Sergio: I'm the Victim

After hitting the ball in the water three times on the final two holes after he was tied with Tiger Woods in the final round of the Players Championship on Sunday, Sergio Garcia was asked about his flap with Woods the day before and claimed he was the victim. "It sounds like I was the bad guy here," Garcia said. "I was the victim." Woods won the Players Championship on Sunday as Garcia collapsed, playing the last two holes at 6-over par. by Tony Lee 12 May 2013

Speculation: Scioscia for Mattingly 'Trade' Possible

Memo to Wannabe: Go Free Agency, Not Draft

Chippy: Tiger, Sergio Exchange Words After Rain-Shortened Third Round at Players

Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia just plain don't like each other. During a rain delay in the third round, Garcia told NBC that he hit an errant shot on the second hole because he was distracted when Woods pulled a club from his bags. Even though video replays showed the noise occurred while Garcia stood over his ball and not during his golf swing, Garcia was having none of it. The two barely acknowledged the other on Saturday on the golf course. Woods, Garcia, and Lingmerth are tied for first at -11. Woods and Garcia, though, will not be in the final pairing on Sunday. Garcia and Lingmerth will be the last group that tees off. Woods tees off with Casey Wittenberg (-10) in the group before them. by Tony Lee 11 May 2013

School of Hard Knocks: NFLPA May Have Amended Rule to Prevent Jay-Z from Representing Players

The NFL Players Association may have amended its rules to tighten "undergraduate and post-graduate degree requirements" for agents in order to prevent Jay-Z from representing NFL players like New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz. The amended rule states that agents "must come from an accredited college but there's no question that if you don't have one, this rule would prevent you from recruiting players." Jay-Z, the Roc Nation Sports founder, may not "possess the academic credentials to pass union certification." One agent said the new rule was a "shot across the bow of Jay-Z." by Tony Lee 11 May 2013

Redskins Owner: We Will 'NEVER' Change Team Name

Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder vehemently said he would never change the team's name even if it lost a trademark lawsuit. A Washington, D.C. councilman is intent on pushing a non-binding resolution calling on the team to change its name and there has been more of a clamor to pressure the Redskins to change the name to something critics see as more benign--such as "Redtails." Native American groups assert the name is racist and akin to the "N-word." "We'll never change the name," Snyder said. "It's that simple. NEVER — you can use caps." by Tony Lee 10 May 2013
