Tiger Wins In An Un-Tigerly Fashion
The man wins even when he isn't trying to win. Tiger was shaky down the stretch (!), holding a three-stroke lead with six holes to play, and ending up in a playoff with Stewart Cink. Four holes later, Tiger Woods was the WGC-Bridgestone champion....
Sometimes, Newer Really Is Better
I guess if we can ask that Wiffle Ball be put on television, that we have to go along with the Vintage Base Ball Federation. Jim Bouton, former major league pitcher and author of Ball Four, is starting up a league that simulates the way baseball was played in the 1800s, from the uniforms to the equi...
The Lastings Milledge Ho-Down
We've had several people ask us this morning: Hey, how about those Cardinals? Actually, a few variations on the them, a 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould type of thing....

What Tiger Will Be Up To In Five Years
We don't get into Tiger Woods much around — except to make fun of his facial expressions — mainly because Tiger Woods is, by both design and nature, an intensely boring, robotic character. He wins, and he wins again, and he breaks into a recognizable human emotion every couple of years. This is not ...

You'll never be abe to put a normal brain into Terrell Ow...
PTI's Devilish Podcast
Ever wonder what "Pardon The Interruption" would sound like if it were hosted by Satan? (Please leave your Dan LeBatard jokes at the door ... if at all possible, anyway.)...
Drew Henson, Man Of Many Ugly Hats
Has there ever been an athlete more consistently overconsidered, for such an extended period of time, as Drew Henson? The guy has been all potential, zero performance; he's Ryan Leaf, except he did it in two sports ... and he wasn't very good in college either....
NFL Season Preview: Cincinnati Bengals
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting ...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. Baseball with Joe Morgan: Would you come speak at my Fire Joe Morgan seminar? • 2:30 p.m. Former Eagle Vince Papale: I would have logged on sooner, but your wife cut me off in traffic and I ended up in a ditch. • 4 p.m. NFL wit...

Not To Pile On The Red Sox Here, But ...
We know that often American celebrities will do advertisements in other countries — or their home countries — that they might not necessarily want to be seen doing here. But that doesn't change the bewilderment of seeing David Ortiz ... doing a boner commercial? Really? Can anybody translate?...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon: College FB w/ Mark Schlabach: Apparently Notre Dame isn't expecting a very good season. They've changed the "Touchdown Jesus" statue. • 1 p.m. Boxer Sergio Mora: Wouldn't people be more enthusiastic about your sport if occasional...
Tiger Woods Is Ready To PARTY
We congratulate Tiger Woods on his 12th career major yesterday, an easy victory at the PGA Championship. We are reminded through these pictures, once again, that nobody celebrates quite like Tiger Woods....
Everyone Else Is Really Just Wasting Their Time
I really don't know what to tell you here. It's Tiger Woods, it's Sunday, it's a major tournament, and it's over after the front 9. In fact, it was probably over before he teed off. The man has just been incredible....
Luke Donald's Going To Need A Huge Pair Of Balls
I'm going to try to not make this post entirely about Tiger Woods, as tomorrow's golf post will probably be entirely about Tiger Woods. But yeah, Tiger Woods is tied with Luke Donald for the lead of the PGA Championship after 54 holes. Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods....
NFL Season Preview: Tennessee Titans
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting ...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon Football with Todd McShay: Who better to talk scouting than a reporter who looks 17? • 1 p.m. Baseball with Jayson Stark: What if we started the playoffs three weeks early?
