    Did you see the footage of Tiger improvising during the commercial shoot and tackling the guy who is stealing his golf bag? Very funny. Unfortunately, the guy's head got banged up a little bit when Tiger took him down.

    Um, today's Washington Post, hardly a hockey hot bed or supporter, has the all-star game front a center today. The Tiger story, um, can't seem to find it in my edition at all. Guess Golf is withering on a vine

    I can't help but notice a string of NHL-hating coming from you Wolfrum. I admit the game has held higher status among the sports world in the past, but if you're going to base its demise on where it stands on SportsCenter and ESPN, let's also remember Terrell Owens leads the show whenever he sneezes. The anchors are getting visibly irritated by the producer's insistence on him being a story these days. They're fed up. They scour the media looking for any sound bite from him so it can lead NFL Live. It's become unbearable. When ESPN gets the NHL back in a year or two, we'll see plenty more of Melrose and hockey highlights, much to your dismay.

    For the time being, does anyone wanna see me make a sweet save from my college hockey days as a goalie at IU????

    Talk about malice; what a horrible blog entry, filled with prejudice venom, and all because "hockey players are stinky"? For an apparently old man, you need to grow up. Oh, and the jab at Eastern Europeans? Talk about bigotry.

    By the way? You may have wanted to wait to catch the morning recording of Sportscenter before trumpeting Tiger coverage over the All-Star Game. Guess what's at about the 12 minute mark of SC, nearly 20 minutes before Tiger coverage? You guessed it; Barry Melrose, his mullet, and the sport you seem to hate.

    I must confess that I'm not much of a hockey fan, but I attribute that to the fact that I'm quite ignorant concerning the sport. I do understand golf and enjoying watching it on TV. Having said that I don't quite understand the purpose of your blog and especially that remark about Joy Behar's colon.

    If you are going to denegrate a sport and it's fans, why even mention Tiger
    Woods. I'm almost sure you don't speak for him.

    Unfortunately, most of your comments on the unimportance of hockey in the sports world are justified in some ways. This decline started when Canadians (read Toronto) decided to give control of the game to an ex-assistant-commissioner of ...basketball who still does not know on what side of the stick he should stand and had always thought ice came from cocktail glasses.


    As for Eastern Europeans, I guess it is as interesting as watchcing Chinese basketball superstars or Japanese superstar baseball players or Corean LPGA players or....

    As for the NHL All-Star game... you are so right.

    The NHL All Star Game was telecast on the versus network(formerly the outdoor life network) and was viewed by 497,000 homes. To put this into perspective; it lost to cake baking on the home and garden channel, by a lot. Whoever came up with the idea to play the game on a Wednesday night, just rendered this already dying sport completely irrelevant.

    Face it mullett heads nobody watches or cares about hockey.

    Tiger should keep his mouth SHUT. It's not like any golfer ever broke a sweat from heavy athletic exercise... Is it a war between Nike and Raebok? He must dislike hockey because there are few black participants. Is it in his mind that it is racially segregated sport? Well, if he is against the only sport in which blacks DON'T dominate, maybe he shouldn't have married a white model? Don't get me wrong, I'm not against anyone marrying anyone, but why diss the ONLY white-dominated sport? At least hockey is full of action, and athleticism, compared to golf and even baseball (which I also like). As a matter of fact, until rich basketball players retired and found each other (gambling) at golf courses. Few blacks ever even got into golf before! IF ANYTHING, Tiger should be helping blacks break into HOCKEY than diss the sport and appear like a racist...
