After having watched that lady from the Florida Highway Patrol get all official to announce that Tiger Woods would be fined $164 for careless driving after all that has gone on the last few days, we were left with one thought…
Even the Spurberry division of the Vermont State Troopers could have found a way to cite Tiger for more than just $164.
It’s Larry the Lawyer. The Matthew Dukes Production team has returned…
And now, part 2 of Larry the Lawyer’s search for a catchphrase…
This is the “Catchphrase Edition,” according to the author.
I think we’re on 6. Here’s the latest Matthew Dukes Production…
And now we bring you the first installment of “Larry the Lawyer” - a Matthew Dukes Production.
In last week’s USA Today coaches poll, Duke received one vote to be ranked. We think it may have come from former coach Steve Spurrier, who was famous up until this year of always giving Duke one vote in the pre-season poll. But last week, Duke getting the vote wasn’t as crazy as it might seems. The Blue Devils were 3-1 with their only loss coming to an undefeated Northwestern team.
But somehow, Duke still got a vote to be ranked this week. That one we’re not so sure about. After all, the Blue Devils lost 27-0 to Georgia Tech and only managed to gain 132 of total offense in the game. Our first thought is that Spurrier was lazy and just turned in the exact game ballot from last week.
But then we realized what coach it had to be that voted for Duke - Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen. After all Friedgen’s Terps traveled into Charlottesville on Saturday having won 3 in a row, only to get whooped by Virginia 31-0. Yes, the same Virginia team that Duke beat the previous week 31-3. We assume then, that in Friedgen’s estimation those Blue Devils must be pretty damn good. And worthy of his vote for the top 25.
We would guess that Friedgen will give Miami coach Rand Shannon a call this week and tell him to “watch out for Duke” this week in Durham.
One of the things we learned on Sunday at the Ryder Cup is that to be a member of Team USA, you have to either date or be married to a tiny blonde. We assume it was a scenario similar to trying to get into one of those night clubs where it’s determined based on your appearance. If you showed up to meet captain Paul Azinger with a tall brunette on your arm - next! But if you showed with the tiny blonde as required - on the team.
This really hit us when they showed the crowd celbration after Jim Furyk clinched his match for the Cup win. What we saw was a few of the American golfers surrounded by a sea of blondes, with everyone just hugging. We’re not sure if each golfer didn’t care if it was actually his wife, or if he just wasn’t sure.
One thing we did hear is that Phil Mickelson made it halfway through dinner that night before realizing he was with Justin Leonard’s wife and not his own.
