Whether you've reached the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Rangers return from Houston today to start a series in Arlington against the lowly Florida Marlins.

Beats me. Monday I watched both Williams sisters lose at Wimbledon, a week after Andy Roddick bowed out. It leaves as the only American quarterfinalist gentlemen's 10th seed Mardy Fish, a 29-year-old doubles specialist who will hardly threatening Rafael Nadal's throne. We heard a b ... More >>
Whether you've reached the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Went and watched the American professional debut of Cuban defector/Rangers' prospect Leonys Martin last night in Frisco.

Via DeadspinLook over to the right... yeah, right there.Are you one of those people annoyed by the word meme? Well, turn away dear friend. Yesterday, the Daily Mail posted an incredible photograph from the Ryder Cup--one depicting a golf ball not much more than a nose hair away from the lens. Of ... More >>
Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Like you, I'm beyond frustration at the Texas Rangers' financial state. Chuck Greenberg, as I wrote in April, is the best man for the job. And I still believe he and Nolan Ryan will wind up ownin ... More >>
I was always jealous of Hank Haney's gig. Being Tiger Woods' swing coach, I surmised, was about as difficult as being Megan Fox's beauty consultant. Boy was I wrong. The Dallas-based golf guru rips Woods in a Golf Digest article, saying of his relationship with Tiger: "It didn't g ... More >>
Is it because he's so powerful? So rich? So over-the-top passionate? Or is it because he's won three Super Bowls? Built an unprecedented stadium that is gobbling up sports? Or kept his team popular, relevant and "successful" despite only one playoff win in 13 years? Whatever the reason, ... More >>
The fake Tiger Woods, the real Joslyn James and an authentic dork.Mark Taborn is 37. Lives in Los Angeles. Works in the corporate world. And is a hack of a golfer carrying a 23 handicap. Weird, because not a single day passes that he isn't confused for Tiger Woods. I spent my blogless ... More >>
No Tiger. No problem. Phil Mickelson won't be at today's opening round of the HD Byron Nelson Classic out in Las Colinas. Neither will Tiger Woods or past champs like Sergio Garcia or Adam Scott or, really, anybody you've ever heard of outside Vijay Singh and maybe defending champ Rory Sabba ... More >>
With Phil Mickelson out and Tiger Woods out and golf pretty much dead, this year's HP Byron Nelson Classic in Irving May 20-23 will be much ado about nothing The Pavilion. What's new, right? That could change, if the dudes in red pants would think outside their yellow-roped bo ... More >>
I've been known to be a glass-half-empty sorta guy. (Psst: I'm geniunely positive, I just like to play an a-hole in here and on 105.3 The Fan.) Last summer I wished failure upon the noggin' of one Terrell Owens. Whatdya know, he sucked in Buffalo and these days is without a job. Recently I t ... More >>
Wilt Chamberlain infamously said he slept with 20,000 women. More recently, Winston Bennett claimed a rate of three girls per day. And now - according to the National Enquirer - Tiger Woods is said to have confessed to sleeping with 120 women during his five-year marriage to wife Elin. ... More >>
Karma 1, Tiger Woods 0. See, that's what I'm talking about. Why give Tiger an exaggerated ovation when you can cheer for someone who overcomes adversity that isn't self-inflicted? Someone who doesn't made repititive, horrible, corrupt choices. Someone whose wife and mother are dealing w ... More >>
Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your rope, welcome to Whitt's End: *Don't care if you're a puckhead or merely a fan of storybook endings, you had to have been moved (to tears?) by Mike Modano's swan song at American Airlines Center Thursday night. In his final hom ... More >>
Long after Tiger Woods stops talking and the Texas Rangers have finished beating the Toronto Blue Jays, March Madness will finally end tonight at 8 when Butler plays Duke for the National Championship. (Smells like a Duke blowout to me.) Show of hands: Whose bracket has Butler in the final g ... More >>
Tiger Woods likely won't play the Byron Nelson or the Colonial this year. But he is playing The Masters and - surprise - he will hold a true press conference. Not a staged, fake 13-minute reading or a controlled, 5-minute session in which the juicy questions are blown off with "That's a priv ... More >>
Just Do It? Tiger Woods has done it all. From 14 Grand Slams to even more extra-marital affairs, he's turned all the tricks. But last week's State of the Brand address was an unprecedented doozy. Tiger actually proved it's possible - if not preferred - to be defiant while simultaneously aski ... More >>
Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *I'm setting the over/under on Tiger Woods saying the word "sorry" in this morning's sanitized statement at 4.5, and I'm taking the under. I'll also be shocked if he cries. At some point he will, b ... More >>
For the first time since his late-night Thanksgiving car wreck, we'll hear from Tiger Woods. Friday at 10 a.m. (live everywhere, including on our show at 105.3 The Fan) the world's most recognizable athlete will apparently address his past failures and future plans. Of course I'm i ... More >>
The other day Jesse "Hophead" Hughey said something about the role of those special edition $150 beers--something along the lines of "they generate publicity and motivate interest in beer."True enough. Basketball needed Michael Jordan and golf Tiger Woods...well, until recently. Indeed, every mar ... More >>
Hinty hint hint.That question, of course, is a trick 'em, dick 'em way of telling you - psst! - here's what's on my list. What I don't want in my stocking this Christmas: Coal. A Snuggie.

I have great parents. As a kid, they provided for me and poured the foundation for me to grow into a decent - I said decent - human being through principles, rules and accepted boundaries. My parents raised me. But Bjorn Borg molded me. I'd be home by my 10 p.m. curfew because of my parents. ... More >>
Fame. Fortune. Females. Ah, the life. Tiger Woods has it all. Except as of last week, of course, he needs a new driver. I'd love to hit a 210-yard 6-iron. I'd love to win a Major or 14. Truth to be told, I'd love me some Elin, too. I'd love for my image to be worth 10 times my golf game. I'd ... More >>
Tonight's the next chapter in one of sports' best rivalries. That's right, I said best.To be a true sports rivalry - more than just a plethora of games between teams in close proximity (see Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals) - the meetings between opponents must: *Take place at a ... More >>
