This story is not going to sound true for a number of reasons, first and foremost it took place while I went for a little lunchtime jog at a local park (Please post all jokes in comments section). Anyway, I was lumbering around the perimeter of the property not really paying attention to my surroundings. [...]

So, I got a comment tonight that referenced something new on the Domino’s menu, and believe it or not I was not aware of their new “Pasta Bread Bowls”. I’m not a fan of fast food pizza places serving pasta, but over the years I been swayed by some of the crazy ideas that [...]

Would you want to be John Daly for a day? I guess it would depend on whether or not you could pick your day. Daly’s playing this week at the Open de Espana, and it appears that if his game doesn’t draw any attention he is still determined to be the story. The best part of this [...]
