The Sports Rundown

Tuesday, December 08, 2009

I know I have typically done sports rundowns on Fridays but there is so much that has happened in sports and it has been a while since I have done a rundown so here it is.

*After an auto accident information on Tiger Woods' personal life leaks out revealing that he has cheated on his wife with multiple women. This has caused strong reactions against many of his sponsors including Nike. Public perception has also shifted while he is not a felon or anything, Woods has become one of the guys who is an outstanding athlete but cannot be looked to as a role-model.
*Bobby Bowden forced to retire after another unsuccessful season at Florida State. It is really unfortunate Bowden had to retire a year early considering how much he had done for the football program at FSU. Bowden was the second-most winningest coach in college division-1 football behind Joe Paterno.
*The five Heisman Trophy candidates have been announced and among the the candidates is defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska. He is one of the few defensive players to ever be nominated and will be among an even smaller handful if he wins the Heisman.
*Alabama will be playing Texas in the college football Citi BCS National Championship Bowl.
