Woods on Hockey

There are definitely some reasons not to like Tiger Woods, but here is one more to like him. While in Detroit to promote this August's PGA Championship (held in one of the city's suburbs), Woods was asked who he thought would win the Stanley Cup:

"Detroit or Pittsburgh," a reporter asked.

Woods chuckled, "I don't really care...I don't think anybody really watches hockey anymore."

To someone who hates hockey (and hockey's annoying little brother, soccer), this is music to my ears. The best thing about the story was seeing the precious few hockey fans bashing Tiger Woods on the ESPN forums. They dropped the cliches you'd expect to hear (along the lines of Tiger being a golf pussy and questioning the validity of golf as a sport), but the fact of the matter is that one user summed it up best:

"...Tiger is bigger than your entire sport."

Tiger's Knee is Fine

You heard it hear first: Tiger Woods didn't have surgery! It was a fabricated story from the minds of Andy North and Scott Van Pelt to explain why he did not win the Masters this year. After all, Augusta National is "so hilly," so not even God Himself could win at the course with a knee problem. Surely it had nothing to do with the fact that Woods could not make a putt to save his life.
