At the RBC 2009 Canadian Open on Sunday Leif Olson banked this ridiculous hole-in-one. Guess that golf ball really wanted to get home. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cii-20NkhA&fmt=18]

Before there was Manny being Manny and Chuck Norris facts, there was Ricky Henderson who was recently inducted into the baseball hall of fame. Here are some of his more memorable quotes and anecdotes.
When he was with the Yankees, Rickey supposedly described the view from his condo as so good that he could see "The Entire State Building."In the early 1980s, the Oakland A’s accounting department was freaking out. The books were off $1 million. After an investigation, it was determined Rickey was the reason why. The GM asked him about a $1 million bonus he had received and Rickey said instead of cashing it, he framed it and hung it on a wall at his house.
After getting on the team bus one day, a Padres teammate told Rickey he should sit anywhere he wanted because he had “tenure.” Rickey responded, "Ten years? What are you saying? Rickey got 16, 17 years."

Here's the most interesting thing I've seen so far at this week's British Open: golfer John Daly and his girlfriend, a former Hooters waitress, Anna Cladakis in matching outfits.
A competitor to the established Guinness World Records has popped up with the Universal Record Database, "an open, participatory database for world records" where creativity is encouraged. Examples of submitted standing records so far (unless YOU break it) include "Longest Two-Person Comment Thread On A Facebook Status Update" (150 comments), "Most Whoopee Cushions Sat On In 30 Seconds Without Smiling Or Laughing" (18 cushions), "Fastest Consumption Of Six Cupcakes" (11 min 20 secs), "Most Images Of 'Uncle Jesse' Viewed On A Web Browser At Once" (63), and lastly "Most Binder Clips Attached To Face" (34).
I was at a party on Saturday night where Mary mentioned this feat after which she just happened to coincidentally "discover" a binder clip nearby. It got passed around for the contest: How long can you keep a binder clip attached to your cheek and eyebrow? I think the record at the party was around 25 seconds. I really wish I had my camera then.
The United States redrawn to match baseball allegiances. Accurate? Inaccurate? Discuss.

A funny ESPN feature on Los Angeles Lakers player Lamar Odom aka The Candy Man. It's inspiration for any candy addict aspiring to become a professional athlete. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-3Pm2Z_RDw&fmt=18]
While awaiting a 5 hour rain delay, the respective baseball teams for University of San Francisco and University of Connecticut got into a lengthy dance off. It gets particularly hilarious after the 1 minute mark. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aazG7dMhE7I&fmt=18]
With an increasingly busy life I've had to hire an intern to help me maintain this blog by periodically posting some entries. I'm not a micro-manager, so I've given the intern wide latitude in terms of the content, so I can make no guarantees about the quality or appropriateness of what the intern decides to publish. Without further adieu, the intern's first entry is tennis related:

His golf swing ("It's like a remix") being something of a YouTube legend already, Charles Barkley adds to his legacy with this terrible drive that hit a spectator in the neck at a recent tournament. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUuhyzFSa7k&fmt=18]
