The Sports Guy stops by the set of SportsNation to talk about his new book “The Book of Basketball.”
This is a great commercial. Surprising that it was a web-only initiative, but really cool nonetheless:
This is hilarious! Charles Barkley has successfully gone from having the worst golf swing of all time, to a respectable one. Golf instructor Hank Haney (Tiger’s swing coach) took it upon himself to dedicate an entire show called The Haney Project where he personally fixes Charles Barkley’s hideous swing.
