Quick Shots: Will Tiger's Boat Sink?

Elin Woods has purchased a home in Sweden which, according to reports is only reachable by boat. I'm just thinking one of those scenes n James Bond where somebody in a powerboat blows up. Or drowns. There's a lot of possibilities here that could be ruled "accidental."
Tigers antics will not only cause his sleeping on the couch for an indefinite period, he will also lose somewhere in the neighborhood of $180 million. Don't worry. He won't be living under a bridge or getting payment calls from his mortgage bank anytime soon.
It's the Bears vs. the Packers in a game which has little meaning to the Bears except for pride. Let's hope Olin Kruetz has enough pride to serve B.J. Raji a fifty-five gallon industrial sized drum of STFU. There are actually some who think the Packers could win the Super Bowl. And these are not 400 pound guys covered in cheese curds from Eau Claire named Alfie.
Let's hope Kenny Williams learned his lesson. This guy is poison at any price.
Attention Doug Melvin: This guy could really help the Brewers.
Disgraced NBA ref Tim Donaghy says the NBA may be officiated on a tilted floor. And yet, no one is surprised by this. And people are even less than surprised that this knowledge goes all the way to the commissioners office. Another reason to watch hockey.
The guy who is inside the Patriots mascot costume was recently nabbed in a prostitution sting. No word if he liked it with the head on.
Here is a case where the ADs and coaches in a league are smarter than the people running it. Wisconsin AD Barry Alvarez is calling for the Big Ten to add a twelfth team, to raise the profile of the league and allow the league to have a league championship game like the SEC and Big 12. That requires a minimum of twelve teams. The league commissioner wants nothing to do with it and continues to reject it. Besides, who would the Big Ten get for a twelfth team? They covet Notre Dame, but the Irish aren't going to join a conference in football for a while. Besides, their other teams compete in the Big East. Personally, I'd like to see the Big Ten add a Big East school like Cincinnati or Pitt.
Mark Ingram wins the Heisman trophy in the closest voting ever. For those of you who think this is a travesty, these are the same people that bought the Charles Woodson hype the year he beat Peyton Manning. While Ingram had an impressive year, the best player this year was Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska.
One of the greatest players in the history of Nebraska becomes head coach at Kansas.
These jokers can't even agree on health care, funding for Iraq or immigration and yet they want to come up with a national playoff system. Joe Barton from Texas has noting to bitch about except when Alabama drop kicks the Longhorns on January 7. Notice too, the other congressmen who are demanding an investigation are from big football states. These bums should all voted out of office for wasting our tax dollars on something they have no business getting involved in.
Here's a list of the best and worst baseball announcers. Just another person, not a White Sox fan, who misunderstands Hawk.
Three words: Tragic clipboard accident.
