Winston Bennett

Winston Bennett
was an NBA player, former coach and star for the Kentucky Wildcats. I grew up watching Bennett play and admired his ability. One thing I don't admire, however, is Bennett's off-the-court behavior. In a recent ESPN interview, Bennett admitted to having sex with roughly 90 women per month before he got married, and half that many women after his wedding.

The NCAA tournament is starting again, and the world is taking notice. Corporations are paying hundreds of millions of dollars for advertising, and the coaches are getting rich. What's also true (and you've heard me say this before) is that the players and their families aren't getting anything, even an education.

According to a study released this week by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport
, the graduation gap between white and black players has widened this year for the teams participating in March Madness. This year, 45 NCAA tournament teams graduated more than 70 percent of their white players, up from 33 last year. But the number this year has remained the same for black players, with only 20 out of 65 teams graduating 70 percent of their black athletes.

Tiger Woods


Get ready for the biggest sports story of the year: Tiger Woods will return to golf at the 2010 Masters tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club.

Woods said in a press release that his deep respect for the Masters, where Woods won his first major professional golf tournament in 1997, made it the natural place for him to end his self-imposed hiatus from the sport that has brought him worldwide acclaim.

Television ratings for the Masters will likely break all-time viewership records as public interest in all things Tiger has soared since the sex scandal that has turned his life into a public soap opera complete with sexy mistresses, a distressed wife, humiliation and a public looking for more details.

Gilbert Arenas Esquire


The light bulb of intelligence in Gilbert Arenas' head, that light that's been dim for years and was shut off completely a few months ago when he brought guns in to his basketball locker room, might be showing signs of life.

Arenas told Esquire magazine he now understands he deserves to be punished for bringing guns in to the Washington Wizards locker room in what he says was a prank on a teammate in December.

Now maybe Arenas also grasps that 2 plus 2 equals 4.

Mike Tyson on Animal PlanetEven though Mike Tyson is getting back into boxing shape, he'll also be spending a lot of time with his pigeons this summer – and he's getting a show about it. According to the New York Post, Tyson has secured a reality show with Animal Planet called "Taking on Tyson," where he'll go around various rooftops in New York, racing his pigeons against other pigeon owners.

"I may have stopped fighting," Tyson told the Post. "But I never stopped flying birds. It's my first love. I am a little worried about the sitcom effect. Mike Tyson and Animal Planet? They don't seem to go together, do they?"

Tyson told the Post that he owns a few hundred birds across two lofts in Brooklyn and New Jersey. He's never raced his birds before, so he's tapped pigeon trainer Vinnie Torre to get the pigeons race-ready. Apparently pigeon racing has the birds flying up to 500 miles with lots of money wagered on the winners.
