AT&T; is latest to end Tiger Woods sponsorship (AP via Yahoo! News) As hard as I’ve tried to avoid the whole Tiger Woods thing these past few weeks, it’s kind of hard to do that, especially when seemingly everyone, everywhere, is talking about it.

Journey is one of my more shameful guilty pleasures. The video for "Separate Ways" caused too many bad influences in my childhood to count. This past NHL playoff season, of course, Journey’s "Don’t Stop Believin’" became an unofficial anthem of the Detroit Red Wings, both for the reference in the song to "a city boy/born and raised in South Detroit," and for its general message of not giving up, no matter how tough times have been in Michigan these past few years.
