BURBERRY DONE PROUD

Burberry babe Adam Scott cruised to a three-stroke victory at the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club yesterday in Atlanta, Georgia yesterday. Being one of the few men who can pull off plaid pants, Scott raked in his fourth career PGA Tour victory, and earned his fine-ass the last spot at Kapalua for the winners-only Mercedes-Benz Championship that kicks off the 2007 season. With a purse of $1.17 million, hottie finished a career-high third on the PGA Tour money list and if the Athlebrity gods are smiling on Scott during the upcoming tourneys in Asia, he could spank Phil Mickelson and his wife outta the number three world ranking spot by the end of the year. And nothing would make me happier.

TIGER WOODS ON COURSE
Tiger Woods has been a busy little bee. Over the weekend, he and Charles Barkley were spotted at the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Carlos Baldomir boxing match at the Mandalay Bay in Vegas. And no doubt, Woods asked Barkley his opinion about his latest project. Today, the mighty beast announced the creation of Tiger Woods Designs; a golf course design company that plans to create “enjoyable challenging” courses around the world. “My goal is to provide a unique collection of amazing courses all over the world that represent what I love about golf,” Tiger Woods said. “I’m very excited to announce the formation of this company and get to work on finding the right projects for my first few courses.”

“I’ve had the luxury of playing golf around the world, and I’ve spent a lot of time evaluating how to play all kinds of courses,” Woods said. “I’d like to share my experience and the lessons I’ve learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses. There are golfers everywhere that may never get a chance to play a links course in Scotland, a tree-lined course in America or the sand belts of Australia. Hopefully I can bring some of those elements into their backyards. I wanted to wait until I felt I had enough golf experience to launch Tiger Woods Design. I’ve been working very hard over the last decade to get a feel for all kinds of courses and really understand the best elements of design. Now, I feel I’ve logged enough time and learned enough lessons to start this venture.” No word yet on whether his designs will include crawl worthy greens, but my money says they do.

WHERE WAS MATTHEW?

The mayor of New York congratulated Lance Armstrong as he crossed the finish line after completing the New York City marathon. Armstrong, who was hoping to finish in less than 3 hours, crossed the finish line at 2 hours, 59 minutes and 37 seconds. What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty, mighty good man. “I think I bit off more than I could chew, I thought the marathon would be easier,” he said. “(My shins) started to hurt in the second half, especially the right one. I could barely walk up here, because the calves are completely knotted up.” Sounds like someone needs a massage?

CHELSEA BLUES

My Chelsea wing-girl wasn’t able to watch the game with me, so I kept her up to date via text messages. When I told her that Tot’Ham was up 2-1 and John Terry had been spanked via a red-card, her response was poignant and profound. “Son of a motherless goat.” Unfortunately, because she couldn’t see how fine the son of a motherless goat looked topless, I was forced to whip out my camera and capture the magic. This was a big game fueled by passion, power and energy, as Chelsea lost to the Tot’ham Spurs for the first time in 33 league matches.

IN OTHER MATCHES

I had to be held back from molesting this photo of super fine West Ham stud, Bobby Zamora (C) who restrained sexy Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehman (2nd L) from whooping some ass during Arsenals loss. In another part of the world, fans weren’t having such a great time (far right). As one policeman laughs, fans of the International football team run outta the Olimpico stadium as the riot police snipe out supporters of the Gremio team during a match of the Brazilian championship yesterday. Looks like fun.

I’m all for European men kissing each other, but not when the world is watching, and not when your shorts are riding up your butt. Real Madrid’s Ronaldo and Beckham shared an intimate moment before Real Madrid lost to (Spanish league) Celta 2-1. Ronaldo was later seen crying, as Beckham astutely followed a topless Fabio Cannavaro from the field.

CARMELO ANTHONY GETS COVERED

Electronic Arts announced today that Carmelo Anthony will be the cover athlete of NBA STREET Homecourt, the fourth chapter in the 3-on-3 basketball videogame franchise. Melo has already appeared on the covers of NCAA® March Madness 2004 and NBA Live 2005, and this newest cover will make him the first athlete to ever appear on the cover of all three of EA’s basketball franchises. “I credit a lot of who I am today as a player to my days playing on the streets in Baltimore,” said Melt-in-my-mouth. “My homecourt in Baltimore will always be a part of who I am, because that’s where I gained the skill and desire that has made me successful in basketball. NBA STREET Homecourt represents real street basketball and the place where it all started for me.” Damn Melo- pa-leeze, stop teasing me with those arms!

NBA CRACKDOWN
If you so much as grunt during a dunk, you could be fined. Under the new “show no emotion” NBA rules, Melo has been ejected. So have Rasheed Wallace, Mike Bibby and a host of other edibles. According to Peter May of the Boston Globe, hotties and coaches were called for 30 technical fouls in the first 17 games this season, in comparison to the seven technical fouls that were called in the first 17 games last season. Tempers are flaring and passion is taking over as our sexy ballers comment.

Detroit bad-boy, and repeat offender Rasheed Wallace (L) on Commissioner Stern: “He’s trying to turn players into robots because of the dress code and with this no-tolerance law. It takes the fun out of the game.” After receiving his third spanking of the season Saturday, Wallace said, “They’re going to have to do something about this crazy zero-tolerance law. That’s retarded. In my mind, it’s kind of like a slave and master or father and son. You’ve got your little son and (you say) don’t say nothing back to me — and to me, that’s totally wrong. It ain’t like that in any other sport” The 76ers tattooed kitten Allen Iverson said, “These things have nothing to do with the game. I don’t see no reason to concentrate on stuff like that — the officiating, the shorts and wristbands, dress code.” And I couldn’t agree more-except for the shorts, I always got one eye on those.
