three-dot lounge update:golf is a sport
Thanks to the Associated Press for honoring the athleticism of Tiger Woods and Lorena Ochoa as male and female athletes of the year. Anyone who has ever tried to play golf understands the skill involved in doing it well. Now it's official. (Even if I might have picked LaDainian Tomlinson ahead of Tiger)...
James Brown or Otis Redding? Otis, lungs down. Brown was an entertainer; Otis meant it all. The real king of soul...
Saw Apocalypto yesterday... needed a full-body massage afterward. Edge of your seat from the first minute...
Rumor has it Huggins will make an appearance at the Sleepy Hollow Inn in Loveland next week, before K-State plays X...
Congrats to Richie Braham, a pro's pro, whose absence this season has hurt the offense more than most suspect. Hopes for a bright future, and that he'll walk without a cane in 10 years.

Post a Comment*Braham is one of those guys who make NFL football the leviathan that it is, the most richly competitive of all American sports. Yet, ten years from now, will he be remembered by anyone other than NFL junkies and sports trivia nerds? Probably not. It is the lot of the offensive lineman to toil in obscurity, but here's hoping we fans give him a raucous, loud and appropriate sendoff at the Steelers game Sunday.

Rock On Rich, enjoy retirement
Personally, I think Roger Federer deserved the award far more than Tiger. Federer has to be the most underappreciated great athlete today...no one has ever played tennis at the level he plays.
I'd throw Wilson Pickett ahead of James Brown as well...another big loss from 2006.
I agree with the Rich Braham sentiments as well...good luck to him.
James Brown did things with R&B that no one did before, but that everyone does now. Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding, while great, were a little more straightforward with their approaches to the genre. James Brown was much more of an innovator than they were, and to label him as just a performer is somewhat ill-informed, in my opinion.
Just like anything else, it's too bad he became such a charicature as he got older, because, back in the 60's he was pretty incredible.
OK, I guess. But listen to what Otis did w/Respect and Satisfaction...his version of Satisfaction was so right, I thought for years he wrote it, not Keith Richards... to me, singing "Baby'' several hundred times in a song is irritating, not innovative. Different strokes...
Golf is not a sport, Paul, it's a game. Sports require exertion, strength and endurance.
When you can ride around in a vehicle and drink beverages while you are "playing" it's not a sport...
With all due respect to those who stand still while swinging a stick...
Golf is not a sport.
Working in my yard on Saturday afternoon is not a sport
Darts is not a sport
Scrabble is not a sport.
Madden NFL is not a sport
Figure Skating is not a sport
Cleaning the kitchen floor is not a sport
Quarters is not a sport
