Thankfully, the folk hero of golf is back with some better news for us. Let&#8217;s get caught up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL News: Garcon awaits his family\u2019s status in Haiti<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Amidst all the wacky sports stories of the week is a tragic one. Colts receiver Pierre Garcon has \u201ctoo many relatives to count\u201d living in Haiti, site of the horrific earthquake this week, and hasn\u2019t learned of their status yet. He still plans to play this week but will travel to Haiti when the season ends.<\/p>\n<p>As we hope Garcon doesn\u2019t have to say goodbye to any loved ones, Junior Seau just said goodbye to pro football&#8230;for the fourth time. After all the heat Brett Favre gets for flip-flopping, you\u2019d think more people would pounce all over Seau. Maybe he\u2019s just having too much fun on\u00a0<em>Sports Jobs<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of jobs, Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 GM Scott Pioli just filled one, hiring Romeo Crennel as the team\u2019s new defensive co-ordinator. He joins starting quarterback Matt Cassel and offensive co-ordinator Charlie Weis. That gives the Chiefs the GM, both co-odrinators and backup quarterback from the Patriots dynasty. I have to wonder \u2013is Bill Belichick on the way too?<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" title=\"Jan 14th 2010: Daily Sports News \u2013 Gossip \u2013 Headlines\" src=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_629\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Online Sports Betting at Sportsbook\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>NBA News: Blake Griffin\u2019s season over before it starts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Poor, poor Clippers. Even when they get the first overall pick, something has to go wrong. Blake Griffin did his best Greg Oden impression and fractured his knee cap in his final preseason game back in October. He was expected to make his regular-season debut this month but a recent examination of the knee showed it wasn\u2019t properly healing. The Clippers thus announced yesterday that Griffin would have season-ending surgery.<\/p>\n<p>We can understand Oden going down \u2013 the face of a 42-year-old man must have the knees of a 42-year-old man \u2013 but no one saw Griffin\u2019s heartbreak coming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PGA News: John Daly\u2019s latest comeback begins at Sony Open this week<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At 43, John Daly isn\u2019t&#8230;quite&#8230;done&#8230;yet. He\u2019s trying for yet another comeback. The last few years have been kind to gossip blogs but not kind to Daly; in 2008, he used Jon Gruden as his caddie at a Pro-Am and smashed a tee shot off a beer can before he was discovered sloshed outside a Hooters that night (sounds like a good time to me). The PGA suspended him for six months last year.<\/p>\n<p>So can we expect something different this time around? Well, he has lost a bunch of weight, and he doesn\u2019t have to contend with Tiger in the field. So anything\u2019s possible. And you know fans and TV networks alike are pulling for him.<\/p>\n<h3>SPORTSBOOK.COM PROMOS \u2013 JOIN and GET up to $100 FREE \u2013 10% New Member Bonus on your first deposit. $20 Mobile Free Play \u2013 Stay on the go and in the dough with Sportsbook.com Mobile.
