For a large percentage of the folks who savour the sport, smoking cigars and playing golf become hand-in-hand. You'll see guys lighting upwardly a stogie in skilful weather and in bad, during a skilful round and through the shanks. And it seems as though the wealthier the golfer, the more abundant the cigars.
Which brings me to our bailiwick today, the Honorary Assistant Captain of the US President'due south Cup Team, Michael Jeffrey Hashemite kingdom of jordan, "His Airness". This weekend the 8th President's Cup will be hosted at Harding Park in San Francisco, pitting a talented United states of america Team versus an International Squad comprised of the superlative twelve players in the world outside of the U.s. and continental Europe. Harding Park is a municipal course owned by the Parks and Recreations of San Francisco, and hosting a tournament of this magnitude is a tremendous and distinct honor. And for Jordan beingness selected an Honorary assistant to Captain Fred Couples is some other neat perk for the basketball fable and celebrity.
Jordan spotted preparing for his role as Honorary Banana Helm... in Cabo!
Along with being a course of the people comes the laws of the people, specifically wellness ordinances recently put into play. Fiddling known fact: San Francisco banned the smoking of cigars (and cigarettes of form) as role of a metropolis-wide ordinance to keep the city parks smoke-free. And Harding is certainly near the top of the listing in terms of kept up Parks in the city. I'll also vouch for beautifully kept Fleming, the nine-pigsty executive course located on the aforementioned property between Harding's front and back 9.
Honorary Assistant Captain Jordan was spotted on Tuesday at Harding in a practice round with a very large stogie simmering abroad. Heck we have the pictures to prove it. Only problem is, if the urban center wanted to prosecute, the nearly they could do is ship him a ticket for a measly $100. One would estimate Jordan could pay the fine with one of the benjamins he uses to calorie-free a new cigar, but he doesn't, he uses old thousand dollar bills and would take to inquire for change.
His Airness afterwards he heard about the $100 fine
So the contend rages on: Should Jordan obey the social club from the urban center or should he ignore it for this special occasion? He was asked most the topic and responded by saying he knew it was wrong but thought he could slide by in this situation. Asked in an interview by PGATour.com how many cigars he would fume during the week, "I would say (it's) a three-cigar round. I would try to go on it at a minimum of three." That's correct, a MINIMUM of three per day.
After farther review, I think the city should uphold its ordinance in this situation, and follow Jordan around the grade all calendar week. If/when he smokes three per day, over the adjacent 5 days, send him 15 tickets at $100 a popular. For a guy like Hashemite kingdom of jordan this is tip money at most, and in a city like San Francisco his coin is more than welcome. Whether or not I concord with the ordiannce is a different story, but the police force is the law! Reflecting back on his recent Hall of Fame induction speech, Hashemite kingdom of jordan's not the only one who can leave a bad taste in someone'due south rima oris…

I tin can't do KKK jokes? But I accept so many!!
09-24-09 – In the final installment of "Coaches Gone Wild", nosotros're treated to a true 'Pearl of Wisdom'. If Bruce Pearl thought his job was tough before throwing around race jokes at clemency events, the side by side few months should prove to be several times worse. Pearl, the head men's basketball coach at the University of Tennessee, was one of the featured speakers at a commencement for clemency fundraiser among Tennessee Valley Say-so employees. He took questions from the crowd, and one person asked him about his iii new players this twelvemonth. Part of his response was as follows:
"I've got a tough job. I've got to put these guys from different worlds together, right? I've got guys from Chicago, Detroit. I'm talking nigh the hood! And I've got guys from Grainger County, where they clothing the hood!" Pearl said. After a suspension, he added, "That wasn't function of the script."
Bruce Pearl: The V is for Volatile
The Apology:
"This forenoon while speaking at a individual kick-off consequence for a great organization that benefits many local charities, I made a statement in jest to describe the diverse group our staff recruits yr-in and year-out.
"Unfortunately while I was trying to excite the crowd and encourage employees to give, I made an inappropriate joke. I certainly did not intend to offend anyone and I apologize to everyone, especially the people of Grainger County.
"In no style am I trying to justify what I said, but I'thousand disappointed that the focus has been placed on me rather than the charities I was there to help. My only hope is that the visibility of this mistake will encourage those who tin can to requite to those in demand during these difficult times."
Can yous tell which 1 had to where a costume to look similar a domestic dog?
The man is charismatic, there's no denying that, as evidenced in the photograph where he painted a "5" on his chest in support of the Lady Vols. He's a neat motivator and speaker, patently knowing his audience there in Tennessee to a mistake. Even the folks from the county to which Pearl refers, Grainger, didn't accept a trouble with the annotate and laughed it off, saying they understood it to be a joke. That'southward fine, I judge, but what about the kids he referred to from "the hood"? So far we haven't heard from them, and I dubiousness we will, but I'm curious to know what they recall.
Subsequently farther review, Bruce Pearl seems to exist getting a costless pass and that really worries me. It shouldn't be ok for a autobus to slip upward and depict race cards to excite the crowd. The fact that the crowd enabled the joke to succeed, at a clemency event, is pretty scary as well… but that's a different story for a dissimilar day. I simply hope Bruce Pearl can think of amend means in the future of getting his audience to donate to charity.

Autobus Locksley: Fault waiting to happen
09-20-09 – Part III of our continuing saga brings to calorie-free the story of New Mexico head passenger vehicle Mike Locksley, who reportedly punched an assistant coach in the confront and split his lip. New Mexico able-bodied managing director Paul Krebs said Locksley was issued "a verbal reprimand" with a follow-upwardly letter placed in his personnel after the Sept. xx altercation. Nice slap on the wrist for a punch in the face up, don't yous recollect?
Fortunately we exercise take police reports available to help better understand the situation. Co-ordinate to the report filed, wide receivers bus J.B. Gerald said the fight happened during a coaches meeting that became heated, and before he knew it Locksley had grabbed Gerald by the collar and punched. Apparently other coaches tried to intervene.
Able-bodied director Krebs evidently tried to pawn the scuffle off past saying information technology'due south not unusual in higher football for coaches to take "heated discussions" during staff meetings. He did admit "this one crossed the line," however it was just earlier expressing continued back up for Coach Locksley, whom he hired afterwards last flavor.
"I do not believe this is a reflection of his dealings. Information technology'due south non a reflection of his grapheme. This does not shake my faith in his leadership whatever," Krebs told reporters. I disagree, as every action you take defines your character, expert or bad. Fortunately for Coach Locksley, Gerald told police he didn't want to file charges afterwards receiving an apology from Locksley that extended to Gerald, the coaching staff and the team as a whole. "I would also similar to apologize to Lobo fans," Locksley said. "Similar I remind our players, when mistakes are made, you lot acknowledge them and deal with the consequences."
At commencement they thought this was a impaired idea... now? not so much
It's ever nice to know the school Advertising has your back when decided to physically assault someone in a meeting room. AD Krebs went so far as to say he considers the thing resolved, blaming the incident on the stress of coaching, and saying it was probably worsened by New Mexico'southward winless start (0-iv). They fifty-fifty lost rival New Mexico St., which hadn't happened in 6 years. Yeah, that's right Ad, arraign it on the squad'due south inefficiency on the football field, which by the way is unremarkably a direct reflection of a squad's coaching.
Not to bring up his past or anything, only… Coach Locksley, a beginning-year omnibus at UNM, is accused of sexual harassment, age discrimination and retaliation in an Equal Employment Opportunity Committee complaint filed last spring by a former football authoritative assistant. Apparently Locksley said he simply wanted immature woman working in the athletic section to help attract recuirts. Again, Advertisement Krebs said that case is "close to resolution" simply wouldn't discuss the details. Why would he? Sounds like Coach Locksley is a walking liability at this point.
Definitely scarier if they used their coach'southward confront instead
AD Krebs was asked what kind of beliefs would result in a suspension for the charabanc, a peachy question considering the light punishment for the attack. He responded that he wasn't intimately familiar with the academy's personnel rules and defended his decision to reprimand Locksley. No kidding! "Based on what I know, I thought information technology was an appropriate penalty," Krebs said. Fourth dimension to pull out the rule volume, and perhaps start looking for a new job!
Meanwhile Coach Locksley's designated punching bag, Gerald, wasn't with the team in practice last week before the New Mexico State loss. Supposedly Locksley asked Gerald personally to return, but he has not made an advent back with the team. Can yous blame him???

A true crime of passion
08/05/09 – This story comes to united states thank you to a local Bay Area "role model", Tom Cable. For those who don't recognize the proper name, Mr. Cable is the latest Head Charabanc of the Oakland Raiders. Over the summertime at their practise facility in Napa, Tom allegedly felt it would be appropriate to punch an banana, Randy Hanson, in the face during a meeting. Hanson reportedly suffered either a broken jaw or cheek os, the bodily result of the assault is nonetheless unconfirmed. As you tin see the story is non exactly cutting and dry, so allow me provide a little more groundwork on the he-said-she-said situation.
Oh, and I promised to become easy on the Raider jokes, not because I have several buddies who are Raider fans just more considering I know Cable must alive within an hour's drive of my house, and that's way too close.
Tom Cable'southward Brain: Enlarged for better viewing
Remember the Napa Police Dept. is notwithstanding investigating the assault from August 5thursday, so nothing is official at this signal. The initial investigation was delayed because Hanson, a defensive assistant, was not cooperating at the fourth dimension. Hanson stuck with the claim that he was hurt when his face hit a cabinet after the chair he was sitting in was flipped over by Cablevision at the team's training camp facility in Napa. However, the case was re-opened and Hanson is now working regime after existence told by owner Al Davis that he would not become his old job dorsum. Of a sudden his face hurts a lot more, probably feels a little similar the way Al's face looks, actually.
Then there is Cable'due south side of the story. He told one-time college teammate and electric current ESPN NFL Analyst Marker Schlereth that aught happened, and that this was an internal affair. Patently the report from Chris Mortensen at ESPN that said Cable attacked Hanson after the assistant verbally contested something defensive coordinator John Marshall had said was totally false. He doesn't seem to exist brushing anything nether the rug, does he?
That'southward right, you better start running...
The story I liked the best? The National Football Postal service reported on Thursday Baronial 20th that Cablevision choked Hanson during the confrontation and threatened to kill Hanson. The NFP also reported that the set on happened afterwards Cablevision told Hanson he was being relegated from an on-field coach with defensive backs to breaking down film. I also love how the Napa Police won't release names but the NFP has no problem with information technology. By the style that sounds like a fun meeting room, all kinds of action and you could really experience the love, tin't you? How practice yous spell dysfun… nevermind.
So later further review I will reserve my own opinion until responsibility is either taken or given here. Mr. Cable you tin residue for at present. But believe me: I'll be back to this mail service when the time comes. And nothing is sacred!

Isaiah: poster boy for coaches with bug...
If y'all are a new coach at whatsoever level, whether it's high schoolhouse, college, or professional athletics, boy do I take a treat for you this calendar week! With the rash of poor decisions being made by high profile coaches across the country, I accept compiled iv excellent examples of how non to carry as a person in such a position. Don't get me incorrect, I'm sure in that location are several others out at that place, merely these seemed to be the highest contour cases.
Each of these individuals is well versed in dealing with the media and speaking in front of large crowds. It pretty much comes with the position, considering even at the high school level coaches are asked to make speeches for groups like Booster Clubs, local Rotary chapters, or Pop Warner/Little League/etc. to encourage young athletes. By the time coaches attain higher and the pros, they are used to speaking in front of thousands and at times millions via circulate. Whether they are in front end of x media members, 100 club members, several yard students, or on TV, coaches are asked to be a leader of their community and a positive influence in all facets of life.
This week I volition present the case of each "Coach Gone Wild" starting in chronological guild of events from the summertime and early fall. We'll examine exactly what they did and where they went wrong, and believe me it won't exist very hard to find.
Brah, bathroom is that way!
07/30/09 – Hawai'i football game motorcoach Greg McMackin makes a huge blunder at the WAC media football game preview for the 2009 flavour. Coach McMackin described how Notre Dame, their opponent and guest at the 2009 Hawai'i Bowl, had done "this little (gay slur beginning with f-) dance" at a celebration the night before. He used the term not once but three times while explaining why Notre Dame might have been so fired upwards to play Hawai'i in the 2008 Hawai'i Bowl. At the banquet the night earlier, as the Fighting Irish gaelic finished their version of a "ha'a", an intense Polynesian state of war dance and chant performed past the Warrior'southward earlier each game, Motorbus McMackin had his boys show upwards the Irish with a dramatic performance of their own. Needless to say this made quite the impression on the entire banquet, and the next solar day's game was won handily by Notre Matriarch 49-21, giving them their first post-flavor victory in the past fifteen years.
Not so cool Coach, not then cool
Hither is Omnibus McMackin's caption of what happened and why: "What I was trying to practice was exist funny and it wasn't funny," he said, according to a recording of the conversation posted on the Idaho Statesman'southward Spider web site (provided beneath, with full graphic linguistic communication of original statements). "Information technology's non funny. Even more, it isn't funny to me. I was trying to make a joke and it was a bad choice of words. And I really, really experience bad about it. … It was really stupid."
Bravo Charabanc, retrospect is 20/xx, but the impairment has been done because you've fabricated it apparent the word rests on the tip of your tongue equally an insult. We the general public understands a word similar that is used a hundred times a twenty-four hour period on the field and in the weight room all across the country. Information technology's not right at that place as information technology'south not right anywhere, but those are your places and you exercise as y'all please. The WAC 2009 Preview event is definitely the terminal identify you want to use a word similar that. Cheers for bringing your locker-room mentality and verbiage out to for show and tell so the public tin fear and pity the distressing situation in athletics today.

In case you didn't see this yet, here's a feel good story that thankfully is becoming more and more than frequent. It's about sportsmanship and a love of the game going manus in mitt. Matt Ziesel has Down's syndrome, simply that didn't stop him from living out his dream of scoring a touchdown in a football game. Always prepare to play, that's how his coaches describe Matt.

Questionable Practice
And so Med Schoolhouse students are in fact dumber than they wait… at to the lowest degree according to this AP story above.
Accept a look, annihilation strike you equally a scrap contrite? Everything??
Ok, here's my favorite part of the Article…
I take to agree with the professional trendspotter, if what she said seems really obvious, that would be because Information technology IS. Medical students are in fact immature adults, not monkeys or tables, immature adults. And young adults are prone to making stupid mistakes, for which we have social networking sites such as Facebook to help remind u.s.. Just you would think someone who has passed an MCAT and received fairly decent grades in undergrad would be smart plenty to not post ridiculous and incriminating bear witness on-line. Apparently not.
Oh, and Susan Barnes, let'southward hope it does come back to haunt them because nosotros're talking about adults making these mistakes, non elementary or junior high kids. These are supposed to exist our best and brightest, the cream of the educational crop left in charge of our livelihood in many cases. Do YOU want someone who was young enough to take advantage of their position at school and work at whatsoever time in their career?
Upon Further Review: Possibly going to Med School is a Right for those who work extremely hard, but it's definitely not a Luxury and will always be a Privilege. Let united states of america permit those who don't understand or appreciate this concept weed themselves out through Natural Selection. Cheers Facebook (and YouTube), job well done!
Sad to say, laughter is non Always the best medicine…
