Jan. 18, 2010 By John Bush, PGA TOUR Staff
HONOLULU — Ryan Palmer posted a 4-under 66 on Sunday to capture the Sony Open in Hawaii by one stroke over Robert Allenby (67), finishing at 15-under 265. The victory is the third of Palmer’s career (2004 FUNAI Classic at Walt Disney World Resort, 2008 Ginn sur Mer Classic, 2010 Sony Open in Hawaii).

Who are the Aint's?
jared-thesportsguyz:
Its hard to imagine a day when Saints fans were embarrassed to be seen at the games. In 1980 the Saints lost 14 straight games and fans, at the urging of a local columnist, wore brown paper bags over their heads. They wrote things like “Forever the Aints” or “I couldn’t give away my tickets” on the bags.
That was then, this is now. Todays Saints are headed to the NFC...

Cowboys at Vikings
Its January and Tony Romo is still playing football, Wade Phillips still has his job and the critics of both are quite. Not only did they finish December with a winning record, they also managed to win their first playoff game since 1996. The Cowboys didn’t just win a playoff game, they beat a division rival for the 3rd time this season and did so...

Image of the week
jared-thesportsguyz:
I love how ESPN’s image of the week is also proof of a facemask! Instead of this being a defensive touchdown by AZ it should have been a 15 yard penalty and first down for the Packers. In the playoff’s you have to get these calls right!

Parnevik vows to stay mum when asked about Tiger
readitrollitholeit:
HONOLULU — Jesper Parnevik is trying to stay out of the loop when it comes to Tiger Woods’ marriage so he won’t say anything he might regret.
No other PGA TOUR player had such a personal stake in Woods’ infidelity than Parnevik, who once employed Woods’ wife, Elin, as a nanny and was responsible for introducing them.
Woods has not been seen in public in two months, and...

What are your thoughts on the USC situation?
I'm thinking that USC is going to be giving us .500 teams with no opportunity to make bowl game(s) because of the NCAA.

Who do you have, Cowboys or Vikings?
I’m going with the Cowboys. The way their Defense is getting it done is amazing, 14 points over 12 quarters! The one thing that I keep hearing out of Cowboy country is their locker room. Once TO and Pacman left, this team became tight!

Who do you have, Cardinals or Saints?
I’m going with the Saints because they have the better defense of the two teams. This should be a similar game to the one that we saw on Sunday.

Carroll leaves an empire
jared-thesportsguyz:
Pete Carroll built an empire at USC. From 2001 to 2009 Carroll’s Trojans won two national titles and finished with a 97-17 record. If Pete’s record wasn’t impressive enough how about coaching 3 quarterbacks who went on to win the Heisman Trophy? Still not impressed? How about sending 35 players to the NFL in that span?
After reading all the above information I’m sure you...
Kapaula Paradise for Ogilvy Again

Geoff Ogilvy wondered why everyone got so excited about Kapalua until he won back to back tournaments there. How can you blame him he worked total of four days at Three Hundred Thousand dollars a day in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. What’s wrong with that! So Ogilvy starts another season with a win that not only pays him over a million dollars but puts him...

McGwire admission video →
We all knew Mark McGwire did steroids and he only has his self to blame for going this long to admit the truth.
I grew up loving the game of baseball in the complete Mark McGwire and steroid era. We all became fans of this era unaware of what the players were actually doing and it is difficult to let it pass.
You can’t keep these guys out of the Hall of Fame not knowing which players you...
UFC Fight Night

Gray Maynard is a top contender in the lightweight division. With his split decision victory over Nate Diaz he’s now 9-0. He has victories over other top contenders such as Roger Huerta, Jim Miller, Rich Clementi and Frankie Edgar. Talk of The Bully fighting BJ Penn for the 155 pound title has been bouncing around MMA circles for a few months.
The way Penn has been fighting...
Big Mac comes clean
jared-thesportsguyz:
So we all knew he was guilty when he told congress “I’m not here to talk about the past.” So why is this such a big deal? This is a big deal because details of Baseballs “Steroid Era” have been slow to come out. A player here a player there has been named. Most have chose to deny the allegations like McGuire did. Some were smart like Jason Giambi who admitted it right away....
