New York Needs To Be The Mecca of Tennis Again
NEW YORK – There’s always one problem with the US Open, every single year. After it’s over, you have to wait 50 more weeks to see some live tennis in New York City. Of course, a true fan of the sport can travel across the country – or even the world – to see the best play, but nothing compares to, as it’s called, the rock-and-roll atmosphere of the big city. That’s why it’s refreshing to see an event line the 2010 BNP Paribas Showdown for the Billie Jean King Cup which took place on last Monday at Madison Square Garden. With Kim ...

Isles Trade Andy Sutton
UNIONDALE, NY—Just five points separated the Islanders from the Eastern Conference’s eighth spot heading into Wednesday. Islanders general manager Garth Snow said he considers his team still in the playoff race. But the GM still chose to build for the long-term rather, trading 6-6 defenseman Andy Sutton to the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday in exchange for a 2010 second round pick that originally belonged to San Jose. The draft choice, expected to be in the 55-60 overall range, will help come June. In the meantime, the Senators obtained Sutton, who entered last night ranked second in the NHL with 153 blocked shots ...
“Tales Of The Philandering Woods”
An SUV crashes during the wee morning hours, It struck a lone hydrant--near some shrubs and some flowers. The most famous of "Tigers" had been found at the scene, Windows were smashed--and it was FAR from serene. The rumors would fly--as to why he fled home, It became a news story from Orlando to Rome. There were rumblings 'round town that this Tiger was cheating, And his wife grew perturbed during a face-to-face meeting. The stories were sketchy--was he hurt or just dazed? A few days would pass--many questions were raised. Some say that Elin had chased after her spouse, When convinced that ...
