Tiger Woods blows 'em away with a good fart


After missing the cut in the British Open, Tiger Woods is back to true Tiger form with his third Buick Open win. The win is his 69th PGA Tour victory. He won by three strokes and literally "blew away" the competition by shooting 20 under for the match...and sealing the deal with a good fart! Rumor has it that Woods also farted when he won the Arnold Palmer invitational last March.

Have you ever noticed how much he eats while playing? A banana here, an apple there, and of course of lot of liquid to stay hydrated. All that fiber has to go somewhere. What better place to let one rip than on the 18th hole to seal the whole deal?

Woods had this to say while being interviewed after the win, “I’ve played all around the world, and I’ve never seen a day like this.” “This event has always been special, but today was something else.” It sure was Tiger... and everyone is still talking about it!

She did it again: Rachael Alexandra left the boys eating her dust


What a woman! 3-year-old filly Rachel Alexandra has beat the boys again at the 1.25 million Haskell Invitational, Monmouth Park in New Jersey. She was absolutely amazing. She has beaten the Kentucky Derby and Belmont stakes winners. What's next the Travers Stakes in hooty-tooty Saratoga?

Famous jockey Calvin Borel who rode Rachel in this race had this to say, "This filly is just unbelievable. I can't say how good she is"." I gave her a few taps at the 16th-pole, that's it. I just wanted to keep her focused with a couple of taps. She started looking around at the crowd, so I just wanted to keep her busy".

Borel rode Rachael Alexandra in the Preakness and she beat the fellows hands down. The filly has won 10 of 13 races. She recently races against other 3-year old fillies and won the Mother Goose and Oaks stakes by an impressive combined 39 1/2 lengths.

"We haven't reached the depth of her yet," co-owner Jess Jackson said. "She is just running to beat the competition, and I don't know if she will ever get to Secretariat's records."

Jackson purchased Rachel Alexandra after she won the Kentucky Oaks by 20 1-4 lengths on May 1, 2009 and said he wanted to run her against the boys. Now that she's beaten them twice, Jackson should be very pleased and may just may have the best filly - ever.

Rachel Alexandra joins Serena's Song as the only fillies to win the Haskell. The daughter of Medaglia d'Oro became the first filly in 85 years to win the Preakness when she beat Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird by one length.

Rachel Alexandra--you go girl and make them eat eat your dust!

Kesha Ni' Cole Nichols left at the altar by NBA star



Former New Jersey Net dancer/cheerleader Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols was literally left standing at the altar this weekend by NBA star Richardson Jefferson.

The couple was to be married on Saturday July 11, 2009 at the posh Mandarin Oriental in New York, but Jefferson ended his relationship with Nichols the week before the wedding. Nichols notified friends and family of the breakup, but Jefferson kept quite about the breakup until the day of the wedding and called only 2 hours before the ceremony was to take place. ( Gee, how thoughtful of him)

Due to the late notice, some guest had already arrived for the $2 million affair. Rumor has it that to make up to his friends for the inconvenience, Jefferson gave his best friend his black AMEX card to pay for a fun-filled night on the town. How generous. It takes a lot of guts to call of a wedding. I hope he did the right thing for the right reasons...because what goes around comes around and payback is a b--ch!

Big Brown Just Didn't Have Enough For The Belmont Stakes


About an hour ago, I just watched Big Brown lose his bid for the Triple Crown. I'm not really a horse racing fan, but every year, there I am...where ever I am...watching the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes.

Guess you can call it tradition. My Dad always watched the races and encouraged us to do so...and we did. It was also a nice diversion from the NBA playoffs which are going on during the horse racing time line. Guess you can tell Sports controlled the TV in our house, when we were growing up.

I really wanted Big Brown to win 2008 Belmont Stakes and take the Triple Crown. Usually I just enjoy seeing the race....but Big Brown was different. ( maybe the last name had something to do with it) he is a beautiful horse and I loved to see him run...like he was flying through the air with the wind behind him.

But not today...Big Brown wasn't running the way he can run. Maybe it was an off day, maybe he is just tired, hopefully he's not hurt. What ever the reason...he will always hold a special spot in my heart...go on Big Brown with your bad self...thanks for bringing such grace and style to the name.
