He is tied for 72nd place at 6 over par, 13 shots behind Retief Goosen. You have to look a long time on the leaderboard to find Woods.
Phil Mickelson is shot one shot back of Goosen and has a great chan...

 It has been 24 hours since Lebron James not only broke Cleveland’s heart, but also ripped the soul right out of the fans that have supported him for more than his seven year NBA career.
Lebron made a selfish decision to be what he has always been, a frontrunner. Just take a look at the teams Lebron cheers for, the perennial playoff bound New York Yankees, who have a legitimate title shot every ...

 I'm a pretty big sports fan. I like football and I like basketball. I enjoy watching golf, and I can take in a good baseball game. I've played them all in an organized setting, not a high level mind you, but on a team. I consider myself a fairly typical American when it comes to sports.
Right now in South Africa is arguably the World's Biggest Sporting Event, the World Cup. In some circles it's ...

 Its constantly debated what movie actually brought about the current renaissance of comic book movies. Some will say it was Tim Burton's 1989 Batman. Others will go further back and give the credit to Richard Donner's 1978 Superman (which. at the very least, was the birth of the modern comic book movie). However, the early to mid 90's were pretty bleak for comics and so cred...

 I'm not sure if this constitutes sports news, but have you had the chance to see the new the 2012 London mascots? Can you say creepy? I had been thinking hard about where I've seen these "creatures" before. The mascots named Wenlock and Mandeville reminded me of something or someone but who?
Then it hit me. Those two mascots are Kang and Kodos the one-eyed green aliens of Simpson's fame.

 This week, both New York football teams combined their efforts. In a rare show of unity, the Giants and the Jets brought players and owners to the new stadium for a press conference to make a plea for a Super Bowl bid. It would be in 2014.

After all of the big hype and hoopla from the Olympic gold medal game, everyone was thinking that the NHL will be able to turn that into a ratings boost. But what people seem to forget is that the NHL has one of the worst television contracts of the major sports and is stuck on a TV network that is available only on the premium level on most carriers.
With that being said, there is ...

 Thought #1
Lebron James has filed the official paperwork that would allow him to change his jersey number from its current 23 to the number 6, which was his number during the Olympics. Lebron has decided to do this to honor Michael Jordan. So let me get this straight, because MJ is a hall of famer and linked to 23 you are going to swap his number out for 6, which is linked to not one, but two ar...

 The 2010 Vancouver Olympics were full of excitement, drama, and tragedy. Team USA had a terrific overall performance and came home with the most medals. 37 total medals as Team USA essentially won these games. That total is the most ever for Team USA in the Winter Olympics. Alpine Skiing was the big winner this year, bringing home a total of 8 medals.
There were some significant New York an...
