For years, golf vacationers to the Phoenix-Scottsdale area have benefitted from the Arizona Cardinals hapless, hopeless ways. No matter where you're from - and no one's really from Arizona - you could get to see an NFL team you liked while swinging aw… more »

I had occasion to make a few quick stay overs in Sacramento during the last several months. (It's a great portal to Lake Tahoe and some other Northwest golf spots). Of course, anyone who's ever spent even one night in Sacramento knows there is no such… more »

Kansas City Chiefs coach Herm Edwards won one of those games on Sunday that makes coaches just thank the football gods and run for the locker room as fast as they can. Edwards won when his erratic kicker hit a 53-yard field goal with six seconds left mom… more »

People love to fight against Donald Trump's development plans. But the homeowners waging a war with Trump over the mammoth U.S. flags he's flying over his golf courses in Palm Beach and Los Angeles have lost their minds. Along with any sense. You k… more »

St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa has been making all the right moves this postseason. His successful suicide squeeze call against the San Diego Padres in Game 4 of the first round produced near orgasmic reactions from the Cardinal faithful even… more »

Terrell Owens is certain to get the blame for the Dallas Cowboys' 38-24 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the He-Hate-Me Bowl. Just like Tiger Woods took a bulk of the criticism for the U.S.'s Ryder Cup embarrassment. Which only shows how simple mind… more »

Yankees manager Joe Torre surely understands what Tom Lehman went through coaching the Ryder Cup team this evening. Both Torre and Lehman were in charge of teams full of superstars who long ago grew used to having everything handed to them and fell ap… more »

The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is a nice high end hotel. If you're going to drop $400 a night in Scottsdale high season - and there's a good dozen resorts in town where you can do that easily (winter golf paradise isn't cheap) - it's hard to find a bet… more »
