Author's Note: This article was written Monday night, hours before Tiger made it known that he would in fact make the Masters his first event of the season. The piece is an argument as to why he MAY choose to do so, and not an explanation as to why he DID. Thank you for reading.
Ever since Tiger Woods announced his indefinite leave from golf on Dece. 11, the single biggest question hanging over him and all of golf has been: When will Tiger return?
If Tiger is bold, confident, and savvy, there’s only one answer to this question: The Masters.
Before I ...
We've all seen our fair share of our favorite sports movies of all time.
Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Miracle, The Rookie, Remember the Titans, For the Love of the Game, the list goes on and on. But how many movies haven't been made?
How many times have we watched our favorite sport and wondered if that person will ever be featured in a movie or their story be told.
In the next 15 slides, we'll take a look at those famous coaches that are yet to have their live or career portrayed in a movie and the actors that ...
It seems like just yesterday we were gearing up for the 2009 season, but now we’re five weeks away from embarking on the 2010 NFL Draft.
For the first time, the draft will be a three-day event, making the gut-wrenching anticipation a prolong event, that will gather more interest from its national spectators.
There are always plain and dull mock drafts available, but this is the first presented in a series with the needs of every franchise in comparison to the usual and a few unusual meal types you may find in your lunch menu.
1. St. Louis—Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
The Lambs in St. ...
There is a passage that says "We all fall short of the glory of God." Now is the time for all of those who may fall short by their self-righteousness to rethink their position in a lineup ranking who is the most righteous?
I asked a young man, "How do you define righteousness?" I refused to define it for him. In fact, every man or woman has to seek out the definitions for themselves. We all build our belief systems.
What is righteous to some men and women is what aligns itself with a chosen belief system.
Tiger Woods has to seek out those definitions of "right ...
Lines of demarcation exist in sports and in life to distinguish things like fair/foul, legal/illegal and more. Baseball has its foul line, football has the goal posts, and society has determined that there is something magical about a person's 18th birthday.
Basketball, I recently discovered thanks to the Lions of Yates High School in Houston, has a very unique line of demarcation that might surprise you. Yates High School is the No. 1 nationally ranked High School basketball program according to USA Today. They are a powerhouse team led by Coach Greg Wise. Please understand, when I say powerhouse, I ...
Major League Baseball has a rich history of nicknames, but not all nicknames are created equally. The league is currently flooded with lazy, uninspired nicknames that are, more accurately, abbreviations that hold no real meaning.
Some, for instance A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez) and Arm-Ram (Aramis Ramirez) are better left without meaning. Both monikers are better suited to something you would find in the adult section of the video store. Other nicknames are stretches or just sound ridiculous. Jimmy "J-Roll" Rollins comes to mind.
To set some basic ground rules, this list is limited to players that have adopted their nicknames as ...

Before the next time Torii Hunter opens his mouth, he should think over what he wants to say or get a dictionary.
If Hunter gets a big booing on Opening Day in Los Angeles, he better know for the future. He deserves it.
Hunter referred to Latinos as "impostors" while discussing the number of present African-Americans in the Major Leagues.
Hunter's original comments were made two weeks ago in one of a series of USA Today roundtables about baseball and published in Wednesday's editions.
According to a story published in USA Today's Thursday edition, he meant no harm or disrespect to Latin American players. ...
The 2010 Laureus World Sports Awards are cashed, but there was far too much information consumed over the last few days to have gotten it all down before the climactic ceremonies.
Consequently, there will be several more stories trickling out of my laptop regarding the subject.
Since I've got 12 hours to kill in the Abu Dhabi International Airport before the one flight a day to Frankfurt departs (conveniently timed for 1:50 in the morning) and it's kind enough to offer free, lightning-quick Internet, I figured now's as good a time as any to relate one of the highlights of the trip.
On ...
Another gridiron hero fallen from grace, plastered on evening "news" shows and fodder for prime time sports engines. Is he really a hero? Is he something that should garner national news attention?
Why are people so interested in someone they most likely don't know or have the remote chance of meeting? Why must our nightly sports talk shows and nightly highlight reel cinemas be invaded by news of some college town where some QB was accused of something? In short, why do you care?
Isn't this a personal matter for the people involved? I know, naive of me to think that ...
