So this is either the greatest media run-up to a fight in the history of boxing, or one (or both) of these guys really don’t want to tangle with each other. What happened to the good old days of Ali-Foreman, when you could get a nice African dictator to arrange all the details? Anyway, Floyd…

We can forgive Jim Harbaugh if he’s a bit prone to hyperbole when it comes to Toby Gerhart. I’m a big Gerhart fan myself — it’s just so refreshing to see an offensive player who simply flips the ball to an official after he’s scored a touchdown, instead of acting out the entire second act…

Between love and madness lies Blogdome. Leading off today we have a new company that says it can help pro athletes from cheating on their spouses. I’d like to have been in the meeting where they pitched that business plan. Also, your 2009 mugshots of the year! *** New company hopes to help athletes stay…

Golf Digest does not want Tiger’s Tips column for the next few weeks. Damn this struggling economy! Still reeling a bit from last month’s irony-filled cover (pictured), GD is suspending Woods’ monthly column for the duration of his hiatus from the sport, Boston Golf Examiner is reporting. My guess is that Golf Digest didn’t actually…

Raul Mondesi has this Dominican politics thing figured out
Dec 23, 2009, 1:00 PM EDT
Great story today in the Los Angeles Times on former Dodger Raul Mondesi, who is now a major political bigwig in his native Dominican Republic. Mondesi, the only former NL Rookie of the Year to ever be convicted of stealing electricity, was elected to the Chamber of Deputies — the Dominican equivalent of the U.S.…

What am I going to do with these tickets to Las Vegas? Is there anything else to do there? Promoter Bob Arum, who is starting to make Mr. Haney from Green Acres look like Walter Cronkite, says that the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao “Fight of the Century” has been canceled. At issue is drug testing;…

Great moment on ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption yesterday. Here’s a more complete transcript: Michael Wilbon: “Only three more days until Christmas, Korn. The question is, have you been naughty or nice?” Tony Kornheiser: “I’ve been Jewish.” Wilbon: “Uh, but, have you been naughty or nice?” Kornheiser: “It’s irrelevant.” Wilbon: “I’ve been nice.” Kornheiser: “No you…

TMZ, the site you have come to know and love for its nonstop balloon boy coverage, will produce a sports-only spinoff sometime in the New Year. So in case you were wondering which Swedish fjords will contain photographers in boats on the lookout for Elin Nordegren, the answer is now, all of them! Also following…

The latest pro athlete to come out is … a Welsh rugby player? I don’t know why I’m so surprised that English National team and Cardiff Blues winger Gareth Thomas is gay; is it just because he doesn’t look the stereotype? That’s rather shallow of me. Anyway, it wasn’t such a secret to his teammates…

Noted criminal profiler has insight on Tiger Woods' cheatin' ways
Dec 22, 2009, 11:00 AM EDT
Leave it to C.J., the gossip columnist for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, to come up with this angle. She recently interviewed a criminal profiler to get a clearer picture of how and why Tiger Woods philandered his way onto the front page of every newspaper, web site and blog in the world. Pat Brown (pictured) is…

Here’s your update on the two Missouri women’s basketball players who are accused of beating up a male cheerleader at a house party. (Your reaction: “FINALLY!”). The two athletes have been reinstated to their team, and no charges will be filed, mainly because the male cheerleader, Justin Short, is refusing to press charges. But in…

So here’s the deal: Everyone who was in attendance at Louisville on Dec. 16 who saw Papa John’s Pizza founder John Schnatter sink a halfcourt shot is entitled to a free pizza. Smart marketing or foolish promise? You be the judge: There were 18,868 fans at the game between the Cardinals and Oral Roberts, so…

A Steve Smith post-game interview to amaze you and confuse your dog
Dec 21, 2009, 5:05 PM EDT
Lost in the excitement of the Panthers’ win over the Vikings on Sunday night — and the Brett Favre drama therein — was the mystifying post-game interview with Carolina’s Steve Smith. Smith’s answers to Andrea Kremer’s questions were a riddle more baffling than the DNA molecule; the Gordian Knot of interviews. Favorite quote: “This is…

The second-greatest thing that can happen during a radio interview is the celebrity hang-up (the first greatest thing is the celebrity meltdown). Nick Lachey, who has a lot of “formers” on his resume (former husband to Jessica Simpson, former boy band member …) talked with Dan Le Batard on 790 the Ticket in Miami, and…

And now for your dining and dancing pleasure, it’s Monday Blogdome. Leading off today is the Great Snowball Fight of 2009, starring numerous Eagles fans pelting 49ers fans — and each other — with frozen missiles. Oh the humanity! And be sure to stay tuned following the jump for some hilarious Philadelphia Eagle mascot fail.…

Andrew Menninger writes: Rick- saw this book at the airport bookstore. Personally, I’m holding off until the second edition, with a new afterword by the author — “Nevermind.” The race is on. Will Tiger Traits sell more copies than this? And now, more Tiger Woods parody videos, following the jump.

Hmm, as good as she looks, something tells me that I wouldn’t want to be pulled over by Jamie Edmondson. The former Miami Dolphins cheerleader is also a former cop in Boca Raton, Fla., and judging by her malevolent personality as shown on The Amazing Race, an encounter with her in a policeman’s uniform must…

Reportedly furious that her husband has not entered rehab as he promised, and hey! Who ate all the Lucky Charms?!, Elin Nordegren is taking off the kid gloves. She’s allegedly levying divorce demands that will make a Thanksgiving night golf club beating seem like a day at the beach. Oh, and speaking of a day…

Well, it’s been quite a week. As one commenter pointed out: “Nice blog, but what’s with all the Tiger Woods? My God, every other story?” My response is much like that of Moe Green to Michael Corleone in Godfather II: “He was nailing cocktail waitresses two at a time! I had to straighten him out!…
