5 things to talk about on the course: The Cubs' destiny, Erin Andrews' lawsuit, and "El Chapo"

From sports to TV to politics (OK, so mostly the first two), we offer five hot topics that are sure to liven up your round of golf:

1. Mets vs. Cubs: Thanks a lot, Dodgers. Now I have to hear about the Mets from my tough-to-take Mets fan friends for at least another week. On a serious note, this NLCS is a fantastic matchup of two young teams who have developed sooner than many predicted. On one side, you have the Mets with all their young arms and on the other, the Cubs with all their young bats. And I can rest easy knowing the Cubs will come out on top. Why? Because Back To The Future II predicted they would.

2. Blue Jays vs. Royals: How good is the Blue Jays' offense when they get rolling? The rest of the teams alive in the playoffs might rue the fact that the Rangers had baseball's best team down 2-0 and on the brink of elimination before letting them win three straight, including Jose Batista's epic bat-flip seen around the world:

Also coming back from a 2-0 hole were the Royals, who faced a deficit so big in Game 3 that Texas governor Greg Abbott's staff sent out a premature congratulatory tweet about the Astros. Lucky for him, it's not a re-election year.

3. Erin Andrews vs. Marriott: Remember when the sports TV personality was secretly videotaped in her hotel room? Well, it turns out Andrews is eying a big payday from the big company, which Andrews claims let her stalker know what room she was in and then let him stay in the room next door in 2008. Just how big? Try $75 MILLION.

4. Jim Harbaugh: It didn't take long for Harbaugh to transform Michigan from pretenders into contenders. It didn't take long for the San Francisco 49ers to turn into the NFL's laughingstock. Say what you will about the fiery coach, he's pretty good at what he does. And speaking of guys making escapes. . .

5. "El Chapo": The Mexican drug kingpin, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, has become the best-selling Halloween costume in Mexico following his second successful prison break. The most recent escape occurred in July, but new video emerged on Friday. "60 Minutes" did a great piece on Guzman, which was particularly fascinating to someone who had just binge-watched Netflix's "Narcos," which centers around Pablo Esobar. Anyway, if you're looking for a late Halloween costume suggestion, and you don't mind dressing up like a scary/creepy drug lord and mass murderer, the El Chapo mask is perfect!

You're welcome.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
