John Wooden 1910 - 2010

John Wooden was more than a coach. For his athletes, he was their dad and best friend. Leave a few words about this legend who’ll finally get to join his lady. Because if there is a Heaven, Wooden is there…

Note: I emailed a group of team bloggers for the title games this weekend. So far I’m waiting on the Colts and Jets, but I’d like to thank Eric at www.nosreview.com and Anthony at www.dailynorseman.com for providing breakdowns of the Saints/Vikings. (more…)

The scientific community, as I did, once believed in the theory of one singular intelligence. In 1983, Professor Howard Gardner published the book, Frames of Mind. The main point of Prof. Gardner’s book is one chapter called “A Rounded Version: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences.” His thinking was that all human beings have seven forms of intelligence: musical, bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. As a former athlete, I heard many derisive remarks towards the athlete’s intelligence, mainly that they were not intelligent. The belief that athletes do not have a great deal of intelligence is fading away, however. Modern athletes have more intelligence than is perceived by the viewer. I will, in this writing, apply Gardner’s theories to the modern athlete to prove that they are not mere jocks but intelligent in ways that modern science is now discovering.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger Woods has been seriously injured in a car wreck in Florida, authorities said Friday.

The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods hit a fire hydrant and a tree as he pulled out of his driveway early Friday in his 2009 Cadillac sport utility vehicle.

Woods was taken to Health Central Hospital. His condition was not immediately known, though the news release said his injuries were serious.

The airbags in the car did not deploy, according to a report in the Orlando Sentinel. The newspaper said that airbags typically do not deploy if a vehicle is traveling less than 33 miles per hour.

The highway patrol says the crash is still under investigation, and charges are pending. However, the highway patrol said the crash was not alcohol-related.

The Orange County Fire Rescue received a call about the accident at 2:28 a.m. ET. The Florida Highway Patrol did not report it until 2 p.m. ET.

More on the story as we find out information.
