Response to Old Spice Man

  • Posted on: Monday July 19, 2010 at 9:00 AM

You may have heard about the bare-chested phenom that took over the internet last week, Old Spice Man.

NOTE: In case you missed it, it was an inventive viral ad campaign by Old Spice, in which they crafted a character "Old Spice Man," a funny dude dressed in a towel who created one hundred personalized "response" videos to pretty much every celebrity, media site, and random person who sent him a tweet question. The whole stint got Old Spice instant viral fame. See video:

Well, in response, here's a video from an EVERY DAY Man, (i.e. Oh Doctah), who essentially tells Old Spice Man to eat dust.

It's good.

 
 
 

Shot of the Year: Miguel Angel Jimenez Goes Off The Wall

  • Posted on: Saturday July 17, 2010 at 5:00 PM

After a wayward 3rd shot on the 17th hole at St. Andrews, Miguel Angel Jimenez gave us a shot that one wouldn't even attempt at mini golf for fear of injury, much less at the biggest golf tournament of the year. Stuck almost flush against a stone barrier, Jimenez showed some outside-the-box thinking and turned his back to the hole, ricocheted his shot off the wall and somehow managed to land the ball on the green. His playing partner's reaction pretty much says it all.

Meanwhile, we would like to make a bit of an abstract analogy, if you will follow along. We reveled in John Daly's dinner attire at the Champions dinner. If you can believe it, he ramped it up a notch when he actually hit the course. We maintain that these pants are the wardrobe equivalent of Jimenez's golf shot. Who's with us?

British Open 2010: John Daly Came to Play

The British Open started early Thursday at St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf. Standing among golf luminaries at the British Open champions dinner, including Lee Trevino, Tom Watson and Tiger Woods, it was John Daly's star that shone brightest, so to speak. Daly won this tournament in 1995, and it seems the blue-collar kid with the long drive is back and he came to play.

After Round 1, Daly is in the clubhouse, tied for third with an impressive -6.

Can we all take a minute and give it up for the governing body of the Open Championship, the Royal and Ancient, who seem to be letting their hair down a little bit. Sergio Garcia will play the tournament sporting his nation's football jersey to honor their World Cup triumph.

"It would be churlish to object, wouldn't it, given their great win. I personally have no objections to it whatsoever," the R&A's chief executive Peter Dawson told a news conference Wednesday.

As for Daly's technicolor dreamcoat? "I was sitting opposite him at dinner, so I had it all night, and my eyesight survived," Dawson quipped. Survived? We should all be so lucky, we say.
