....I dunno....Though Jack Youngblood of the LA Rams played with a broken leg (albeit a non-weight bearing bone) back in the day....NASCAR drivers cowardly spin other drivers out, engage in catfights but I've never seen a decent punch thrown....Of course I didn't see 65 year old Richard Childress go all Tyson on Busch.

The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry was renewed this past weekend....What did we find out?....Curtis Granderson and Jacoby Ellsbury are having MVP seasons....Dustin Pedroia is a freak....Mariano Rivera is only a 50/50 proposition against the Sox....Sometimes he gets them....Sometimes they get him....Derek Jeter is back....Boston seems to have C.C. Sabathia's number....Brett Gardner has picked it up and has a lot to offer at the top of New York's lineup....And they play looooong games.
Memo to Joe Girardi - when ARod comes back use this lineup -
LF Gardner
SS Jeter
CF Granderson
1B Teixeira
2B Cano
3B A. Rodriguez
Carl Crawford settling in at the six spot for Boston is working out.

Can you believe it?....Pre-season games this week?....Didn't the lockout just end?....What's up with The Hoodie?....signing Ocho Cinco, Haynesworth, Anderson, Carter and now Shaun Ellis from the arch-rival New York Jets....Belichick keeps it interesting....Couple of Fantasy Sleepers.....Kevin Kolb to Larry Fitzgerald and Rob Gronkowski.

"He had no teeth and he was slobbering all over himself.  I'm thinking you can have your money back.  Just get me out of here.  Let me go be an accountant.  I can't tell you how badly I wanted out of there." - Denver rookie QB John Elway, on Jack Lambert after Lambert and the Steelers knocked Elway out of his first game as a pro (1983).

....talk to ya.........................
