Now golfers apparently cheat too

Former legend Gary Player is saying he knows of at least one golfer who has used steroids and is calling for more organizations to implement random drug-testing.

“One guy told me — I took an oath prior to him telling me — but he told me what he did and I could see this massive change in him,” said the 71-year-old Hall of Famer and winner of nine majors. “And somebody else told me something I also promised I wouldn’t tell, that verified others had done it.”

Is anybody honest anymore? Good lord, isn’t this how it all started in baseball? Ken Caminiti “broke” the story that MLB players were on the juice, then wacko Jose Canseco wrote a book, and now nobody can enjoy a home run anymore without thinking, “Is that dude on roids?”

At least now I know why my golf game has sucked for years – I’m not juicing! Either that or I’m just not that good, but that’s just preposterous.

Beefed up Tiger

Deadspin.com posted an interesting blog on how huge Tiger Woods looks these days. While the site doesn’t accuse Tiger of doping, it does make note how the PGA has decided to drug test its golfers all of a sudden. Is it just a coincidence or is the PGA suddenly worried its superstar may be enhancing his game illegally?

Personally, I don’t know why Tiger would feel the need to do roids anyway, since the guy already is a freak of nature without any help. I think he just decided to bulk up for the sake of getting into better shape.

Couch Potato Alert (9/22)

After last weekend’s huge college football lineup, where there were seven intra-Top 25 matchups, this week is a bit of a letdown. Still, there are some good games on tap, including the PSU/OSU tilt and the Bullz-Eye College Football Game of the Week featuring Notre Dame battling Michigan St. On Sunday, there are several good NFL early in the day, with the Bengals/Steelers, Jags/Colts and the Bears/Vikings squaring off at 1 PM. It should be a great scene in New Orleans, as the Saints return to the Superdome Monday night for the first time since Hurricane Katrina. They face the Falcons, and the winner will be in first place in the NFC South.
