Fourth-Place Finish For Tiger After Sunday Push

Fourth-Place Finish For Tiger After Sunday Push

Sunday Tiger Woods made a valiant Sunday run to win his fifth green jacket, but came up short in the 75th Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.

Starting the final round tied for ninth, seven strokes behind pacesetter Rory McIlroy, the 35-year-old Woods electrified the patrons by posting a 5-under-par 31 on the front nine to earn a share of the lead.

Ultimately, two short missed putts ruined his comeback. Woods returned in even-par 36 and settled for a 5-under 67 to finish at 10-under 278 and tied for fourth for the second straight year. Woods was four strokes behind winner Charl Schwartzel of South Africa, who birdied the last four holes and shot 66. It marked the sixth consecutive year Woods has finished sixth or better at Augusta.

“I got off to a good start,” Woods said. “I should have shot 3- or 4-under on the back nine and I only posted even.”

Tiger took home $330,667.

Moss Could Wind Up  With Jets

Moss Could Wind Up With Jets

Randy Moss in a Jets uniform? It could happen. Only one team, the Titans, put in a claim for him when he was released by the Vikings.

Coach Rex Ryan could be interested. Ryan has enough cachet where he could keep Moss in line, and the Jets would probably enjoy tweaking the Patriots.

Ramirez Retires In Wake Of Drug-Related Issue

Ramirez Retires In Wake Of Drug-Related Issue

NEW YORK — Unwilling to face another drug ban, Manny Ramirez is leaving baseball and is at peace with his decision while the sport confronts the specter of steroids again.

One of the game’s great sluggers, Ramirez tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance and wasted little time in saying he was done with the game.

He retired Friday rather than face a 100-game suspension for a second violation of Major League Baseball’s drug policy. The 12-time All-Star served a 50-game ban in 2009 while with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Second-time offenders get double that penalty.

A person familiar with the situation confirmed that Ramirez tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the nature of Ramirez’s issue with MLB’s drug policy was not publicly disclosed.

Rays vice president Andrew Friedman, who signed Ramirez to a $2 million, one-year contract in the offseason, said the club was “obviously surprised” when it learned what happened and was “hurt by what transpired.”

Ten-Year-Old Returns Super Bowl Ring To Perry At Autograph Show

Ten-Year-Old Returns Super Bowl Ring To Perry At Autograph Show

CHICAGO — Chicago Bears great William “The Refrigerator” Perry has his 1985 Super Bowl ring back on his finger thanks to a 10-year-old boy.

Cliff Forrest of Fox Chapel, Pa., took $8,500 out of his college savings account to buy Perry’s Super Bowl ring in New York.

“He only played in one Super Bowl,” Cliff said. “I thought he would want it more than I did.”

So the boy asked his dad if he could give the ring back to Perry, who has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome. The autoimmune disease attacks the nervous system and can cause paralysis.

But Cliff admires Perry and had heard of the famous Chicago Bears Super Bowl XX-winning team. Cliff’s parents agreed and set out to return the ring to Perry, taking a flight to Chicago and giving the former football player his ring before an autograph session.

In return, Perry gave the boy two autographed jerseys signed: “The Fridge, Thanks!”

Steve Nash’s  Ex-Wife Gives Birth To Black Baby?

Steve Nash’s Ex-Wife Gives Birth To Black Baby?

In December, Steve Nash filed for divorce from his wife just a day after she had a baby, and now we have found out the reason behind the divorce.

Rumors were speculating that Nash had left his wife because she gave birth to a black baby, leading to the obvious discovery of infidelity and cheating.

The allegations were confirmed when Aljejandra gave birth to a black baby, and now the farther is said to be Nash’s former teammate Jason Richardson.

The Suns abruptly traded Richardson to the Orlando Magic in December, around the same time the baby was born, which only ignites the rumors and speculations even more.

Apparently the “black baby” was just a rumor, and pictures have been released to dispel it.

Rays Fall To 1-8 With Loss To White Sox

CHICAGO — Joe Maddon said Sunday’s sixth-inning tantrum directed at the umpires had nothing to do with the Rays’ awful record and silent bats, that he would have been just as enraged if the Rays had won all but one of their games.

But B.J. Upton saw a little more fire than he expected from his manager’s reaction to a puzzling call, especially when Maddon pointed to all four umpires and ejected them from the game with the White Sox, which Tampa Bay eventually lost 6-1 at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Rays dropped to 1-8 after the White Sox reached Jeff Niemann for five runs (three earned) in the first three innings and the Rays’ offense produced its fifth four-hit, one-run game of the season.

NCAA Produces Unlikely Champions

The NCAA, the grand pooh-bah of college sports, just completed its version of March Madness and it produced two unlikely champions in men and women’s basketball.

In the women’s division, Texas A&M defeated Notre Dame for the title.

With teams like UConn, Baylor, Tennessee, Stanford and Duke, neither of the two teams that played in the championship game should have been in that position.

In the men’s division, UConn defeated Butler for the championship.

With teams like Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Kansas, Duke, Syracuse and North Carolina, both UConn and Butler never should have played for the championship.

What’s Wrong With Tiger’s Game?

What’s wrong with Tiger Woods’ golf game? That is the question that all of golf is asking and all of golf has no answer to.

Tiger thinks it is his swing and he is currently undergoing a swing change. I say there is nothing wrong with Tiger’s game or his swing.

Tiger’s problem is his eyes. Think about this with me. Tiger has always had trouble finding the fairway with his driver. He has always hit his ball into the woods. He’s always been able to knock the ball out of the woods and onto the greens.

Once on the green, Tiger could knock down a putt from anywhere on the green. Today, he can’t knock down putts almost at all. He misses a ton of putts inside of five feet. Short putts pass by the hole by 12 inches off line.

You know Tiger used to wear contacts. Then he had laser eye surgery. He had to have the surgery redone and he may need to either have the surgery done again or go back to the contacts.

Rays Off To A Bad Start

The season has just started for the Tampa Bay Rays and the team got off to a horrible start.

They have lost their first four games. The pitching hasn’t been good and the hitting has been almost non-existent.

The Rays won their Division Championship last year, but lost a lot of key contributing players. So far, their replacements haven’t even been fair.
