If you’re a golfer, you’ve no doubt had those occasional downhill shots on the edge of a bunker that just killed your score. Phil Mickelson has a way around it: The backward shot. You turn around with your back to the pin and aim AWAY from the hole, making it an uphill shot. And you [...]

Sports Tweet of the Week: Eli tweeted at half!
Update: per the information in Jim’s comment below, the Eli Manning on Twitter is apparently a fake.
This week, as a change of pace, the Sports Tweet of the Week presents…no, that’s not true. To be honest, I didn’t look once all week at AthleteTweets.com or WeFollow.com to see what our Twitterlicious sports personalities were up [...]

Sports Tweet of the Week: NBA’s lifesaver
My award this week doesn’t go to the best tweet but to the athlete himself. More on that in a moment. Here are some other gems:
Texas Rangers pitcher C. J. Wilson needed to vent on a writer-turned-ESPN personality:
why anyone listens or cares about what skip bayless says is beyond me, and every athlete I know. [...]
Artie Lange takes over Joe Buck’s show
Updated June 15, 6pmPT.
Joe Buck and HBO are apologizing today for Artie Lange’s appearance on Buck’s debut show. Lange had a barrage for Buck that the host had absolutely no idea what to do with. It was great. At one point Lange asked Buck if “suckingcock.com” was his second favorite Web site. He dove into [...]
Magic “ties” Lakers, Dewey defeats Truman
Check out the back page of today’s Philadelphia Daily News after the jump — specifically, the bottom left-hand corner of the page (although the “Rockin’ Raul!” stuff is pretty exciting, unless you’re a Mets fan)…

An NBA All-Star spelling bee?
Artie Lange, from the Howard Stern show and author of Too Fat to Fish, was on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. Lange is a big sports fan and gambles on games a lot. Kimmel asked Lange if he was watching the NBA Playoffs (which are on the same network as Kimmel), and Lange gave a [...]
‘Pop Star On Ice’ a June 11 must-see in NYC
For those of you in New York City tomorrow night (June 11), do yourself a favor and go to NewFest’s closing night film, Pop Star On Ice. It’s a documentary about Johnny Weir and it goes way behind the scenes of one of the most flamboyant characters in sports today. The film runs a range [...]
Sports Tweets of the Week, real and fake
Before we get to my choices for this week’s favorite messages, some Twitter news. This past week St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa quickly settled a lawsuit he filed against Twitter over a user that claimed to be LaRussa. I don’t know why a lawsuit was necessary. Surely if he had merely asked, Twitter would [...]
Sports Tweet(s) of the Week: Boldin’s blabby ex-agent
Some people don’t quite get Twitter. Okay, I don’t really get it myself, even though I dabble in it. But I digress. The idea behind it is to give your friends, family, and anyone else who cares to follow you brief updates (on your life, your interests, or whatever you want to promote). The emphasis [...]
Sports Tweet of the Week: T.O. blames Romo
With so many athletes and other sports figures jumping onto the Twitter bandwagon (and odd little stories popping up as a result), I think it’s time for a new feature: Sports Tweet of the Week. I hate using the term “tweet” for the maximum-140-character messages, but I guess I’ll have to go with the flow…and [...]
Quick hits: Nuggets, Penguins, lacrosse, Plax
Denver Nuggets get win in L.A., still wrestling with the Iron Sheik.
UConn and South Florida beat a five-hour rain delay with a dance-off. Will straight white guys dance to anything but Soulja Boy?
Pittsburgh Penguins take 2-0 lead over Hurricanes.
Virginia, Syracuse, Duke and Cornell play men’s lacrosse Final Four this weekend.
Jets and Bucs reportedly the only [...]
RIP Polamalu/Fitzgerald
The fans of 30 teams in the NFL have just breathed a sigh of relief. EA Sports has revealed the cover athletes for Madden 10, and as you can see, we’re going to get two horrific injuries/derailed careers this year instead of just one! Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Larry Fitzgerald of the [...]
Baba Booey: In running for Worst Pitch Ever
Gary Dell’Abate (Baba Booey) from the “Howard Stern Show” threw out the first pitch at Saturday’s Pirates-Mets game. He was there to raise awareness for autism, but all he did was raise awareness that he throws worst than any stereotypical girl. He said on the show Monday that at least his pitch stayed in the [...]
Stephen Curry: Worse rapper than white guys
I was ready to write about how these Davidson students were setting white rappers back even past Vanilla Ice, and then a minute into the video Stephen Curry appeared and executed the worst 12 seconds in rap history. It’s so bad, you gotta see it.
