Tiger Woods Hasn’t Felt This Good In Years Despite Another Back Surgery

Remember Tiger Woods? Well, you better, because he apparently feels better than he has in years.

Steven Hauschka’s Name Actually Is Stephen, But He Hasn’t Corrected Anyone In Years

Here’s your weird sports of the day: Everyone has been spelling Steven Hauschka’s name wrong for his entire NFL career. KCPQ-TV in Seattle was doing a segment with the Seahawks kicker when producer Dusty Lane double-checked the spelling of Hauschka’s last name. However, as Lane tells it, he should’ve been checking the first. A photographer checked with Hauschka and learned that the kicker’s first name actually is spelled “Stephen” rather than “Steven.” “There was a little mix-up in college,” Hauschka said, per Lane.
