Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: "Tiger Woods's agent threatened legal action after Golf Channel commentator Brandel Chamblee accused the golfer of cheating. 'Where were you four years ago?' said Elin Nordegren.

Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: Lexi Thompson won her second career LPGA golf title last week at age 18. My biggest accomplishment at 18 was balancing on one foot and pulling a sock onto the other without falling."

Cote again: "The Toronto Maple Leafs' locker room victory song is Miley Cyrus's We Can't Stop. Not sure what's more surprising: That they'd choose that song. Or that they'd admit it."

Bob Molinaro of Hampton, Va. pilotonline.com: "The Rams simply embarrassed themselves by reaching out to 44-year-old Brett Favre, whose only pitches these days are for Wrangler jeans. How far down the Rams' call list, I wonder, is Sonny Jurgensen?"

Comedy writer Jim Barach: "The St. Louis Rams reportedly tried to talk Brett Favre into a comeback. To which Favre told them, once he retires 27 times he means it."

Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press, on Twitter: "I bought a pair of Zoomies just to see the odds of the Blue Bombers making the playoffs."

Brad Dickson of Omaha World-Herald: "It was 49 degrees for Game 1 of the World Series. Boston Red Sox players were sticking their hands in their beards to stay warm."

This isn't sports-related in the least, but Brad Dickson shows no respect for Canada by pointing out: "The fossilized remains of a dinosaur were discovered in Canada. Now, anthropologists will try to determine the cause of death. Because it's Canada, I'm guessing the dinosaur died of boredom."

Another one from RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: "Just how 'youthful' is San Jose Sharks rookie Tomas Hertl? He lost a tooth the other day and put it under his pillow."

Another one from Dickson, on Advil being named the official pain reliever of the NHL: "This is the second-most lucrative endorsement deal, next to being the official bail bondsman of the NFL."

Steve Schrader of the Detroit Free Press, on Fantex Brokerage's plans to sell stock in Texans RB Arian Foster: "Darn. My broker has me invested in Matt Schaub."
