5 things to talk about on the course: Peyton Manning, Pablo Escobar, and the greatest rant ever

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. Peyton Manning: If you followed the Thursday night game between the Broncos and Chiefs, you would have thought Peyton had been pulled and already announced his retirement after throwing a second quarter pick six. Instead, the legendary QB rallied for 256 yards and three touchdowns in a stunning win (which was more of a stunning loss by K.C.). I've never seen people flip-flop like that at a sporting event not involving Tiger Woods.

2. Subway Series: For the first time since the 2000 World Series, this thing actually has some juice other than "New York bragging rights," which don't really mean much if your team doesn't actually win anything important (Does anyone even know/care the Yanks lead the all-time series 58-43?). The Mets are looking to close out an unlikely division title. The Yankees are looking to get back into the hunt for an unlikely division title or at least wrap up a Wild Card spot. And Matt Harvey is even going to pitch! Fun times in Flushing this weekend!

3. "Narcos": A couple weeks after ripping through "Bloodline," I gave this drama based on Pablo Escobar and the Colombian drug cartels a try. Wow. Netflix is killing it right now with its original programming. The show put me on a Pablo Escobar kick so I tracked down the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary "The Two Escobars" that I've always heard is the best of the bunch. Verdict? It is. I highly recommend that as well. A drug dealer who was on Forbes' first list of international billionaires and who was popular enough to be elected to political office? Yeah, there's plenty to talk about with this fascinating figure.

4. GOP debate No. 2: Speaking of guys who have no business holding political office. . . How about that second debate? Despite its length, it remained quite entertaining, thanks to you know who. Trump low-fived Jeb Bush, slapped Ben Carson on the butt, and basically told Rand Paul and his one percent of the vote to pipe down. Didn't see all THREE hours of this marathon at the Ronal Reagan Presidential Library? Here's a summary: Reagan is God and Obama/Hillary are the Devil. Can't wait for Round 3!

5. Adam "Pacman" Jones: His latest controversy involves ripping rookie Amari Cooper's helmet off then slamming his head into it. After being fined 35K, but somehow not being suspended, Jones said he'd appeal and that he "can't promise it won't happen again." With all this guy's problems on and off the field, how is he even still in the NFL? It reminds me of the famous Chris "Mad Dog" Russo rant on Pacman when he called screamed for the NFL to "show some GUTS" and "kick him out of the league and kick him out of the league NOW!" It's seven minutes long, but it's one of the funniest things you'll ever see. Plus, it's Friday. . .

At one point, Russo says Jones "has a rapsheet as long as Al Capone's." Perhaps, the NFL will finally bid him adieu if he reaches Pablo Escobar territory. But maybe hold off for now. He's on my fantasy team. . .

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...
