Tiger is um, not back. 44 on the front nine. It's starting to get sad. I had a local golf pro tell me three or four years ago that he didn't think Tiger would win another major. I argued he was still young, many golfers play their best in their late 30s, and Tiger would get at least two or three mo...

The Lions should try to talk Eddie Murray out of retirement to kick for them at this point. This really isn't a crazy idea.
