Oh no... But now, not only is Tiger in contention...

Did someone just discreetly kick Tiger's wide tee shot on 10 back toward the fairway?

Can't find a Twitter video on it yet, but it appears as if Tiger's wide-right shot on #10 on his Sunday round was kicked back toward the fairway as it reached a man with white shoes in the gallery!

And no one's gonna do a damn thing about it!

Fortunately, it doesn't appear to have had too much effect.  He still had no shot at the green and had to punch out.

3rd went just long on the green, didn't hit the putt hard enough.  Molinari now up 2 with 8 to play.

The NHL has one problem already, and it's about to have a far bigger one.

Tampa Bay is about to lose NHL leading scorer Nikita Kucherov to a long (at least for playoff terms) suspension.

They are also about to be eliminated by the eighth-seeded Columbus Blue Jackets.

At 5-1 down in Game Two, Kucherov did this to Columbus' Martis Nutivaara.

Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov will have a hearing tomorrow for Boarding Columbus’ Markus Nutivaara.

Kucherov was already going to the box for tripping Nutivaara, and then deliberately boarded him on top of it for a game misconduct.

I'd actually have gone Match Penalty: Intent to Injure here.  I'm also trying to see if this is an in-person hearing, which would imply a significant suspension.

Given all the factors, including the state of the series, I'd think this a massive suspension if they could get away with it.

But the NHL has a bigger problem.

You see, the Tampa Bay Lightning were one of the most dominant teams in NHL regular season history this season.

They won the President's Trophy for the most points in the regular season with 128 points and 62 wins.  They had the best record in the league by a full 19 points -- 9 1/2 wins.

And they're probably getting their asses swept.

The NHL is going to run into the same two problems the NBA has -- tanking and "Who cares?" attendance...  And since the NHL is not as ingrained television-contract wise as the NBA, one has to wonder, going forward, what that's going to mean for the league.

Golf fans are losing today, because Corporate Tin God is winning...

This is a recent Reddit reply on the first-round thread on the golf subreddit:

"... Yes? It is exactly like Michael Jordan. In fact, Tiger's dominance is even more recent and more dominant than Jordan's was. Do you seriously not understand that?"

As of this moment, we are 23 minutes into the ESPN coverage of the first round of the Masters.

Tiger Woods is tied for the lead at -3 with four holes to play today -- and the jordon-jocking, Tiger-jocking corporate nature of sports fandom is CREAMING over this.

Worse yet?  So is Augusta National.

Myself and a golf fan friend of mine try to watch this weekend on the official Masters website, Masters.com.

Augusta National appears to have fully thrown weight behind Tiger this year.  At least three different occasions now, those of us who go to other streams to avoid Tiger now cannot do so -- in fact, the most egregious (and the one which has probably ended our enjoyment of the entire day today!) was when the Amen Corner stream literally transfixed on one of the scoreboard to watch Tiger's name be put on top of it.

Oh Christ...

Another UFC Druggie Bites The Dust

They had a unique match about 2 1/2 months ago -- the UFC bantamweight champion dropped weight to try to also take the UFC flyweight title.

The latter, Henry Cejudo, knocked out the former, Trent Dillashaw, inside of a minute.

It's the last fight Dillashaw will have for two years.  Banned the maximum penalty of two years for injectable EPO today by USADA.

Yet ANOTHER failed drug test in a major event for the UFC.

I Believe We Almost Had A Legendary Professional Wrestler Murdered Last Night At His Greatest Honor

If you've had any exposure to sports since about 6 PM Pacific Saturday night (the 6th), you almost certainly already know elements of the story.

Bret "The Hitman" Hart was being inducted, for the second time, into the WWE Hall of Fame -- this time, for his involvement in the famous 1980's tag team "The Hart Foundation".  Also inducted tonight, his partner, the late Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart.

He was attacked and shoved to the ground (as was Neidhart's daughter Natalya, representing his partner) by a failed mixed martial artist tonight -- during the acceptance of the Hall of Fame position.  I'm not going to dignify his name nor give the mug shot or videos.

A lot of people, mostly rightly, ask how someone could be so stupid, with that many people who can legit defend themselves (one gave a justified cheapshot to the idiot, knocking him out)...

That's why, given my experiences, I think I can say that the quick action in the ring of WWE talent probably prevented the murder of Bret Hart tonight.

Why?  Because there's very little else I can think of that a person would want to do, especially with some degree of training, to a 61 year-old stroke survivor in broad daylight and in public, which would not represent the desire to kill the man.

An early background look sees this person as probably unemployable and all of such.  But the fact of the matter is (and I can say this as a qualified opinion) that's the most dangerous type of person.  If they do not investigate for an eventual attempted murder charge on this fucker, they aren't doing their job.

One count trespass, two counts assault, I think there's another count there someplace.

I'll start the bidding at the time I spent in Riker's, etc.  Let's see if, because this fucker claims to be a big bad MMA badass, if he gets less than 1 in jail and 3 probation...

Suspension Blotter: More drug problems for Vikings' Hill

• Minnesota Vikings:  Holton Hill, 4 games, PEDs

He'd also had problems with marijuana, failing a drug test at the combine last year before his rookie year.

And now, it appears the AAF doesn't even survive the one season...

What, did the cheap shot on Johnny Football finally do the league in?

Word coming out now says the AAF is folding IMMEDIATELY.
