NOTES ON A SCORECARD

I know Elin Nordegran is super hot and out of the reach of most men, but for the life of me I can’t understand why Tiger Woods married her. Unlike the rest of us schlubs, Tiger is independantly wealthy, young and world famous: Which means he can have his pick of the Elin’s of the world….

But for some reason, he decided to get married, even though he had no intention of giving up his philandering lifestyle….

I hope she was worth it, because now El Tigre is going to fork over hundreds of millions. Had he stayed single, he’d be $350 richer and not the object of scorn and ridicule….

Hopefully a lesson to all the rich, young athletes out there….

Just a year or so ago, Manny Ramirez put together one of the best second halves of a season I’d ever seen and was the toast of L.A. Everywhere you went, people were talking about “Mannywood” and he nearly got an average Dodger team into the World Series….

But after testing positive for steroids last season, he’s never been the same and virtually disappeared. It’s gotten so bad, if fact, that the rumor mill has him getting placed on waivers in a day or two….

Unfortunately, the last two seasons have exposed Manny as a product of PED’s and there’s no way he’ll get into the Hall of Fame….

Another guy feeling the effects of steroid withdrawl is Alex Rodriguez, who has been plagued by injuries and in-and-out of the line-up since admitting to using steroids….

It looks like his body is starting to break down without the help of PED’s….

I’m not much of an MMA fan, but I’ll be watching this weekend when James Toney makes his debut against Randy Couture….

On paper, you have to go with Couture, who has years of experience in this fighting style. And once he gets James on the ground, it’s all over….

Conversely, if the two boxed, Toney would end the fight in about 10 seconds….

But if any boxer can cross over and become an MMA star, it’s “Lights Out.”….

He’s one of the all-time tough guys, a master technician and unparalleled when it comes ot fighting on the inside….

Obviously, if James hits Randy on the chin the fight is over; but most likely Couture will manage to get his hands on James, take him to the floor and win….

Hopefully James is in good shape and worked hard on his grappling skills….

I’ll be pulling for James, because he’s been great to me over the years during out countless radio interviews. Yes, he’s a trash talking, mean, tough guy in the ring; but outside he’s as nice and genuine a person as I’ve ever met….

Prediction: Couture by submission in the first round….

Here’s to hoping I’m wrong….
