The NHLPA recently signed an agreement with David Suzuki to go ‘carbon neutral’. While I think carbon credits are merely a sham that allow people to feel guilt-free while polluting at the same time, it’s definitely a good first step. It’s about time that sports leagues starting noticing that the extensive travel comes at an environmental cost.
Now, there are those who claim that ‘Global Warming’ is a myth, CO2 is not a pollutant, and that humans really haven’t damaged the environment all that much.

So the story is out there and reality is setting in. Paul Wulff is the new head coach. There are a lot of pros, and some cons as well, and that’s to be expected for a guy without a successful D-1 resume. But is that overrated?

Tiger Woods was named the PGA Tour’s Player of the Year for the third straight time, and ninth in 11 years, PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem announced Tuesday.
“To earn the respect of your peers is the highest honor you can receive,” Finchem said. “These players all demonstrated remarkable skill and dedication to their craft this past season and we congratulate them on their selections.”
Woods, 31, won seven times in 2007, including the PGA Championship, his 13th major championship title, and captured the inaugural FedExCup. In addition, his season was highlighted by wins in two World Golf Championships events, and he closed by winning two of the four events in the first-ever PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup and four of his final five starts overall.

Here’s the latest rumors/rumblings/grumblings on some of the head coaching searches….
ARKANSAS
The Razorbacks have all but conceded that the administration has bungled the coaching search. Arkansas has hired coaching search guru Chuck Neinas to assist from here on out.
The Hogs were in talks with Atlanta Falcons head coach Bobby Petrino, but that did not pan out. Oakland Raiders OC Lane Kiffen was also linked to the position, but sources say that Kiffen has removed his name from the search, too. Auburn DC Will Muschamp is still in the mix. The Gold Mine says that a “head coach at a Texas school ” is also on the list, presumably TCU’s Gary Patterson. Arkansas is also said to be interested in Oklahoma DC Brent Venables and even interim coach Reggie Herring, although the Razorbacks would prefer to hire a proven head coach rather than an assistant.
