If you thought that Tiger Wood’s female troubles weren’t going to have an impact on the sales of all things Tiger, look no further than with his video game.  Copies of EA Sports “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11″ were down…WAY DOWN.  According to Destructiod:

According to GamesIndustry.biz, sales were down 68% year-over-year across all platforms, but the drop for the Wii version was the most precipitous at 86%; with some simple math, that comes out to a meager 38,100 sales in June 2010 versus 272,400 in June 2009.

Wow that is HUUUUGE. Don’t think Nike and any other company using Tiger’s likeness to sell their shit isn’t paying attention to this. Makes one wonder where Nike’s Tiger apparel sales are currently as compared to a year or two ago.

I’m betting they aren’t nearly as good. I mean who wants to be caught rollin’ around town decked out in Tiger’s gear. Even if you fashioned yourself as a bit of player, if you’re wearing that gear you have got to be radioactive to women. There will be a fallout zone of at least 5 feet around you for sure.

Just when Tiger needs the money the most, its getting tougher and tougher for him to make that cash.

No wonder he’s not winning anything right now.

ed. note: Yes, i do know the headline is using horrific grammar. It is supposed to be horrific.

So there I was dodging dingos with a Mini up my ass and I said, “Hey, what am I doing at this race track?”

An auto race in Brisbane, Australia went even further down under when two cars clipped and one flipped into the crowd. Spectators had to run for safety after it went over the safety rail and into the crowd.

Only two people were hit by the car and neither suffered life-threatening injuries. Both should recover in time to be attacked by one of ten of the most poisonous snakes in the world or a randy kangaroo.

If the horny kangaroo doesn’t finish the job, the boxing one will get all Oz on that ass.

Funtimeinternet’s Scott Stephenson took it upon himself to hit up a pro-am golf tournament and ask some celebrities questions of varying silliness. The answers that he gets, of course, are the stars here. Some athletes play along, others, not so much. Here’s a couple of the good ones transcribed for you if you don’t want to sit through the video:

Stephenson to Kenny Lofton, “Throughout your career, you were known for stealing bases. Do you want to steal a golf cart with me?”

Lofton, “Ah, I can do that!”

And

Stephenson to Charles Barkley, “You had a video game, ‘Barkley Shut Up And Jam’, do you still maintain the stance that players should shut up and jam?

Barkley (not quite getting the joke),  ”Heh, naw man. I love the players, ya know, they’re so talented.”

Stephenson again, “You were in the movie Space Jam.  Was that real?”

Barkley (starting to get that this is a joke), “Well just another example of me making Michael Jordan look better than he is.

Ok, enough transcribing, watch the video if you wanna chuckle a little. If you stick through to the end, you will see the proof that Kenny Lofton is a great sport with this video. Not that it’s hilarious, just makes like the fact that Lofton seems like a guy that is pretty laid back and not just there to dole out the typical boring athlete-speak. He’s there to have some fun.

You can say one thing about the Deuce. We’ll never whore ourselves out to Jim Gray and ESPN in order to give back to the children.

Here’s a message from NBA players who aren’t as fortunate as Delonte West. Feel free to share with your kids, legitimate or not.

Winston Bennett says that’s wrong on so many levels.

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve had headlines, so what did we miss?  You knew I wasn’t going to write about that guy in South Florida.  And don’t even think there would have been anything related to the ole’ Gunslinger, either. On to some headlines:

• A story on ESPN New York reports Joba Chamberlain may be out of a job and possibly on the trading block.

I know no one works in NYC past noon on summer Fridays, but don’t you think Andrew Marchand mailed this one in a little early?  New York sports writers have to be the most unoriginal collection of “journalists” in the country.  Other than this ESPN article being written as if it belonged in US Weekly, it’s based completely off of conjecture and fear-mongering, if there was such a thing in sports writing.  Let’s get real: Chamberlain is 24 years old, has four pretty good pitches, throws hard, doesn’t get injured, had a sub-3.00 ERA in the playoffs last season, and has been jerked around pretty much his entire career amidst ridiculous expectations.  Even with his 5.79 ERA (in only 37 innings), his K/BB ratio is 2.85 (Jonathan Papelbon is 2.6 and Carlos Marmol is 2.8).  And you want to run him out of town?  You’re an idiot.  Stop following Lupica around and do some actual reporting.

• John Daly shot an opening round 66 to start 6 under at the British Open.

By the time you read this, there’s a good chance Daly has had a meltdown and will actually be 6 over for the

John Daly: American Hero.

tournament, but hey, I’m rooting for him.  If you have the stones to dress like this, then you have my support.  Plus, he drinks diet coke and rips Marlboros like a sorority girl in between classes. 

• The 2010 ESPYs took place in Los Angeles, CA.

“Hey, let’s spend a boatload of money to dedicate an entire evening to collectively stroking the egos of perhaps the most ego-maniacal people in the world.”  No thanks.  Not even Erin Andrews could save that mess of painfully unfunny performances and horrible-looking suits.

• This year’s MLB All-Star Game received the lowest rating in history.

Big deal.  Television ratings are forever skewed because people have about 300 other options of things to watch as opposed to an overly-commercialized exhibition that doesn’t mean very much.  It certainly doesn’t help when you put 82 guys on the roster and the manager leaves the one with the most home runs on the bench at the end of the game, but what are you gonna do?  By the way, Alex Rodriguez has 299 career stolen bases.  David Ortiz has 10.  Just saying…

• As training camp approaches, Terrell Owens remains unsigned.

I think at this point T.O. probably isn’t a real difference maker for any team, but it’d be great to see him on the Jets or somewhere else high profile so he could completely and utterly submarine the team’s season in front of a national audience.  Personally, I think he belongs in Washington with the rest of the 2004 Pro Bowl team, but that’s just me.  It’d be hilarious to watch Little Danny continue his trek into Steinbrenner-dom by bringing in T.O. to implode the team while Mike Shanahan hides in a tanning bed.  Or, everyone could get along and the team would just stink as usual.  That could be fun, too.

• George Steinbrenner, ship-building magnate,  died at the age of 80.

It was pretty easy to hate Steinbrenner in the 80′s and 90′s, but as he got older and the team maintained a semblance of calm, it was hard not to see him as a caricature of his former blustery self.  For me, the jury is still out.  You can’t classify Steinbrenner as anything but an enigma: a guy with major daddy issues who was a real jerk when it came to business, but tried to rectify his extreme churlishness by being nice to sick kids and poor people.

Could the Yankees have won more in the 80′s and 90′s if King George kept quiet?  Sure, but who is to say they wouldn’t have been worse if Big Stein kept the mega profits he made off the team and didn’t instill a culture of fear winning at all costs within his organization?  The casual acceptance of being mediocre on the field but still being profitable off it is what has plagued teams in huge markets like the Mets, Cubs or Dodgers for years.  In any case, New York won’t be the same without him.

Ok, that’s it for me.  Have a great weekend.  RIP Boss.  You may be gone, but never forgotten.
