Masters was Tiger Woods' destiny

Tiger Woods has spoken. He has chosen Augusta National as the site for his return. The Masters. How bold and daring. How Tiger-like.

Don't call it 'Root 66'

The Blackhawk Standbys fan club does not discriminate. Whether you've been a Hawks fan for a few days or a few decades, you're welcome to join. Having survived the most dismal years of the Hawks organization, the Standbys simply want to grow and prosper.

Better goalies not the only goal
Carol Slezak: Oh, to be young and gifted like the Blackhawks. This team truly believes it can outscore anyone. And more often than not, it does. For most of the season, the Hawks seemed to be on cruise control. Maybe winning was coming too easy for them. Hey, look at us, we can turn it on whenever we want!

Was 8 enough? Flames coach feels the heat

Jimmy Collins has heard the whispers. Maybe it's time to step down. In lieu of that, maybe it's time for UIC to push him out the door.

Wood not the answer for problematic pitching staff
Carol Slezak: Even before Angel Guzman went down, the Cubs were looking for veteran bullpen help. So it's not surprising that Kerry Wood's name would come up in discussion.

Former Hawks great Esposito defends Huet, Niemi
Carol Slezak: As the NHL trade deadline passed Wednesday, legendary Blackhawks goalie Tony Esposito responded with a shrug. He never expected the Hawks to trade for a goalie. Why would they? In his opinion, Cristobal Huet and Antti Niemi are more than good enough to get the job done. The problem isn't the goalies, but the critics.

Bowman enters the spin cycle

This was Stan Bowman's first trade deadline as the Blackhawks' general manager. This was his opportunity to make a bold statement. But he came up empty. And after the deadline had passed with a whimper, it was time to rationalize.

ONE GOALIE IN MIND

So is this it? Antti Niemi or bust? The long Olympic break did little to squelch the debate swirling around the Blackhawks' goalie situation. We know that Niemi will be in goal when the team returns to the ice tonight against the New York Islanders. But has the job become his to lose, or is help on the way?

Prospectus shows little love for Cubs, Sox

Spring training is under way, and you know what that means: It's time for baseball fans to exercise their inalienable, unfettered right to hope. Last season no longer matters. Everyone is starting over. This could be the year your team goes all the way.

Burish hates the wait

When Adam Burish says the last five months have been tough, he's not talking about the rehabbing. He's talking about the sitting and the watching and the waiting.

Bo will run reverse, but you have to ask

Bo Jackson is a businessman now, more focused on board meetings than sports. The greatest two-sport star of his generation says he doesn't even follow baseball anymore. And he watched the Super Bowl only because his wife insisted. This is one former athlete who had no trouble moving on when his playing days were over.
