Reasons for Alex’ Rodriguez newfound October success
5
The law of averages. Look, he’s been a good player for a long time. He was bound to start hitting in the playoffs sooner or later.

We emphasized the negative. Through Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS, Rodriguez had a .372 average and 1.059 OPS in 22 career postseason games. Look it up.

Kate Hudson.Ever hear the saying, "Behind every successful man stands a strong woman?" Maybe it’s true.

Mark Teixeira.The Yankees have a newer, highly-paid player to pick on. And don’t look now, but he was batting .133 through Game 4.

Inner peace. Earlier this season, with the steroids scandal behind him, Rodriguez said he felt liberated. Maybe he’s growing up.

Tony's Top 5
NFL quarterbacks of all-time
5
Troy Aikman. One of the great big-game quarterbacks of all-time, his regular-season stats don’t impress. But he was a winner.
4
John Elway. OK, so he didn’t win a Super Bowl until Terrell Davis came along. But he the arm, head and guts. Complete package.
3
Peyton Manning. When it’s all over, he will go down as the greatest passer of all-time. With another title or two, he could be more.
2
Tom Brady. The closest thing to Joe Montana since Montana retired. Had the Pats won Super Bowl XLII, he might have been No. 1.
1
Joe Montana. In four Super Bowl appearances, Montana went 4-0 and threw 11 touchdowns with no interceptions. Enough said.

Catching Tiger by the taleTiger doesn't need a swing coach he needs a swinger coach. Someone who can teach him how to step out. Calling her from his cell phone, leaving a recorded message on her phone what a dope.

A comprehensive breakdown of the PatsLet there be no doubt that this is a highly flawed team. However, there is no one in the AFC who scares me to the point that I don't think the Pats could beat them in January, even on the road which they will clearly have to do now.
