If James Bond can't beat a dancing penguin at the box office,
you have to call that an upset .

Afterall, they did have Vince Young at quarterback leading
the charge in a 24-21 upset win.
It was the biggest fourth quarter comeback in Titans history .

Unlike singer Madonna who blamed the media for her botched adoption.
Carr took full responsibility for his three turnovers, and benching

Look, I want to see the Tour Championship played without
Tiger Woods, like I want to see Kirsty Alley on Oprah in her bikini .
But the truth be told , Mr. Woods has earned
the right to do whatever he wants to on tour.

Just look at the numbers ,Tiger is the tour. He's won 8 times
this season, no one else on tour has more than 2 victories .
In fact, Shakira had more wins at the latin grammys last night taking home four.
