New golf courses actually within the city limits of Scottsdale are as rare as Roger Clemens admitting he's wrong. There already seems to be a golf course on every other corner and there's simply no longer much room to build. So the best new courses in… more »

A few days shy of his 53rd birthday, Greg Norman is competing in his first PGA Tournament in almost two years so he can play with his son at Pebble Beach. You seemingly couldn't write a surer recipe for embarrassment. Only, it isn't. Norman shot a… more »

If you didn't pay close attention to Tiger Woods' ruthless blitz of a comeback in the final round of the Dubai Classic - five birdies in his last seven holes to leave Ernie Els a quivering wet mess - you missed the bell tolling on anyone else's chances i… more »

Watching Bill Belichick slink off the field with two seconds still left on the clock, failing at even his lame attempt at sportsmanship (he congratulated Giants coach Tom Coughlin, but couldn't stick around for one final snap? - even Randy Moss stuck aro… more »

Forget about the babe in the stripper's wedding dress bantering with Tom Brady. The most absurdly appropriate question of Super Bowl week had to be the reporter who asked Patriots coach Bill Belichick in all seriousness whether the Patriots coach had bee… more »
