When good Tigers go Bad

Golf....Well it isnt really golf news, but he happens to be a golfer. Straight out of the tabloids, the Worlds best player is reported to have gone wild! The usually tame, straight shooting Tiger has turned potential bad boy overnight. After a domestic argument with his wife, rumours report Tiger to have driven down his own driveway, with his wife chasing after him, beating the car with a golf club! The perfect couple are giving Britney a little competition for flying off the rails, only weeks after the two celebrity's were competing for popularity in Melbourne. Further reports say Tiger was found unconscious after driving his car into a fire hydrant and one of their own trees. Can you sing '1,2,3 come join rehab with me?'. Yet Police say alcohol was surprisingly not involved. His wife claims she was using the golf club to free Tiger from the car, but you would think opening one of the doors mite be a more appropriate option...No?...Just me?

The before picture?:


Further rumours are circulating that Tiger had an affair with Rachel Uchitel in Australia, causing his wife to chase after him in a rage. It could be weeks or even years before we learn the actual truth about this one. But until then we will enjoy the possibility of drama and be on the lookout for awol Tigers on the streets.

In actual Golf related news Leigh McKechnie conquered difficult conditions and a quality field to score the biggest win of his golf career, taking the NSW Open by one shot at The Vintage....... And Italy have won the Golf World cup after beating out Ireland and Sweeden.

Cricket...Well it's almost as bad as we anticipated in the Australia v West Indies test series. It's so bad even the Windies can't help but laugh about it. Skipper Chris Gayle blasted the West Indies' capitulation at the Gabba as a "disaster" as a ruthless Australian side threatened to turn the summer into a Calypso cakewalk. The tourists slumped to a humiliating defeat inside three days, with unheralded bowlers Ben Hilfenhaus and Nathan Hauritz giving Australia first blood with victory by an innings and 65 runs.

*Oh how funny, we didn't make any runs mon*:

Hilfenhaus's man-of-the-match performance in the Gabba Test - capped by taking 3-20 in the second innings - ensured his name is on everyone's lips. Hauritz took a cool 5 wickets for himself somewhere amongst the thrashing.

AFL....Melbournes favourite lost puppy: Luke Ball, has finally found himself in a scary Magpie nest. Collingwood swooped with its first selection, pick 30. He has now strengthened his chances of playing senior footy, and his mob connections in one go. Former team mate Mat Maguire is seeking a home at the Lions. Hope he's read the Fev manual and knows what he's in for.

Melbourne earnt their priority pick by losing nearly every game for two years. And the prize for this? The number 1 and 2 draft picks: Tom Scully and Jack Trengove. And your parents always told you wimning would ensure success, pfffffffft ha!...... Welcome boys to AFL footy, and years of really really bad times.

Basketball...Lauren Jackson, the world's best female basketballer, is returning to the WNBL to play the rest of the current season with the Canberra Capitals. The Opals superstar became available after opting out of a two-year deal with Russian club side Spartak Moscow following the assassination of team owner Shabtai von Kalmanovich.....Well can't say we blame her.

In the NBL, the Gold Coast Blaze have shown they are the real deal this season with an 82-78 win at Challenge Stadium over the Perth Wildcats. The Crocs have defeated the Adelaide 36ers 100-88 at 'The Swamp' on Friday night.

Interviews....We talk to A-Shar about the latest edition of Alpha magazine, which coincidently has that man Tiger on the Cover....Hrrm topical.

We also talk to the winners of the Pink sofa tennis cup, our very own Victorians :-). Yippe Kya MF.

All that n more on the show that goes through more balls than Roger Federer.


Peace out*.
