76-year-old drains two holes-in-one

A 76-year old Nashville man is receiving his due credit after reportedly sinking not one, but two hole-in-one shots during the same round. The incredible feat occurred at Windtree Golf Course in Mt. Juliet, Tenn. on Dec. 6Believe it or not, the pair of aces now raises Jones' tally to five in 31 years of playing. Quite impressive, eh?"I don't see long distances very well, and thankfully I had two other guys playing with me. I hit the ball straight at the green and saw it hit and going toward the hole," Jones said of his first ace on a par-3, 120-yard hole on No. 5. "I couldn't make it out going in the hole, but both of those guys said, 'It's in the hole,' and there was a group beside the green at the tee for hole No. 6 that saw it."His second came on No. 11, a 125-yard hole and also a par-3."I was just beside myself. It is just an unbelievable feat," said one of his playing pals who witnessed the accomplishment. "If I had not...

Fan putting up hairy protest to lockout

Don?t get me wrong, I like hockey. I miss the NHL and am beyond frustrated with the lockout. I?m all for fan statements against the league and against Gary Bettman, but in this instance I am not in support. Xenia, Ohio native and Pittsburgh Penguins fan Maggie Wagner is fed up with the lockout too and instead of becoming an NBA fan, she decided to grow out her leg hair until the NHL sorts this out. Puck Daddy profiled Wagner today and her hairy idea came about back in September: She started to wonder what small personal protest she could offer against the NHL shutting its doors. So on 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 15, Wagner vowed not to shave her legs until the players and owners cut a deal. In theory it?s a great idea, a way to stick it to the NHL. Hell, she made it all the way to Yahoo! Sports so who am I to call her out for her tactics.

Bill Belichick talks Tom Brady and the New England offense

The New England offense is revolutionizing the way coaches are looking at how to approach the ever expanding NFL passing game.

Bill Belichick took this task in 2007, bringing the spread offense to the NFL, and having the first offense to have more snaps in the shotgun, than under center in a season.

Belichick in the off-season consults with the hottest offensive minds and tweaks his unit, this year being the Chip Kelly model.

The speed offense that forces defenses into chaotic situations, that lead to open lanes and receivers,� putting the Patriots number one in scoring again.

However, fans think it?s the Tom Brady show, but you?d be surprised that Brady prefers to be told what to do, and then he can worry about actually executing the play called.

Belichick explained the process to The Big Show on WEEI in Boston.

?I think the key thing for most players, I?d say pretty much all players, is to be able to just think about what they have to do. Hear the play, go out there an...
