TIM BRANDO’S BALLS CUT LIKE KNIVES

Tim Brando must play golf with the new Titleist Mutilator:

Former Auburn quarterback Stan White had his Regions Charity Classic pro-am round cut short this morning when he was struck in the head by an errant tee-shot on the sixth hole.

According to eyewitnesses, White was autographing a football about 50 yards from the tee-box when CBS Sports announcer Tim Brando’s shot hit right behind one of White’s ears.

We spent a lot of time at the golf course as a kid, and in between clearly illustrating to our very disappointed father that we could not be successful at even the most genteel of sports, we were hit with every possible variation of golf shot. We never had to get stitches for any of them. Stan White received “three or four stitches” for the cut resulting from Brando’s errant shot, which means Tim Brando is clearly hopped up on cut-rate Mexican steroids.

Brando, when not making EXTREMELY enthusiastic appearances at the pregame and halftime breaks of CBS college football broadcasts, also evidently takes driving lessons from Charles Barkley.

Combined with this golf swing, the fact that he just got interviewed by the New Republic, and that he spent a lot of his free time throwing people through bar windows after they “picked fights with him,” we’ve just set one of our goals in life as having dinner with Charles Barkley. (And judging from the shot above, dessert will be part of the package.)

LEATHER HELMET THURSDAY: OBSERVATIONS ON “THE MISSING RING.”

Thursday in this neighborhood during the offseason will be Leather Helmet Thursdays, an attempt to remind everyone that college football was played en masse before the year 1990, and that it was still totally and completely awesome unless you were a Florida fan.

Our retro vibe today will be keyed by our recent reading of Keith Dunnavant’s The Missing Ring: How Bear Bryant and the 1966 Alabama Crimson Tide Were Denied College Football’s Most Elusive Prize.

To set the mood, and give you your mandatory Keith Jackson fix for the day:

The title follows the holy “FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE: EXPLANATORY PHRASE HERE” model, so we feel like docking points instantly. (more…)

LOLQBS, VOL. 2: TRESSEL HAS SCHRUTESLEEVES

We’ve decided that Thursday’s curriculum should be art and history. The history’s coming up a little bit later. First, your art for the morning.

1. Wilford Brimley jokes are always great. Add Joe Tiller, and we’re talking canon material here. Someone call Allan Harold Bloom…

2. We’ve never trusted a man in a sweatervest, and we definitely can’t trust a man who wears short sleeves with a tie, much less that ensemble with a sweater. (more…)
