It Takes Tiger to Tango A solid drive on the 72nd hole of the Players Championship had Tiger Woods spinning his club and dancing out of the tee box. And with good reason: The shot set up a routine par to wrap up a two-stroke win, Woods's second Players title. Sergio García—with whom Woods feuded all weekend—was six over on the last two holes to finish six shots back.

Who's the Rarest of Them All? A perplexed fan in an old-school Caps jersey—Rangers colors, dude!—stood out in a sea of red last Saturday in Washington at Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against New York.

In this case the question is moot: Ronnie Renner did have an (off-camera) audience of fans who turned up at the Calico Ghost Town in Yermo, Calif., to see him perform on May 8. The jump was to promote a Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour event, which was held in nearby Glen Helen.
