The U.S.M.N.T. Suffered Historic Loss to Jamaica Last Night
A win against Jamaica on Tuesday is not mathematically necessary, but not winning would leave them on the brink of disaster.
Top PGA Tour temper tantrums: Rory Mcilroy, Pat Perez, Tom Bolt, Sergio Garcia
Scott McCormick comes from a long line of mediocre ? yet devoted ? golfers. He lives in Arizona with his wife Alexis and their two dogs. When not trying to improve his short game on an office putting machine or following his favorite PGA tour pros on Twitter, he works as an freelance writer for GolfNow, specializing in San Diego Golf and Phoenix Golf.
When Tiger Woods demonstrated some poor golf etiquette at this year?s Masters Tournament, the world was watching closely. From uttering unmistakable four-letter words to kicking his nine-iron, any behavior by Tiger Woods that could be deemed juvenile was analyzed to death.
As any old duffer knows, golf can be a frustrating game. For most of us, we have the good fortune to not have our worst moments on the links be recorded for posterity, but not having cameras in his face constantly didn?t stop PGA Tour pioneer Tommy Bolt from earning the nickname ?Tommy Terrible? for his rage-induce golf antics during his career that started in 1946.

Jay Cutler: No matter his performance, still an inspiration as a diabetic
Life is like a roller coaster, experiencing the ups and downs until eventually you get off the ride, but for quarterback Jay Cutler of the Chicago Bears his roller coaster has loops and corkscrews. Coming off a broken thumb that ended his season early in 2012, Jay Cutler must again put the naysayers to rest. [...]

Sources: Petty could run Chevrolets
Could there be a No. 43 Richard Petty Motorsports Chevrolet in the Sprint Cup Series in 2013?
According to sources, principals from RPM met with Richard Childress Racing management earlier this week to discuss the possibility of becoming a satellite team similar to the relationship that the Welcome, N.C.-based organization currently has with Furniture Row Racing.
"No comment on anything because I don't have a clue what's going on," Richard Petty said. "When we get everything squared away, we'll talk to you. Other than that, there ain't nothing. There ain't nothing there 'til we bring something there and right now we have nothing."
In 2009, RPM switched from Dodge to Ford. But the announcement that Penske Racing was joining Ford in 2013 devalued Petty's status in the pecking order.
Sources say the move to Chevrolet would include technical support from the manufacturer in the form of sheet metal, wind tunnel time and engineering. Petty Enterprises last ran Pontiacs under the General Motors banner before switching to Dodge in 2001.
Only one team from the organization has qualified for the Chase for the Sprint Cup since RPM was rebranded in 2009. Kasey Kahne scored two victories, earned a Chase berth and finished 10th that season. At the end of the 2010 season, after ownership by George Gillett, RPM's assets were purchased by Petty, Doug Bergeron and Andy Murstein and the organization was pared down to a two-car operation for 2011. That company won its first race with Marcos Ambrose last year at Watkins Glen and the driver backed that up with a second victory at the road course last month.
Ambrose and Aric Almirola currently compete for RPM and are 16th and 22nd, respectively, in the sstandings. However, both drivers' contracts are up this season.
When asked whether Almirola would be renewed in 2013, Petty replied, "I think it was a one-year contract."

Pennsylvania High School Referee Destroyed by Errant Pass
If you ever wanted to see a football referee get knocked to the ground, I will do you one better. Here is a video of an high school official getting blown to the ground as if a tornado came through town.
Yahoo! Sports brings us a video we can enjoy simply for the fact that the referee seems to be just fine after taking an errant pass off the noggin. He gets up and runs toward the ball like a true champ, with not the smallest show of shame.
The pass comes from the arm of Allentown (Pa.) Dieruff High School quarterback Quentin Williams, which gives us the other unfortunate part of this story.
It seems Dieruff is in the midst of a 31-game losing streak, making that pass all the more explainable, as the report explains that a receiver just ran the wrong route.
It seems officials need to work at the risk of their own safety with this team on the field. Not that they are without a great deal of hope.
Dieruff football coach Kyle Beller has some words of encouragement:
We have talent and kids who can play football. We've been talking about correctable mistakes and it's time to correct them. If we stick together as a team and we correct those mistakes, I still feel good about this team. Very good.
The Bad News Bears clearly have an optimistic leader, but it worries me. That means this wonderful moment will be an isolated incident.
Too bad, because the referee looks to have a future in slapstick.
Follow me on Twitter for more nonsense.

5 reasons why this is Mark Sanchez?s last year on the Jets
As the 2012 season begins a lot of people are wondering who will be the Jets quarterback by week 15. While Rex Ryan claims to be saving ?the good stuff? for the regular season, it is highly doubtful the Jets have enough secret weapons to save their season and make the two quarterback system work.
