Sergio Garcia's ongoing verbal sparring with Tiger Woods continued Tuesday night in Europe with what could be perceived as a racial reference for which the Spaniard later issued an apology.

Garcia, who took issue with Woods for what he viewed as a breach of golf course etiquette during the third round of The Players Championship two weeks ago, was asked in jest at a European Tour function if he would be inviting Woods to dinner during next month's U.S. Open.

"We'll have him round every night,'' Garcia said, according to The Guardian, a British newspaper. "We will serve fried chicken.''

A cheeky shareholder would ask why they were paying those hundreds of people if they can seemingly get by without them now. These are probably ancillary positions, and not with the production teams. This is also likely posturing to deal with the upcoming competition from Fox. ]]> General Sports XX http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=1433425 Tennis: Roland Garros 2013 - The French Open http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=1432805&goto=newpost Tue, 21 May 2013 21:36:40 GMT Murray officially out of Roland Garros.

How is it unfair to players who walk a lot? They had walks when DiMaggio played. It clearly says a hitting streak. ]]> General Sports JDinklage Morgoone http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=1428227 Michael Jordan vs Diego Maradona? http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=1425533&goto=newpost Tue, 21 May 2013 17:56:09 GMT ---Quote (Originally by Corto)--- That is VERY debatable.

Maradona certainly had the highest peak and the most genius, generation-defining moments in football history.

Quite honestly, while not as flashy, I think Zidane and Ronaldo were "greater" players than Pele, and quite possibly Maradona.

But not one of them is as famous as Maradona.
I can't think of any athlete that is.

Again, outside of North America, football is the #1 sport. By far. It's on a completely different level.
Yeah, you have rugby in some countries, cricket in some others, baseball in Japan...
But even then, football is #2 there.

I absolutely love the American culture of sports, the playoffs, the family atmosphere at games, etc.
But you guys have no idea what you're missing out on when the World Cup comes along.
Yes this is all true and maradona also took Napoli to 4 consecutive scudettos, I highly doubt pele could pull that off. He's better than pele and a bigger global icon than michael jordan. ]]> General Sports ushvinder http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=1425533 F1 2013 Season - Part I http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=1290747&goto=newpost Tue, 21 May 2013 03:11:22 GMT
