Daniel Murphy, Taylor Swift and Steve Jobs: 5 things to talk about on the course

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. The World Series: As a Yankees fan surrounded by a bunch of obnoxious, gloating Mets supporters, I've resigned myself to the fact that the Mets are winning no matter who they play when the Fall Classic begins on Tuesday night (Thanks for the effort, Cubs). So don't even bother watching. But seriously, Royals/Blue Jays, can you help a brother out?

2. NBA opening night: Pro basketball is back as of Tuesday night! No clue why the NBA kicks off the same night the World Series starts, but that evening will feature juicy doubleheader on TNT. First, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavs play the Chicago Bulls, followed by the defending champ Golden State Warriors taking on the rising New Orleans Pelicans, who may just have the league's best player this season in Anthony Davis. And then there's my New York Knicks. Vegas has set their over/under wins total at 31.5 (Psst: It's an 82-game season so that's not good) and the smart people at FiveThirtyEight.com are saying to take the under. In other words, more fun times ahead at The Garden!

3. Steve Jobs: Hopefully, this biopic opening in theaters this weekend provides a bit more entertainment. And hopefully, my wife lets me see it, even if that means seeing "The Intern" or whatever other sappy movie is out now. Just watch this trailer:

How good does that look?! The production company is Legendary Pictures and it features a great cast. More importantly, it had me at Aaron Sorkin.

4. Daniel Murphy: What in the world is going on with this guy? After averaging fewer than nine home runs per season, Murphy has hit seven home runs in nine playoff games, including setting an MLB record by homering in six consecutive postseason games. Oh yeah, he just happens to be a free agent whenever his season concludes. Hmm. Dude is about to get PAID. Speaking of which. . .

5. Taylor Swift: Yeah, yeah, we were just talking about her and that GQ cover shoot a couple weeks ago, but there's news concerning the pop superstar goddess that we have to address. No, it's got nothing to do with her relationship status, but rather the status of her bank account. Did you know Taylor, 25, has made more than $1 million per day in 2015. I'll say that again: $1 MILLION PER DAY.

Plus, it looks like she's made wielding a golf club a staple at her concerts. Dig it, Tay-Tay.

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
