Wie takes second at SBS Open
February 17, 2009
By Mike Sullivan
Michelle Wie made her rookie debut on the LPGA Tour this Valentine’s weekend. Wie finished the second round tied for the lead with Angela Stanford. After holding a three stroke lead heading down the back nine Wie hit into a hazard on the Eleventh hole for a double bogie. In combination with a missed shot put on Sixteen it was over. Stanford overtook Wie in a flurry with three straight birdies. This was Stanford’s third win in her last seven tournaments. Despite the loss for Wie, she is off to a stellar start.

Colt Brennan Update
August 17, 2008
By Dave K.
The Washington Redskins played in their third pre-season game against Brett Favre and the NY Jets. The game was broadcasted by Comcast Sports Network so I was not able to watch it. I hope some of you were lucky enough to watch it at a bar or at home.
Upon reviewing the highlights and statistics of the game, it appears Colt Brennan did fairly well. Colt went 4-5 for 79 yards, one touchdown, and was sacked twice. The touchdown gave the Redskins the lead for good. Compare that with Brett Favre’s stats of 5-6 for 48 yards, one touchdown, and was sacked once, I say Colt held his own and did a great job!
The next pre-season game for the Redskins is at Carolina on Saturday, August 23rd at 7:30 p.m., EST. Again, the game will not be on network television.
We’re cheering for you Colt! Keep it up!
