Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer in the history of the game.

The overall effects of running are beneficial. (If you're in condition to do it. At some point, maybe you have to stop.)

Players are more responsible for the proliferation of steroid use in Major League Baseball. I don't recall reading about management taking steroids. It's the players. Secondary responsibility to a lax environment, but primary responsibility with the players.

Sponsors should not drop Michael Phelps as their celebrity spokesman. They're certainly entitled to do so. But do I think they "should"? No.

Alex Rodriquez's steroid use should not keep him out of the Hall of Fame. The League didn't forbid it at the time.

USA Swimming should not have suspended Michael Phelps. He hasn't been charged with anything, nor failed a test. If they penalize him for admitting his mistake, it will discourage athletes from trying to be forthright and honest, which is what he has been.

Joe Torre's memoir about his time with the New York Yankees is appropriate.

Mark McGwire should be voted into the Hall of Fame.

Michael Phelps is not the greatest Olympic athlete of all time. Sorry. It has nothing to do with Michael, but everything to do with the issue. It's just silly. Unless Michael competes in the decathlon or some track and field, or the track and field athletes take up swimming, it's really hard to say. They each excel in

Awarding the 2008 Summer Olympics to China was not a mistake. I wouldn't have done it. But this isn't a referendum on how democratic the host country is, it's about the sports. And it's hard to argue with China as a sports power.

Brett Favre should come out of retirement. Oh! I didn't know it was to be a Jet!

USA will win the most medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics. I hope it's not just jingoism. I really believe they will. (Swimming, anyone?)

Beijing's air pollution will affect the performance of athletes competing in the 2008 Olympics. I'm happy to be proven wrong. (I won't go back and change my opinion after the fact.)

Native American nicknames should not be used in team names. Don't we have enough alternatives?

The U.S. should not boycott the Beijing Olympics.

The Boston Red Sox will win the 2007 World Series.
