Shirtless John Daly Jiggles Through Interview



There's not much to say about this, except that having watched it, I suffered through several hours of temporary blindness.

Caption This: Tony Romo

tony romo byron nelson

Good lord, look at Tony Romo's arm! What's up with that? Oh, it's just a camera angle. That's not as much fun as, say, nuclear accident producing gross mutation. The Cowboys QB, by the way, is on Golf Spelled Backwards because he was playing in the Byron Nelson Championship.

Write your own caption in comments. Mine: "Tony Romo joined the Dallas sheriff's department yesterday and immediately became known as the long arm of the law."

Loco for Logo

jalapeno futures tour golf classicI kid you not - that's the logo for the Jalapeno Golf Classic on the Futures Tour, the "Triple A" of women's professional golf in the U.S. The tournament is played a stone's throw from the Mexico border, in McAllen, Texas.

A jalapeno pepper. Wearing a sombrero. And, for some unknown reason, yellow high heels. The golf course may not be a spikeless facility, but heels are ridiculous.

You know, this little jalapeno character strikes me as a great mascot for the tournament, given the tournament name and location. But using it as the event logo seems a little ... unprofessional.

There's a minor-league baseball team in San Antonio named the Missions. Their logo incorporates the Alamo. But they have a mascot called Henry the Puffy Taco (don't go there). During the 7th inning stretch, Henry - a guy in a giant taco suit - comes out and races kids around the infield (the kids always win, natch, when the taco falls down just before reaching home plate).

Maybe that's what the golf tournament should do. Make Hallie the Jalapeno the mascot. Put somebody in a giant pepper suit, let them entertain kids, make public appearances, and so on. But hire a professional PR firm to come up with a legitimate event logo.

Or maybe I'm just a little grumpy this morning. Haven't had my Count Chocula yet.

"Big Break: Kaanapali" Starts ... Now Please, Make It Stop!

I figured I'd watch "Big Break: Kaanapali" on the Golf Channel because the babe quotient appears pretty high. Most of the cast members have appeared on Golf Babes at one time or another, after all.

And on that front, I wasn't disappointed with the opening episode last night. Elizabeth Stuart, Kim Welch, Christina Lecuyer, Courtney Erdman, Susan Choi -- yummo!

But a strange thing happened ... I discovered I wanted more from a golf show than just hot babes. I know, I know - I didn't believe it at first either. But as I watched that ridiculous bad "Survivor"-ripoff opening sequence - which had the girls racing around digging things up and reading clues - I started to worry.

And then the "golf" start. I was expecting a lot, because the Golf Channel kept promoting this year as the most talented collection of female competitors in the history of the series.

Well, all I've got to say after watching last night is that previous female contestants on the "Big Break" should feel very insulted. There was some truly awful golf on display, not to mention some terrible sportsmanship on top of it.

As much as I like the babes, the rest of the show was so unrelentingly awful that I might be turned off of "Big Break" forever.
