SportsUnderground Hat Tip of the Week Part Deux

SportsUnderground would like to extend a hat tip to Jay Busbee from Yahoo Sports! on this excellent article:

Quite simply the most amazing golf hole on the planet

SportsUnderground’s Opinion:
The Legends of Golf and Safari Resort in South Africa is now officially at the top of my list for places I must go on vacation. Each of the 18-holes was desgined by a different professional golf star along with stunning nature as far as the eye can see. Take all that and add an “X-treme 19th” hole that is 630 yards with a tee-box 1,400 feet high and you have me at hello. You must check out the video footage below and a separate hat tip to Padraig Harrington for getting a par.

Hope Dworaczyk is a Hottie

Hope Dworaczyk

I’m not sure anyone is actually familiar with the name, but you might know her ex-boyfriend Jason Kidd. Hope is in April’s Playboy edition just one year after having one of Kidd’s children, but she seems to have rebounded quite well. Now don’t get Hope confused with ex-wife Joumana with whom Kidd had three children with before divorcing her due to “extreme cruelty” during their relationship. Kidd accused Joumana of intense jealousy, general paranoia, and many “false domestic abuse claims” to the police as why he wanted out. Is that really the reason or is it because he wanted to be with the likes of Hope Dworaczyk. Well, that is isn’t for me to answer, but he does seem to be enjoying being single and I can’t say I blame him. Play on playa!

Giants Pitcher Nailed

If you haven’t already seen San Francisco Giants rookie pitcher Joe Martinez get hit in the head by a line drive then you have to see this video. I am truly stunned that Martinez was able to get up from the hit and even more surprising is he wasn’t really hurt in the whole scheme of things. The ball coming of Mike Cameron’s bat is hot to say the least and it appears to hit him flush on his head and close to his temple. This my friends is a miracle.

Vijay Singh’s Hole-in-One

Check out this raw video footage of Vijay hitting a hole-in-one on the 16th hole of a practice round this week at The Masters. The best part is he skips the shot across the water before landing on the green.

Bungles at it again

We have been banging on the Cincinnati Bengals for the last two years or so due to all the arrests and problems they have experienced off the field. The Bungles have made many statements reccently about how they are cleaning up their act, but how are we supposed to believe that with their most recent signing? Keep in mind they still have Chris “The consistent convict” Henry on their squad and now they sign Tank “I got guns” Johnson. It is comical to me how poorly run this team is so if you want to hire Tank after a run of 10 arrests in a 14 month period then so be it. I just hope you don’t expect anyone to take you seriously and better yet just know you are fighting with the Lions and the Raiders for the a$$ end of the NFL.

College Basketball Bet of the Day – National Championship Game

There is a lot of buzz around the Michigan State Spartans possibly slaying Goliath tonight in the National Championship, but I just don’t see it happening. I know they handled Louisville and UConn rather easily, but let’s not forget just a few months ago many were asking the question will the Tarheels go undefeated. While that was a uneducated thing to think because it’s too hard to do, but this UNC team is really really good. I think in the end Carolina wins this game by 12 to 13 points.

UNC -7.5

Overall Record:

College Basketball 196-149-6
NBA 30-21
NHL 0-1
MLB 20-11
College Football: 106-92-1
NFL 103-72-5

Michael Vick in the Mafia?

Michael Vick’s lawyer Michael Blumenthal told a bankruptcy court today that Vick has lined up a construction job for when he gets out of the pen. Who in the heck set up this gig Mr. Blumenthal Tony Soprano? I mean do you think we really believe for one split second that “Ron Mexico” is going to be laying bricks or painting walls? Blumenthal said when Vick is released, he plans to work forty hours a week for a construction company. He did not disclose the wage or give any other details about the type of work that Vick will be performing. Vick is actually set to take the stand tomorrow before the proceedings wrap up. He’s scheduled to be released from custody in July, but could be sent to home confinement as early as late May. I do want to commend Vick for serving his time and paying his debt to society, but please don’t try and BS me or anyone else that you are going to be working construction to pay back your losses. Tony Soprano doesn’t want you and the bigger question will be does the NFL and Roger Goodell?
