Sunday Buzz: Lying in weight

Posted to: Sports


Golfer John Daly thinks former coach Butch Harmon butchered his reputation, remarking, "his lies kind of destroyed my life." That plus the drinking, smoking and overeating.

Chop block

Putting the 'ow' in "McCown," Dolphins QB Josh McCown sliced the index finger on his throwing hand while he and brother Luke McCown, a Bucs QB, were cutting a tree stump. As a result, Miami has now instituted a new injury information policy: don't axe, don't tell.

 

Milwaukee's not best

In a recent blog entry, Gilbert Arenas had some harsh words for a Wisconsin city, commenting that "no one in the NBA wants to play in Milwaukee." The Buzz thinks Arenas would recant his scathing statement if the team ever offered him big Bucks.

 

Luck of the draw
