A car that looks like a lot more like something out of a European rally race than anything Detroit ever made; a point’s leader that is arguably one of the most arrogant asses in sports driving a Japanese car; and races that rank a half-step above curling on the boredom meter: what else could go wrong with NASCAR this year?

Big Brown’s trainer, Rick Dutrow, nonchalantly informed reporters that, yeah, he injected his horses with the anabolic steroid Winstrol on the 15th of every month, but that Big Brown hadn’t been juiced since late April, the reaction was, ‘Whoa, wait a minute, you do what?”

On the final green of the final day, Nicklaus conceded Jacklin’s two-foot putt which led to the first-ever tie in the Ryder Cup. And the two have been milking that act ever since. But, to find the greatest act of sportsmanship in golf, you have to go back to 1926 and look at one of the greatest amateur players not named Bobby Jones who ever lived.

The reason for the kilt, and the bagpipes, and the haggis, a tasty mixture of sheep guts and onions stuffed in the animal’s stomach and boiled for several hours, was a bi-annual tournament called the Ailsa Cup. Held at Turnberry on the west coast of Scotland, the event pitted golf writers from the U.S. against a team of fellow scribes from the EU.
