Enjoy!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll assume you watched Duke break Butler\u2019s heart, so let\u2019s skip to the other big news of the day \u2013 starting with the Tiger craze and continuing with some stunning debuts in Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n
PGA News: Tiger speaks candidly at press conference<\/strong><\/p>\n To kick off the circus of Masters week, Tiger Woods finally held a press conference yesterday to address everything from infidelity to performance-enhancing drugs. For the most part, he was open, explaining that he \u201clived a lie\u201d and vowing never to miss his son\u2019s birthday again. He refuted any rumors that he used PEDs or HGH and openly explained his connection to Canadian doctor Anthony Galea, who is under investigation for providing PEDs to athletes. Tiger also commented on how touched he was when the fans gave him polite applause at the tee during a practice round yesterday.<\/p>\n As for golf \u2013 Tiger\u2019s confidence hasn\u2019t wavered, at least on the outside. He smiled and said he\u2019ll \u201ctry to win this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n MLB news: Heyward, Halladay shine in debuts<\/strong><\/p>\n Jason Heyward, arguably the National League\u2019s most hyped hitting prospect since Albert Pujols, did nothing to calm the hype machine in his major-league debut with the Atlanta Braves yesterday. In fact, he ignited it. Heyward homered in his first at-bat, smashing a mammoth 400-plus-foot bomb off Carlos Zambrano, and finished the game with four RBI.<\/p>\n Also impressing in a debut: Roy Halladay, who looked dominant as ever in his first start with the Philadelphia Phillies. Doc got touched up for a run in the first inning but got mad after that, holding the Washington Nationals off the board and leaving the game with nine strikeouts in seven innings.<\/p>\n Not so impressive: President Barack Obama\u2019s opening pitch for the Nationals. After all the footage of him playing basketball, could he really be\u00a0this <\/em>bad at throwing a baseball? My grandmother could throw better than \u2013 wait. Too clich\u00e9. How about this: blindfolded Barbara Walters could throw better than Obama did yesterday. NBA news: Bucks lose Bogut for season; Malone, Pippen to Hall of Fame; No Coach K in Jersey<\/strong><\/p>\n The Milwaukee Bucks look pretty solid to make the playoffs this season but their chances of doing any damage took a huge blow this week when standout center Andrew Bogut\u00a0 was confirmed as out for the season with a dislocated elbow. Ouch. Bogut was emerging as a stud, particularly on defense, and probably should\u2019ve been an All-Star this season.<\/p>\n Along with veteran Boston Celtic Dennis Johnson, former NBA superstars Karl Malone and Scottie Pippen have gotten the call to the Hall of Fame. Malone, The Mailman, is a 14-time All-Star, two-time MVP and the second-leading scorer in league history. Pippen was a seven-time All-Star and key component of the Chicago Bulls\u2019 six NBA championships during the 1990s.<\/p>\n The Mike Krzyzewski-to-New-Jersey-Nets rumors are swirling but we shouldn\u2019t expect a big shocker this offseason, even after Coach K won an NCAA title with Duke yesterday. Reports indicate that (crazy) Russian billionaire and new Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov would offer Coach K $12 million to $15 million per season.<\/p>\n But we shouldn\u2019t get our hopes up. Krzyzewski said Monday that \u201cyou would be flattered if someone would offer you a job, but I would not be interested.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Tuesday April 6th, 2010.
