During CNN's late-night wall-to-wall coverage of this accident, John Berman and Bob Costas were trading gushing praise when Berman said Tiger's philandering scandal helped his standing with fans because it made him human.
Did it, though?
It wasn't relatable when a dozen women accused him of hooking up with them. The details of the affairs were cringe-inducing. I think the cavalcade of embarrassment estranged him from fans and only in recent years did his image recover from that.

Jerry Jones isn't a front-office nightmare any more. But he's not particularly good either. He's had the Cowboys slightly above mediocrity for years, and every three years they're a preseason Super Bowl favorite. Which is something I guess.

Ruby appears to be a good dog. We got a kitten named Cryptid a month ago who comes running whenever I crack open a can of Jai Alai IPA.

I heard about the charity after Pegula upset Victoria Azarenka in the first round of the Australian Open last night. A Lending Paw trains dogs to be "guide animals, diabetic alert animals, allergen detection animals, mobility animals, autism service animals, PTSD service animals, medical alert animals, psychiatric service animals, seizure response animals," per the website.
Pegula's ranked 61 and Azarenka 13. Azarenka had to quarantine in her hotel and couldn't go outside to practice, which was a sub-optimal way to get ready for the first major.
Thanks for the donation, Truthhurts!

The Elk has to be near the top of that list. There are no pro teams with that mascot, according to MascotDB.

Mahomes spent as much time looking at the wrong end zone as the right one.

When the Bucs picked up Brady it felt like a flyer, not a legitimate attempt to create a champion. Shows what I know. Has there ever been a Super Bowl defense that had more hurries and sacks on a QB? Patrick Mahomes looked like Chad Henne.

What was Honey Badger even saying to Brady? That's a bad look.

I had a hunch the Bucs would throw to a lineman in the end zone. It's a Chiefs trick play called catch and release. Almost worked, too.

He writes this while holding himself accountable for nothing, including his tweet calling a T-shirt advocating the lynching of journalists "awesome"; his tweet endorsing the violent insurrection at the Capitol; his tweet comparing Muslims to Nazis; his Facebook posts attacking transgender people; and his dodgy deal costing Rhode Island taxpayers at least $28.2 million loaned to his failed videogame company, which the state said was obtained through false financial projections and misleading statements.

That Fournette 20-yard touchdown was what the Jags expected to get picking him fourth overall. His playoff performance has been much better than I expected. He's been inferior to Ronald Jones throughout the regular season and seemed completely blind to holes opened up for him.

Tom Brady had built a nice narrative for blowing that game with the three late picks. It seems a little weird to be celebrating him now.

John Ourand of Sports Business Daily predicted this a month ago: "Late in the year " think November or December " NBC will shut down its sports channel and move NHL and EPL programming to USA Network and Peacock. The move is part of a strategy to grow NBC's streaming service, while keeping its big entertainment channel relevant in a cord-cutting world. The move creates a glut of smaller programming " like car shows and dog shows " in the media marketplace."
In the article he also predicted NBC would reach a new six-year deal to keep the EPL, putting more matches on NBC and running others on USA Network and Peacock.
