SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Tiger Woods had a full set of teeth and was chomping at the bit to get his season started.In Phoenix, of all places, where he hasnt been in 14 years.That might be the best indication yet that the biggest news on the PGA Tour actually might occur on a golf course.Consider the last week.Even as Jimmy Walker was rolling to a nine-shot victory in the Sony Open, the big story out of Honolulu was what happened to Robert Allenby that caused the bloody scrape on his forehead and the deep bruise in his swollen eye after a night out on the town. Allenby stood by his story Tuesday that he was beaten and robbed, even though he said he has no recollection of the 2 1/2 hours from leaving a wine bar until he wound up in park with homeless people.Two days later, Woods was photographed in Italy, where he went to support Lindsey Vonn as she captured a record 63rd World Cup race in skiing. This was Vonns big day, and Woods said he was simply trying to blend in by wearing a skeleton-patterned mask across the lower part of his face. He might have pulled it off except when the mask came down one of the most famous athletes in the world was photographed with a missing tooth.Its a new world. We need to talk about something, Woods said of the attention it created. Have to fill up space.About the time he was getting his teeth fixed, Dustin Johnson filled up space in a Sports Illustrated story about his leave of absence from the PGA Tour for what he called personal challenges that required professional help. This was the same news group that reported in August that Johnson had failed a third drug test — one for marijuana and two for cocaine — and he was suspended for six months.The PGA Tour denied the report that he was suspended. Johnson said he would not return until his first child was born. A son, Tatum, was born last week. Johnson will return next week in Torrey Pines, his first competition in six months. What a coincidence.So with all this going on, perhaps it was only fitting that an innocuous comment from Allenby on Tuesday generated the most laughs.Im hitting the ball well, he said.Golf? Were supposed to be interested in golf?Even Allenby had to stifle his laughter at the timing of the question and his answer. It was reminiscent of the year former Masters chairman Hootie Johnson stood his ground against Martha Burk and her campaign for a female member. The second question in his press conference during a rainy week in Georgia was, Is there any consideration to lift, clean and place for the tournament?Once the laughter from the absurdity of the question subsided, Johnson replied, Well, now we know why we are here.And thats where Woods comes in.Not to let the boring details of golf get in the way, but he says he is ahead of schedule in each phase of his game with new swing consultant Chris Como. He is cranking up the speed on his swing and feels that driving is the best part of his game right now.Im a lot longer than I thought I could ever be again, he said. Im touching numbers that I did 15 years ago. So thats cool.Even so, nine of the 21 questions were about his teeth. Thats to be expected. No one had seen or spoken to Woods since he was in Italy, and there were a fair number of skeptics that a videographer accidentally popped him in the mouth.That should change on Thursday, when Woods tees it up for the first time since the Hero World Challenge in early December, and the first time in an official PGA Tour event since he missed the cut at the PGA Championship. Woods, who missed most of last year with back surgery and recovery, still moves the needle. And he has help at the TPC Scottsdale with the likes of Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, Bubba Watson and Rickie Fowler.Phoenix is the most raucous event in golf outside of the Ryder Cup (and now that the U.S. Open has abandoned Bethpage Black). Add the biggest figure in golf to the mix and attendance records are in danger. Woods has played Phoenix only three times, all of them memorable. There was that hole-in-one on the 16th hole in 1997, the time he had fans move a waist-high boulder in the desert, and the fan who threw an orange on the green when he was putting.The lack of security is what drove Woods away. He said he returned because the tournament has made it more secure.Hell find out when he gets to the 16th hole on Thursday afternoon — and Saturday, presuming he makes the cut. The scene is so rowdy, and at times raunchy, that Phoenix isnt for everyone. Players have complained over the years that it has become an outdoor party where golf gets in the way.Allenby is playing, too, though odds are the fans wont be paying attention to his golf. Allenby used to be able to go through 18 holes without much notice if he wasnt playing well. With speculation and rumours about what happened in Honolulu swirling around him, no telling what kind of reception hell get when he steps into the arena on the 16th hole.One caddies suggestion: They should chant the theme song from Hawaii 5-0.

Cris Carter Jersey . -- Brandon Hope stopped 46 shots and Kurtis MacDermid scored with 27 seconds remaining in overtime as the Owen Sound Attack edged the visiting Kingston Frontenacs 5-4 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.Moritz Boehringer was the feel-good story of the 2016 NFL Draft but as far as his new coach Mike Zimmer is concerned, the German’s time in the limelight is at an end for the foreseeable future. The 22-year-old made history last Saturday as he became the first player ever to be drafted straight from Europe when the Minnesota Vikings took him in the sixth round.Boehringer, whom Minnesota initially scouted through his YouTube highlight clips, became interested in American football when he saw a clip of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. Minnesota Vikings make history by selecting German wide receiver Boehringer in the sixth round On Monday, Boehringer became the first 2016 draft pick to sign his contract when he inked a four-year, $2.49m contract with a signing bonus of $150,420.The Vikings got his deal done as quickly as possible to provide extra time for Boehringer to get a work visa, and he was cleared in time to practice Friday.That practice was a welcome to the NFL moment for Boehringer as he got sick several times in the blistering Minnesota heat.Boehringers transition from the German leagues to the NFL is unprecedented and Zimmer knows he has a mammoth task in front of him to learn what it takes - both on and off the field - to be an NFL wide receiver. Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer is known for his no-nonsense approach I want to kind of end the story, to be honest with you, Zimmer said. I want him to be here playing football and not being a celebrity.Ive given him a hard time already about being on TV shows and stuff like that. Its football now, and its time to work. The feel-good story is over.Boehringer was met by a large crowd of curious reporters as he walked off the field after his first rookie mini-camp practice and he admitted there is a big learning curve in front of hhim.ddddddddddddYou definitely have to get used to the speed, Boehringer said. There is a lot more tempo.But it was the first day so they explained some stuff to me and it was okay. The offence is new to everyone so that is good for me but in general football knowledge I have to do some work.I just have to concentrate on football right now. I want to get better and just try to show what I can do.When Boehringer wasnt getting sick on the side of the field, he had some good moments in practice which didnt go unnoticed by Zimmer.From what I saw today, hes a pretty good athlete, Zimmer said. Obviously, hes going to have to learn. The biggest thing for these guys is learning terminology. Thats hard right from the start, but thats not any different from him or anybody else. Highlights of the first round of the NFL draft, where Jared Goff was the first pick, going to the Los Angeles Rams. There is no doubt Boehringer is a project who is unlikely to be much of a factor during the 2016 season but the reason the Vikings were so intrigued by his potential is his extremely rare athleticism.At his pro day in Florida before the draft, the 6ft 4in, 227-pound Boehringer ran the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds, had a vertical jump of 39 inches, a 10-foot-11 broad jump, a time of 4.10 seconds in the short shuttle, a time of 11.15 seconds in the 60-yard shuttle and a time of 6.65 seconds in the three-cone drill. He also bench-pressed 225 pounds 17 times.All performances would have placed in the top five among receivers at the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine.We were very intrigued with his potential and his upside because you cant find that size, that speed and all the athletic test numbers that he had, general manager Rick Spielman said.Now the hard part of turning all that potential into production begins for Boehringer and the Vikings.
