I guess we’re doing some Tiger Woods coverage with the Masters going on, so here is an ad that EA Sports put together for Tiger Woods 09.

Nothing like a little sacrilege to sell some video games.  Still, pretty sweet.  Tiger is -2 and five shots off the lead going into today.

Apparently a female UNC basketball star named Rashanda McCants is entering the WNBA draft.  Does that name sound somewhat familiar?  Maybe like some other UNC star that came out in recent years?  I guess the question I’m getting at is: Are these two people the same person?

According to one NQTC reader, they may be.  Here [...]

When the White Sox welcome in the Minnesota Twins this weekend for a three game set at the Cell, an old familiar face will be with them. That face belongs to Joe Crede who will go from friend to foe for the first time in his baseball career to fans of the pale hose. [...]

Deng will be out for the rest of the year unless the Bulls make a lengthy playoff run.  So yeah, see ya next year Luol. [Sun-Times]
Your ‘ceps is on fire!  Sorry, had to.  Soto will miss at least two more games with inflammation in the biceps area.  Hopefully we’ll see him in the home opener.  [...]

Am I jumping the gun?  Yes.  Do I care?  Nope.

4 for 5 with a home run and 4 runs scored is all it took for me.  I’m bringing my Kosuke jersey tee out of the closet.

Dusty Baker is famous for his savvy managing style and deep understanding of the game of baseball.  Okay, I had a lot of trouble writing that sentence without laughing/crying.  Dusty is actually more famous for his horrible, horrible misuse of pitchers.  After running the Cubs rotation into the ground during his time in Chicago, he [...]

The greatest golf tournament of the year starts today and while I’m sure a lot of you don’t care one bit, I thought I better post a quick video of what will likely be the most memorable golf shot I have ever seen.  Take it away Tiger.

Tiger tees of at 1:52 ET today in the [...]

The Blackhawks squandered a lead and wasted a good first period last night and fell to the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3 at the United Center.  The Hawks still get one point for the loss, putting them at 100 for the season; four ahead of Calgary and Vancouver in the quest for home ice in the [...]

Geovany Soto will get his shoulder examined in Chicago on the Cubs day off today.  Last year’s ROY missed the game last night.  [Tribune]
The San Francisco Giants have kicked off quite the ad campaign.  Haha, balls. [Deadspin]
The White Sox only managed three hits last night as they got shut out by the Royals.  Zack Greinke [...]

One thing we know about Canada is they love to drink up there.  Well for a little while they won’t be enjoying any Molson Canadians at Blue Jay games, due to some crazy fan antics at various events. 
First Drew Carey, owner of the MLS team in Seattle, got a beer dumped on him as his team [...]

Aaron Gray has been relegated to the bench since the big deadline trade, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t providing entertainment for his teammates.  Noah seems to think this is the funniest thing he’s ever seen, but he’s probably stoned so who knows.

Take that Al Harrington!

Baseball is a game of statistics.  As discussed in an earlier post, I subscribe to the theory that the game of baseball can be broken down by a statistical analysis in order to determine a player’s value more than any other sport.  Well why not take that analysis a step further and apply it to [...]

The Bengals continue to make their impression on NFL fans everywhere.  They just have an amazing ability to keep on letting us know they have a commitment to crime.  Around this time last year the team released criminal mastermind Chris Henry, only to re-sign the wide receiver a few months later; they also went on [...]

The Blackhawks fell behind 1-0 in the first period last night in Nashville, but it didn’t take them long into the second period to turn the game around.  Just 12 seconds into the period, Jonathan Toews scored on a break to tie it up, and Dustin Byfuglien gave the Hawks the lead with a goal [...]

Theriot got his first TOOTBLAN of the year last night.  Oh and Ramirez threw one in for good measure. [Wrigleyville23]
The Bulls won a big one down the stretch.  Back to 7th with 4 games to play. [Bulls Blog]
Cubbies blew it in the 10th.  The bullpen has looked really good though. (UPDATE: I’m not sure if [...]
