Making the cut.
Tiger Woods is tied for the lead after two rounds of the U.S. Open. Well, good for him. Tiger Woods is tied for the lead after two rounds of the U.S. Open. Well, good for him. It must have been a hard adjustment the last couple years with his fall in the rankings and the subsequent loss of media attention….

Although he has served his second 50 game suspension, Manny Ramirez is a free agent after being released by the Oakland As today. Prospective teams are weighing the advantages and disadvantages of having the quixotic slugger on their roster, as well as the potential costs of prenatal care.

Phil Jackson said today he wouldn’t coach the New York Knicks — even if the team asked. Well, duh, they don’t have a major superstar and aren’t favorites to win next year’s championship. –

Some parents are upset because an age 10-14 girls volleyball tournament this weekend will be in the same San Jose convention center as the medical marijuana convention HempCon. Well, it’s not like the girls would be around a really dangerous group, like teachers.

Just in case anyone was thinking the U.S. has a monopoly on political gaffes, this remark in a radio interview about Euro Cup 2012 from Andrzej Bojanowski, the Deputy Mayor of Gdansk, Poland: “I thank residents and city employees for behaving like normal civilised white people toward our guests who have in turn also behaved like normal white people.”

MLB today denied the New York Mets’ request to have the one hit in R.A. Dickey’s gem Wednesday changed to an error.

From Bill Littlejohn: Bob Arum, the promoter for both Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley, is asking Nevada officials for a full investigation into the controversial scoring of their championship fight in Las Vegas. Isn’tthat like Nixon asking for an investigation into Watergate?
