When you hear of someone in a car accident at two o-clock in the morning, the first thought you have is that something (drugs, alcohol, being over-tired) was at play. Because really, people don’t leave their house (normally) at 2:25 in the morning.

But that’s just what Tiger Woods did this morning. He left very early and had a minor car crash. According to FoxSports, he “hit a fire hydrant and a neighbor’s tree as he was leaving his mansion in a gated waterfront community near Orlando, Fla.” He had facial cuts and was treated …read more

Normally, I don’t report on injuries and legal trouble in the off-season…basically because I’d be working around the clock to tell you about them all. I wanted to mention how Texas star Sergio Kindle crashed his car last week, which he made public today.

Plaxico, whose salary is $7,850,000, had failed to pay the last three premiums (to Allstate, his …read more
