With stories like these it's hard to believe nothing came out sooner. [via @drewmagary]

Where's the fun in this?

From @sportspickle:

So @TigerWoods is now following @Yankees on Twitter. Also @Lakers. His next follow?: @Frontrunner.

I can forgive the Lakers since he was there during Showtime, but the man grew up in California with 5 baseball teams to choose from.  There really may be some character building that comes with rooting for an underdog, just look at LeBron with his Yankees/Cowboys "devotion."

Hawks Motion Offense

Getting season tickets for the Hawks this year has turned out to be a really great idea.  I was able to get good seats at a good price, and they've become a really fun team to root for as Horford and Smith have matured (using that term loosely with Josh).  With Larry Drew in as the new head coach this year I've heard lots about him bringing in the motion offense, but I really just know more about what it isn't rather than what it is.  The results have shown on the court as there are a lot less Joe Johnson or Jamal Crawford isolations, but this article from Dime Magazine did a fantastic job of breaking down the idea of the motion offense in one play.
