OT: Tiger Woods

You knew there was going to be much more to this...

Tiger has yet to be formally interviewed by the Florida Highway Patrol -- that should happen this afternoon. But we're told Tiger had a conversation Friday -- with a non-law enforcement type -- detailing what went down before his Escalade hit a fire hydrant.

We're told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We're told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV -- but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.

We're told Woods became "distracted," thought the vehicle was stopped, and looked to see what had happened. At that point the SUV hit the fire hydrant and then hit a tree.

We're also told Woods had said during the conversation Friday he had been taking prescription pain medication for an injury, which could explain why he seemed somewhat out of it at the scene.

Ben Sheets...

This is why I have been somewhat leery about signing Sheets...he is going to be a huge injury risk...

All of baseball, the Texas Rangers and the Milwaukee Brewers included, have treaded lightly around the subject of Ben Sheets’ pitching elbow.

Which is abundantly understandable. A club doesn’t want to spend $20 million over two years on a pitcher when the pitcher is destined to have Tommy John surgery and miss the next two seasons.

So, the Rangers wait. They want to see more medical information. They want to make sure that the guaranteed money, the draft pick they would have to surrender to sign the free agent, and the odds of Sheets staying healthy all add up.

I remember hearing about this from Joel Sherman on the Kellerman show, but it seems like his back could be a bigger issue going forward...

A cursory Internet search of Sheets’ medical history paints a picture of a player whose previous most debilitating injury wasn’t a frayed labrum or a failing rotator cuff, but a torn muscle in the upper part of his back.

I dunno, too many red flags to sign him?? Or, should we sign him anyway, see what happens...

This impressed me. Biden makes a joke about Chief Justice Roberts and Obama seems to be a bit peeved about it. So far, I'm impressed...
