It seems like we haven\u2019t heard from Tiger forever, doesn\u2019t it? Don\u2019t worry \u2013 he\u2019s back and headlining today\u2019s news.<\/p>\n
PGA news: Tiger to return at World Match Play? <\/strong><\/p>\n Though it\u2019s hard to call the source overly trustworthy \u2013\u00a0The Herald Sun <\/em>in Melbourne, Australia? — the report is that Tiger Woods is leaving sex rehab and will return to competitive golf at the Accenture World Match Play Championship this February 17.<\/p>\n I\u2019m all for it. It\u2019s not like Tiger will delay the heckling hell he\u2019s bound to endure by sitting out a season; in fact, the longer he waits, the worse it could get when he does return. So why not bite the bullet and get it over with? Also, competing in match play, during which he can concede any time, is an ideal way for him to dip his toes in the (Piranha-infested) water.<\/p>\n NFL news: Another day, another gun bust<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest NFLer involved in a gun-related charge is Dallas Cowboys fullback Deon Anderson. He was arrested and charged yesterday based on an incident at a suburban Dallas restaurant the night before. Reportedly, Anderson had car troubles and blamed a valet. He then threatened the valet with a gun. Police found the loaded gun in shrubs near the restaurant. It was loaded and had a bullet in the chamber. Gulp.<\/p>\n MLB news: Tiger extend Justin Verlander<\/strong><\/p>\n Justin Verlander is staying with the Tigers for at least five years. His $80-millino contract extension will pay him an average of $16 million per season and, based on his breakout 2009 campaign, could be a bargain for the Tigers. Verlander went 19-9 last year, striking out 269 batters in 240 innings. He also holds some pretty damn cool records. He\u2019s the only pitcher in baseball history to throw a no-hitter, start a World Series game, win Rookie of the Year and be an All-Star in his first two full seasons. Impressive stuff. For any gossip hounds looking for something juicier \u2013 Grady Sizemore to the rescue. The Indians outfielder spoke publicly about his semi-nude photo scandal yesterday. He was unapologetic for the most part, claiming that the photos of him were intended for his girlfriend only and stolen from his e-mail account. Can\u2019t really blame the guy if that\u2019s the case. But hey, Grady!? When you\u2019re a celebrity you should probably avoid public records of you doing\u00a0anything<\/em>, my friend. Including breathing.<\/p>\n NBA news: Another Laker record falls<\/strong><\/p>\n Earlier this week, Kobe Bryant passed Jerry West for the Los Angeles Lakers\u2019 all-time scoring lead. Last night, Phil Jackson passed Pat Riley to become L.A.\u2019s winningest coach at 534. With 12 more wins, Jackson will have more victories with the Lakers than he had with the Bulls. Who\u2019d of thunk it?<\/p>\n In other news, Portland\u2019s Rudy Fernandez is\u00a0the man. <\/em>He\u2019s such a hit with the ladies that two of them decided to hit on him during a game last week. During a Blazers timeout in the final minute of Saturday\u2019s game at Dallas, two women calmly strolled onto the court \u2013 and into Portland\u2019s huddle. One woman wrapped her arms around Fernandez\u2019s waste and said \u201cRudy, I love you. Nice to meet you. Good game.\u201d<\/p>\n No fair. It\u2019s one thing for athletes to steal every lady from us before and after games. But\u00a0during? <\/em>Come on.<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Thursday February 4th, 2010.
