IAN POULTER is claiming he was misquoted when he expressed to the magazine Golf World UK that he was the only golfer who could contend with Tiger Woods. According to Poulter, the article has put him "in an unfortunate situation with egg on my face." Sounds like he's chickening out.
Manhattan project
Congrats to Kansas State, who finally triumphed on its own court for the first time in 24 years against heated rival Kansas, turning the Jayhawks into bluebirds. As a famous fictional Kansan once affirmed, "There's no place like home."
Reality bites
He must've had his wisdom teeth removed long ago: A high school wrestling coach in Pa. resigned after chomping on a player in practice. If he wanted to run drills that way, he should've become a dentist.
Fare share
Liverpool fans are pooling their money together to try to yank the Yanks who currently own the team. Liverpool FC is asking 100,000 supporters to contribute up to $10,000 each (blimey!) to raise $1 billion to buy back the club. It remains to be seen if common blokes are willing to kick in the cash.
Get pumped
Hoping to get in a good flow, the Washington Capitals will host a blood drive on Feb. 9, but don't ask how they'll be drawing it from volunteers. It'll be sponsored by the right cross.
Long-range thinking
J.J. Redick is shooting for a trade from Orlando, but as has been the case in his pro career, his aim is way off. It seems the magic is gone with his current team.
Oh, brother
Hoping he has a little Eli Manning in him, the Bengals signed Carson Palmer's younger sibling, Jordan, Wednesday. Having a pair of kin quarterbacks is bound to throw teams for a loop.
Don't come bock
Letting the crowd know it's not a tavern on the greens, at the FBR Open, patrons were limited to two brews per concession stand visit (after all, it's not called the PBR Open). Who knew 'FBR' stood for "Forced Beer Restriction"?
He's your Guy
Sacrebleu, Montreal police have issued a warrant for NHL legend Guy Lafleur for supplying contradictory testimony at separate hearings for his son, who is in jail. Lafleur was always adept a deking defenders.
Bantam menace
True sports fans, prepare to comprehend a real winning streak: 176. Trinity College in Connecticut has won 176 consecutive squash matches. The Bantams haven't lost since 1998 - and that was in the national final. Now if The Buzz could just figure out what squash is, we'd be even more impressed.
