James Bond told Francesco: A Half Is Not The Same As Winning

A good few of the golf writers are today suggesting a more fitting end to the Ryder Cup would have been for Francesco to concede the last hole to Tiger, declare the match a tie, Europe go home with the cup, everyone to be happy and Bob’s your uncle.

fran Francesco, when he saw the party up ahead on the final green even thought about it until……Ollie and George O’Grady (aka Roger Moore aka James Bond aka 007) had a word in his ear. “They told me, it's not the same, winning or halving, so get focused and do your best, and that's what I did.  So I just tried to win the hole, to win the tournament, basically”.

Asked about the putt Tiger conceded to the Italian after missing his own due to, as he said,  hitting it too quick because it didn’t mean anything anyway (hmmm), Francesco said “No, I mean, I don't know, I was a little bit â€'â€' not surprised; I was getting ready to hit the putt.”  “I wasn't expecting him to give it to me”.

So today we are asking is winning the same as halving?  And if so we want the following changes made to all sports.

If there’s a five way tie at the top of the leaderboard next year at Augusta, they should all be pronounced Champion and given five green jackets.

If the next World Cup final between Spain and Brazil ends in a draw, screw extra time and penalties, let’s just give them a World Cup each and call them all winners!

If Floyd Mayweather does eventually get into the ring with Manny Pacquiao, the referee should stop the fight immediately after the opening bell and declare it a great fight and a draw and a great success since nobody got hurt.

You know what, let’s just no bother with sports at all.  Let’s just sit on our arses, declare ourselves winners and not bother!

Or do we play our hearts out until someone wins?

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 t...

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 M...
