Cal’s Snake Oil: Coach Cal can satisfy all of your holiday shopping needs

December 13, 2010

February 22, 2009

Jalen Rose, the cocked-lipped, wide-tied ESPN NBA analyst and former University of Michigan free agent, said the word ‘great’ during the taping of NBA Live last night, bringing his total non-pronoun vocabulary to five words.  ‘Great’ has been added to ‘he’, ‘is’, ‘a’, and ‘player’, making Rose one of the most linguisticly-talented analysts at ESPN.  Rose now trails only Emmitt Smith, Jay Williams, and Eric Young among ESPN’s best-built vocabularies.

In preparation for Tiger Woods’ return to the PGA Tour next week, Phil Mickelson is  growing a mullet.

“Look, Tiger’s losin’ the hair and I know he can’t be happy about it,” said Mickelson, whose third round 62 blistered Riviera Country Club on Saturday. “I’m going to let my freak flag fly.  The knee will be the least of Tiger’s worries now.”
