Beach volleyball player, Crespo.  Michael Phelps is just going to have to do a little bit more to win the award next time...  



Am I Missing Something?



Can someone please explain to me why Michelle Wie continues to play in men's golf tournaments?  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Wie has even won a single LPGA event.   I believe she was in contention after the third round of a recent tournament but was disqualified for failing to sign her scorecard.  Oops.  These forays onto the PGA tour have been happening since 2004 when Michelle was in 8th grade.  I just wonder if her parents, BJ and Bo, ever considered that it might be a good idea for their daughter to win against the women one time before taking on the guys.  Michelle is obviously a talented player as well as being a tall drink of water if I may say so (hey, she's eighteen now so don't raise that eyebrow at me), but she's getting a lot of bad advice from her parents and/or representation (business manager, agent, publicist, and/or other leeches...er...people).   If she is ever able to reel off a string of victories on the LPGA Tour, then I'm all for giving her a shot to make the cut against the men.  However, until then she would be best served trying to beat Lorena Ochoa first...
