Former Golf Channel host Peter Kessler is back on camera. Not for Golf Channel, not for HBO, but rather as the self-appointed “Voice of Golf” on Twitter. And no one is safe from his takes. Not even the great Jack Nicklaus.
Kessler's latest rant attacks the 18-time major champ for his work as a golf course designer during a week in which golf fans will be reminded over and over (and over) of Nicklaus' work on PGA National. The course is hosting this week's Honda Classic on the PGA Tour and is known for a tough three-hole stretch (Nos. 15-17) that has been dubbed “The Bear Trap.” But Kessler calls it “The Bear Crap.” Burn!

The amusing 71-second video is jam-packed with praise for someone else, though: Peter Kessler. “Not everybody can be a Renaissance man where you're great at everything you do. There was Leonardo, there was Michelangelo, there was golf media's Renaissance man: me. I'v..

Rocky WidnerLast summer, during a particularly bad stretch of baseball by the New York Mets, we noted how miserable the SNY broadcast team sounded. Pitcher Steven Matz had just left a game with the latest random ailment to one of the franchise's best players (a common occurrence in Mets land), and play-by-play man Gary Cohen was officially at a loss for words.

It says a lot about the state of New York sports right now that the Knicks have reached a similar point this winter, and it's taking a toll on their broadcast team as well. Just before halftime of the Knicks' tilt with the also-tanking Cleveland Cavaliers, legendary Knick and color commentator Walt “Clyde” Frazier was going through his normal rhyming routine to describe whatever play had just happened. Then, he randomly asked play-by-play man Mike Breen what his favorite cereal was, which tells you all you need to know about that current state of the..

Forget Damon, Favre, and even LeBron (the first time). When it comes to awkward sports homecomings, no one—and we mean NO ONE—got it like John Tavares got it on Thursday night. The former “chosen one,” as Matt Taub from East Meadow puts it in probably the most embarrassing fan video ever produced, was making his first visit to beautiful Nassau Coliseum since joining the Toronto Maple Leafs in the summer, and while the team itself did their best to thank Tavares for his service, the fans weren't feeling quite so hospitable. Needless to say, hell hath no fury like an Islander scorned (please stay out of my mentions, thanks), who rained the Plagues of Egypt down upon their former savior as he took the ice.
First came the tempest of verbal abuse.

When tour players are not taking rules seriously, how are regular golfers expected to?

Sand proved to be a major hazard at the Oman Open

American Amy Olson leads by 2 strokes at LPGA Singapore

Australian rookie Zach Murray 5 shots ahead after 2nd round of NZ Open

We're starting to get the feeling Rickie Fowler isn't thrilled with the USGA's new drop rule/pilates workout. He's not the only one, of course, but Fowler had perhaps the highest profile run-in with the new rule last week after shanking his approach on the opening hole of his second round at the WGC-Mexico Championship and taking a formerly legal shoulder-height drop. He quickly realized his mistake and informed the rules official, but the damage was done, and Fowler went on to card a triple bogey 7.
It could have (and maybe should have) ended there, but Rickie Fowler is nothing if not the Fun Guy™, so on Thursday afternoon, Fowler took a little time out of his opening 18 at the Honda Classic to troll the acrobatic new rule with some gymnastics of his own. Golf dads of the world, if you see your little ones dropping like this next week, just know this is where they got it from. (Also condolences—as they say, you can't pick your kids.)
