I Really Don't Care About Golf, But...
...while I'm congratulating people for great sports victories, I guess I should also acknowledge Tiger Woods as well for accomplishing what some sports pundits are hyperbolically calling one of the greatest feats in sports history. I guess it is impressive winning the U.S. Open on one leg. Congrats, Tiger.

It was definitely one of the most exciting golf tournaments I've seen. Tiger started the first hole of each of the 4 rounds in regulation with double bogey, bogey, double bogey, and double bogey. How do you win the US Open starting like that? It wasn't the best golf playing I've seen, but there was certainly more drama than I've seen in most tournaments. Tiger just comes up with the most amazing shots when he needs them and nobody else took advantage of the fact that he wasn't playing his best consistent golf.
From The Onion:
SAN DIEGO—A man who used several different bent sticks to hit a ball to an area comprised of very short grass surrounding a hole in the ground was praised for his courage Monday after he used a somewhat smaller stick to gently roll the ball into the aforementioned hole in fewer attempts than his competitors. "What guts, what confidence," ESPN commentator Scott Van Pelt said of the man, who was evidently unable to carry his sticks himself, employing someone else to hold the sticks and manipulate the flag sticking out of the hole in the ground while he rolled the ball into it. "You have to be so brave, so self-assured, so strong mentally to [roll a ball into a hole in the ground]. Amazing." The man in question apparently hurt his knee during this activity.
