THE SHARK: Jim Dreyer's plan to raise money for charity was to swim 22 miles across Lake St. Clair near the Michigan-Canada border, while towing two dinghies filled with bricks weighing more than 2,000 pounds. The long-distance swimmer who calls himself "The Shark" expected to make the swim in about 30 hours, but it took him nearly 51 hours because of big waves along the way. When he reached Detroit's Belle Isle, though, he only had one dinghy in tow, and no quick explanation where the other one went. "Sorry I'm late," he said, looking a lot like he had been hit by a ton of bricks.
TIGER'S CHANCES: Tiger Woods hasn't won a major in more than five years, a fact his fans always seem to overlook. There's no other possible reason that he's a 4-1 favorite in the PGA Championship unless, of course, Phil Mickelson has to leave to attend his daughter's first day of high school. Yes, Woods is coming off a dominating win in the Bridgestone Invitational and, yes, he has won five times this year. But he's been losing his focus on the weekends in majors and that doesn't figure to change this week at Oak Hill. He will have Lindsay Vonn there cheering him on, though,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, so he has that going for him. |
