		<title>Tiger, Earl, and Me: Redemption</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(roll over photo to view hidden image)

		<description><![CDATA[NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the NFL has “not found a saturation point for pro football, which is a good thing. I don&#8217;t want to be around if we do.&#8221; Are you sure, Roger? Regarding the NFL expanding to 17 or 18 (we all know he’s looking at 18) regular season games, Goodell said, “The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Allen, Celtics Hold Off Calves Full-Blown Coming Out Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[                                                                   
 
After scoring just two points in the first half, Ray Allen was due, or at least desperate to shoot his Boston Celtics back into contention in their first-round series vs. the Chicago Bulls. Desperation alone isn’t enough to catapult a team to the fore, but when paired with talent and experience, sometimes it can [...]]]></description>

Rose’s Garden Playoff Baptism Stellar.
                                                  
Derrick Rose launched his playoff career today. 
 
I know you are waiting for “. . . with 36 points and 11 assists . . .”  And you can wait a little longer. That first sentence needs to sink in. The key word is “launched”. And to those who saw Rose’s performance in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Suns Dilemma? Not So Fast.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
                                                                                
On the day of the ill-advised Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks for Shaquille O’Neal trade in February of ’08, yours truly stated that the Suns were done. The sports world’s version of gravity would result in the window being slammed shut, and the ensuing off-season had to result in major changes. But if the [...]]]></description>

Tiger By O’Hair   For those who gave the remote a workout on Sunday, or who thanked God for picture-in-picture, or maybe just prefer the pure competition of golf over college basketball, Eldrick “Tiger” Woods didn’t disappoint. Whoever set the start times for the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational were no doubt wiping their [...]]]></description>

A Different Kind Of Madness    As I watched oodles of what many proclaim to be the greatest American sporting event of them all this past weekend, I couldn’t help but notice the significant decline in the quality of play in the NCAA Men’s tournament compared to where it was, dare I say, back in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lord of the League: Why Not Wade?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Although Dwyane Wade is not in the running to capture this season&#8217;s Lord of the League crown, he&#8217;s still a huge threat as spoiler.  After dropping 31 points, 16 assists and 7 rebounds on the Detroit Pistons en route to a 103-91 Heat victory, Cleveland would do well to avoid Miami in the post season.  With Jermaine O&#8217;Neal [...]]]></description>
