Tiger Woods has yet another victory. Tiger’s victory at the AT&T National this past weekend gives him just three for the season but things are looking up for Mr. Woods. What’s more surprising than Tiger winning, and his consistent ratings increase for networks is the fact that he’ll be taking part in “The Greenbrier Classic” this week. Hopefully Tiger continues to win on the golf course and brings that competitive nature back to the sport of golf because he brings publicity, ratings, and hope to the sport in a way that no other athlete can do for their respective sport.

How Will USA Basketball Look This Year?
I’d like to preface this post by letting everyone know that NBA TV will televise the live USA Basketball team selection on July 7, at 7 p.m est. By now everyone knows how directly or indirectly the NBA lockout has affected the way Team USA will look this summer. There will be no Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Chauncey Billups, Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, and now rookie Anthony Davis all due to injury or rehabilitation to a prior injury. Recently Lamar Odom dropped his name from consideration. The wear and tear that some of these athletes endured throughout the season and playoff runs increases the likelihood of replacements once all of the training and exhibition games begin. I am very excited for the London Olympics this year. Here are my predicitons for the 2012 Olympic National team:
PG:Chris Paul
SG:Kobe Bryant
SF:Kevin Durant
PF:Lebron James
C:Tyson Chandler
Reserves: Deron Williams, Russell Westbrook, Eric Gordon, Andre Iguodala, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Love, and Blake Griffin

Charlie Sheen Still Draws Ratings
Apparently Charlie Sheen happens to still draw millions of viewers even away from his days at Two and a Half Men. Sheen’s new sitcom “Anger Management” debuted as the highest rated premiere in FX history. The first episode that aired garnered 5.5 million viewers while the second episode drew 5.7 million viewers. Charlie Sheen’s new show is loosely based off the 2003 film of the same name which starred Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler. If he and the show continues to draw these type of ratings, then expect this show to last quite a few seasons.
