Golfer Tiger Woods has mentioned he will be speaking to a select few that includes a small group of friends, close associates and colleagues Friday at 11 a.m. eastern time at the TPC Sawgrass clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.

Woods intends to talk about his past, which has been in the media through all forms and platforms, an apology for his behavior and his future, one which golf would be more interested in.

The Seattle Seahawks have fired head coach Jim Mora after only his first season in charge and there are speculations that USC head coach Pete Carroll might take over the position. According to ESPN.com, an announcement of Carroll becoming the Seahawks’ head coach could happen as early as next week.

ESPN.com is citing league sources that would rather remain anonymous.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a feeling they can make the post season with their current form, but the status of their safety and leader on defense Troy Polamalu is uncertain as they prepare for their last game of the regular season on the road against the Miami Dolphins.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are quickly running out of games to turn their season around and they might also be without their most key player on defense, safety Troy Polamalu for the rest of the season.

Polamalu has been nursing a left knee injury that was initially listed as game-by-game, but it seems the knee is not healing fast enough for the perennial Pro Bowler to get back on the field and help his team on defense.

Though Polamalu hopes to still play this season, there are serious doubts and he also affirmed that there no date set for his return.

The Buffalo Bills are currently without a head coach after firing Dick Jauron and the perfect man for the job is former Bills player and current coach of the year in the UFL, Jim Haslett.

This year, Haslett joined the new United Football League, a debutant football league, in October and led the Florida Tuskers to a 6-0 record in their first season. Though Haslett’s team was upset in the UFL Championship game, the first of its kind, by the Las Vegas Locomotives 20-17 in overtime, his knowledge of the Bills and experience coaching in the NFL would be a great addition to the 3-6 Bills.

In the wake of the recent concussion studies that have come out about NFL players and the effects those concussions have on players, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has announced some changes to the way players are treated after suffering the injury.

In a memo to teams, Goodell stated that a player who gets a concussion should not return to action on the same day if he shows certain signs or symptoms. Those symptoms include an inability to remember assignments or plays, a gap in memory, persistent dizziness and persistent headaches.

It seems the quarterback scenario that occurred in Tennessee last season, is happening this year in Oakland. The Raiders decided to bench their No.1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell for backup Bruce Gradkowski for the Sunday game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

It proved to be the right move as Gradkowski, with a little help from the Bengals, pulled off a 20-17 win for the Raiders at home.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu hurt his knee during their home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and it seems the Steelers will have to carry on without Polamalu, again this season, for more than one game.

Unfortunately for Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco and the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, head coach Marvin Lewis is not as generous as he is so the Steelers will not be receiving mustard courtesy of Ochocinco.

This week Ochocinco tweeted that he would be sending the Steelers’ defense mustard at Heinz Field before they play on Sunday. This season Ochocinco has made a habit out of sending the opposing team gifts before the game that motivate him and poke fun at them.
