Who Said It? #10
Posted on June 27, 2008 by JoePa
OK, so we couldn’t think of any good quote last week. I wanted to do a Kevin Garnett quote, but I’m pretty sure he’s close to being retarded (sorry dogolfer), and nothing he says is coherent. But here we go for this week: “If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and [...]

Just when you thought he couldn’t get any more awesome

I will post this without any further comment…I think it speaks for itself.

Weekend Challenge
Posted on June 25, 2008 by ndgravy
So, tgiab.com will all be attending a wedding together this weekend in the Twin Cities. And for our downstate Illinois readers, that’s Minneapolis-St. Paul and not Bloomington-Normal. While there, we will commence in what is sure to be a memorable alcohol induced festival at the joining of two of our friends in holy matrimony. While [...]

The Luckiest Man in the World: Mark LaNeve
Posted on June 24, 2008 by dogolfer
Who is Mark LaNeve? And why is tgiab.com writing about this man? To answer the first question, he is the man pictured to the left and holds the title of Vice President for Sales, Service and Marketing in North America for General Motors Corp. The answer to the second question is that Mark LaNeve very [...]

TGIAB Product Review: John Daly Golf Clubs
Posted on June 22, 2008 by JoePa
This Friday, I was fortunate enough to find an amazing advertisement in the newspaper for a new 18-peice set of John Daly CS-91 golf clubs for $159, down from a regular price of $399. So, for a career golfer who has never had an 18-round score under 115, this seemed like an obvious purchase. Historically, I [...]

Movie Review: “Silence of the Lambs”…I mean, “Untraceable”
Posted on June 19, 2008 by JoePa
I just finished watching Untraceable, and I haven’t seen Silence of the Lambs in about a year, so I’m writing this entirely on memory. Any misstated facts are because I remembered them incorrectly, or changed them to fit my argument. So here’s the plot of a movie: “Female FBI agent searches for mysterious serial killer [...]

Devastation!
Posted on June 18, 2008 by rsand
Not since Johnny Ballgame retired in 1999, or the Blake Street Bombers disassembled in 1997, have I been this devastated. This isn’t some kind of hyperbole either. This is true, heart dropping, tear jerking, “what will I do now” devastation. Tiger Woods, my favorite athlete in the 2000′s, has called it quits until 2009. Sure, [...]

One of the Easiest Jobs in Sports: The Punter
Posted on June 16, 2008 by dogolfer
The easiest job in sports is something that the tgiab.com founders and countless others have frequently argued about. Today’s column looks at the Punter. One word, Mitch Berger. From 2000 – 2006, the guy made $5,951,880 in contract money alone. $6 million bucks for a damn punter? I mean Lee Majors (pictured above) was the [...]

Fulfilling the Dream
Posted on June 15, 2008 by JoePa
Anyone who knows me, knows that it has always been a lifelong dream of mine to become a professional bullpen catcher. And by lifetime dream, I mean since March ’06 when I first thought of it. In later posts, TGIAB will discuss the easiest/best professional sports jobs, but being a bullpen catcher would me my [...]

Who Said It? #9 (morning version)
Posted on June 13, 2008 by dogolfer
Although this could be all of the founders of tgiab.com describing last years’ Notre Dame football team, or a day at work, or a day using public transportation, but those are not the answers that we are looking for. The only clue that we will give is that it is from an athlete. Although I [...]

My Favorite New Sport: Pushball
Posted on June 12, 2008 by JoePa
OK, so this isn’t actually a “new” sport, but for reasons unbeknownst to me, this 104-year-old sport is not nearly as mainstream as it deserves to be. I’m going to have to give hats off to The Sporting News for bringing this to my attention. Besides the fact that Pushball rules require a 140-yd field [...]

US Open Preview
Posted on June 11, 2008 by ndgravy
So, who will win the US Open? Many people say this is Tiger vs. Phil, due to the pairing of the two of them in the same group on Thursday and Friday. Based off of the picture evidence, Tiger would strike me as the almost surefire winner in this battle. However, you have to take [...]

“Who Said It?” #8

This needs no introduction. Who said: ““Why would I endorse the hibachi grill when I am the hibachi grill?”

Did Paul Pierce Die Last Night?
Posted on June 6, 2008 by dogolfer
After seeing the picture on the left, the general consensous is that yes, Paul did in fact die last night. However, as the game wore on, the accouncers made repeated references to Paul Pierce making plays and scoring points. Surely this could not be the same Paul Pierce that is pictured to the left. Or [...]
