Race Day in Dover as NASCAR Readies for FedEx 400
Some very interesting 3-peats last week. I guess technically they were not actual 3-peats but so what? In the Coca-Cola 600 Kasey Kahne won for the third time and it is clear that he really likes this race since on the tour he has only won 13 times. The list of other 3 time winners shows that he is in an impressive group with luminaries such as Dale Earnhardt, David Pearson and Buddy Baker among Read More>>
Friday Grab Bag: Too Many Penguin Texts? Free Wi-Fi for Intel.
Barry Bonds was interviewed last week and it seems that the former Pirates and Giants slugger is interested in taking a role in baseball. He met with Giants team executives about a role for himself with the squad. Bonds has a personal service contract with the team that has apparently been inactive while he went through his trial and now that it's behind him is looking for it to become Read More>>
Get Ready for the PGA Cell Phone Backlash — After the Mickelson Memorial Incident
You don't have to be a website called Mobile Sports Report to see this storm brewing: The reported bad cell-phone behavior that might have led to Phil Mickelson's withdrawl from the Memorial Thursday is almost certain to cause a cell phone backlash from the PGA Tour. Though phones didn't used to be allowed at tour events -- and special tourneys like the U.S. Open (run by the USGA) are pretty Read More>>
USGA Debuts Redesigned Going Mobile Website for U.S. Open at The Olympic Club
Watching the U.S. Open at The Olympic Club in mid-June is the best way to see the world's best golfers compete for the country's national championship. But as with any major, only a small percentage of the tournament's fans will see the event in person. Which, of course, is why the United States Golf Association (USGA) launched the redesigned official website of the 112th U.S. Open Championship Read More>>
GolfGameBook Allows You to Brag in Real Time
It seems that in the connected world Golf is leading the way. You can get a variety of apps and devices that tell you how far from the ole you are, the course layout and what club you use. Yet just as there always seems the need for a new club, there is always room for an app that does something slightly different, and that is the space that GolfGameBook is seeking to fill as an interactive Read More>>
Wave of Tablets on the Horizon
I guess a toy store selling tablets targeted at children is a natural progression of life, and come to think of it after seeing several of my friends' iPads being hammered on by 7-year-olds, it is now starting to make a good deal more sense. Welcome to the Kurio7, a 7-inch tablet from Techno Source that will be first seen at Toys”R”Us and then hopefully move into greater distribution at a Read More>>
Watching Golf this Week: The Memorial, or ‘We’re All Back at Jack’s House’
Just when Zach Johnson threatened to kill off his own victory with a last-hole brain fart -- and drag the golf season into perhaps fatal tedium with people talking nonstop about rules -- golf fans are saved by the arrival of the Memorial this week, a sort of mini-major that will have all the big names back in play, including Tiger, Rory, and even Bubba the baby dad! Plus Dustin Johnson back from Read More>>
