NASCAR on Twitter During a Race

Alright. I admit. I follow way too many people associated with NASCAR. I’m reading stuff from those I follow and it’s like I’m riding in tonight’s race. For example, I swear Clint Bowyer must have a keyboard on his freakin’ steering wheel.

Tiger Woods — One Year Later

[picappgallerysingle id="10243143"]
Last year, Tiger Woods sat down to Thanksgiving dinner in some sort of utopian state.  Life was good.  He was married with children.  He was the best golfer in the world.  Hours later, everything changed.
Fast forward to today, and everything has changed.  He’s no longer married.  He shares custody of his children.  And, Lee [...]

PGA Golfer Ryuji Imada – 24-Over-Par

 
[picappgallerysingle id="10088393"]All in all, it was a good day of golf for Ryuji Imada.  He finished 2-under-par.  That was until he assessed 26 penalty strokes for misunderstanding the rules at an exhibition tournament in China.  By rule, I think I’m required to mention him here at Dimwit Daily.  Said Imada,
“I’m an idiot.”
Had Imada read the [...]

“As soon as we come off vacation, we’re going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain’t worried about that. So they ain’t gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don’t want you [...]

What’s Wrong With American Tennis?

[picappgallerysingle id="9642112"]Remember the day when Jimmy Connors was playing? John McEnroe? Pete Sampras?
Today, some guy named Sam Querrey was the last American tennis player knocked out of our tournament. The US Open. Nowadays, Andy Roddick is probably the best-known US tennis player. Wake me when he wins something important. [...]
