Tiger Woods returning to the Tour? That's what Australia's Herald Sun is reporting anyway. "Tiger Woods is poised to make a shock return to competitive golf in a fortnight at the Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona." They still say fortnight in Australia? What's up with that, mate? Kangaroo... I can't wait for Tiger to be back in action because it will give us a whole new opportunity to talk about how he cheated on his wife and had sex with like a million girls. (

Couldn’t help but notice an ad for Phil Mickelson’s “Secrets Revealed” DVD was portentously placed right next to a Mickelson “cheating accusations” headline. It’s just not getting any easier for the cunning lefty and his sublime breasts.

We don’t follow Kim Kardashian on twitter, but 14 of her 2.8 million readers sent this to us today. It was overwhelmingly well received. Other tidbits floating about the web:
* Bob Knight at Rutgers? Ha. No.

The Tiger Woods thing is the biggest story to happen to golf ever, perhaps the only golf story that has compelled a mainstream audience. Yet, major networks have uniformly ignored it during golf coverage. “As the scandal over Tiger Woods’ alleged multiple affairs keeps expanding, NBC’s experience that afternoon underscores the tricky lie in which the networks that broadcast golf now find themselves. No single athlete has the power to propel, or derail, his sport more than Woods. He’s the meal ticket, the key to big ratings, and it’s in each network’s interest to stay in Woods’ good graces — whatever that means” Principle? Or future dollars?
