Golfing It Up
Hello from beautiful Lake Tahoe! Actually let's make that smoky and beautiful. The fires around here have wiped out just about any view we might have had looking across the lake. But who cares, right? It's Tahoe, the land of casinos, boats and 83 of the biggest celebs and athletes.
Yesterday we set up shop in the back of the club house and piggybacked off of the guys doing satellite interviews. At times it was a bit of a battle to grab someone in between random affiliates and ESPN but we made it work.
So check out the video section for...
I sat down with Tony Romo, Carson Palmer and John Elway and got their thoughts on the situation with Brett Favre and Greenbay.
One of the greatest things up right now is the clip of John Elway imitating Charles Barkley's golf swing. Of every person I asked to do it, he was the only one who claimed to be capable of mimicking it. It's great.
Jason Kidd spoke to me about Brandon Jennings and the possibility of him skipping over the mandatory one year in college to instead play a year over in Europe. It was interesting to get Kidd's take because he knows Jennings.
I semi a bit made fun of Ben Roethlisberger for wearing sandals and his golf socks. He fired back asking what was wrong with them. After going back and forth, we called it even when we realized we had a mutual love for Florida State. The very first jersey he ever bought was Warrick Dunn.

John O'Hurley is quite the character. He golfed with Matty Blake yesterday and I met up with them on the 18th hole. After going over Matty's wardrobe selection for the day, John told me I had to see the way his caddy holds a club. It's insane. The guy has one hand completely twisted all the way around, the other holding it normal. It might not look pretty but it sure does work. John and I walked down the stretch together chatting it up and laughing at the length of time it took that group to make it to the end.
Lawrence Taylor is massive. Enough said.
Lou Holtz is absolutely as sweet as you can imagine. I met him on the driving range today and asked if I could speak with him later. He responded by saying: "Has anyone ever told you no?" I said: "Not yet." He laughed and then said: "That's what I thought."
Ok I could keep going but I have to run out with the great Brett "THE INTERN" Bandermark who is planning on introducing me to Charles Barkley. There is so much more to come. So keep checking!
