Casey Michel — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 23:15:14 EST

Shakespeare had it right -- insults, like words, are meaningless. But don't try telling that to Phil Mickelson or Elisha Cuthbert.

Gary D. Benz — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:02:32 EDT

This time, the tone is different, and I can't help but feel bad for her and wonder if the golf gods hate her.Michelle has stepped back to a part-time schedule now that she is a...
