Tiger Woods turns down offers, for now, to tee off on biography
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Publishers are throwing million-dollar deals at Tiger Woods for an authorized biography or an instructional book, but Woods and those around him think the offers are premature, sources told The Associated Press. One concern has been that the lure of projects offering riches would consume Woods' time and detract from his development as a golfer.
"It seems he is going to concentrate on golf," another source said, noting that Woods doesn't need the money from a book deal because of his reported $40 million endorsement agreement with Nike.
The rush of unauthorized Tiger Woods books, however, will begin almost immediately.
"We've had offers for rights from a dozen publishers, and we have asked them to submit proposals. In the world of golf publishing, the numbers are just as impressive as
"There are several unauthorized books in the works," said Ber Norwood, a representative for International Management Group, the agency that represents Woods.
Nike. Nobody you can name in golf has received an offer for a book like the ones that have come in."
Tiger Woods
Four sources in the publishing industry, all speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that the offers were in the $1.5 million to $2 million range and that publishing giants Random House and Double-day are in the hunt.
And while IMG said it was entertaining the offers, those sources and two others close to Woods said that the golfer, his family and his advisers think the time is not right for a book.
There are two reasons for not authorizing a book now, the sources said: the demand on Woods' time and public and peer perception of a biography about a 20-year-old.
"The 40 to 50 hours he would need to spend with a writer would be better spent at this time practicing or resting," the source said.
Publishing a Woods biography would not be without risk. A biography of NBA star Shaquille O'Neal received a reported $1 million advance and was not a commercial success.
industry sources said an instructional book by Woods would have greater appeal.
One unauthorized book in the works is Tiger Woods: The Makings of a Champion, by Tim Rosafore, author of Heartbreak Hill, the story of the U.S. defeat in the 1995 Ryder Cup.
Neil Bascomb of St. Martin's Press, publisher of the book, said,
"it's going to be a behind-the-scenes look at Tiger's first months on tour and how he got there. We think the interest is going to be huge. Tiger certainly has been getting a ton of publicity and his story is remarkable."
Scott Waxman, Rosaforte's agent, said they hoped to have the book in the stores by the time of the PGA Merchandise Show in late January.
"Tim's book is going to be the first full-length biography of Tiger." Waxman said.
Other books expected to hit the stands include an unauthorized diary of Woods' first full year on the tour and an unauthorized biography aimed at children.
But for now, the real story of how Tiger Woods climbed out of a high-chair when he was 10 months old, started swinging a plastic putter and went on to become the most eagerly awaited golfer in history will have to wait.
Panthers backup quarterback is ready to play former team this week, if needed
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Ask Steve Beuerlein if there's any special significance to playing his old team this week, and a devilish smile crosses the face of the Carolina Panthers quarterback.
"Almost every week I'm playing a team I used to play for," said Beuerlein, who is on the fifth stop of his nine-year NFL career.
His latest job is shaping up to be something special. The Panthers are 3-0 going into their game against 1995 expansion cousin Jacksonville, and Beuerlein is a big reason why. Starting in place of the injured Kerry Collins, Beuerlein threw 290 yards and two touchdowns Sunday to help Carolina beat San Francisco 23-7 and take sole possession of first
place in the NFC West.
"This is what it's all about; this is what I've been waiting for," Beuerlein said, "Football is fun again."
Bauerlein was starting to wonder if he would be able to say that again after being relegated to Buddy Ryan's doghouse in Arizona in 1994 and then moving to Jacksonville, only to lose his starting position there as well. The Jaguars elected to go with younger Mark Brunell at quarterback, so Beuerlein hit the road again in search of a better fit.
Buerlein, 31, signed a three-year, $2.3 million deal with Carolina in the off-season. While making the deal, Buerlein was well aware that the Panthers had made Collins their first-ever draft choice and signed him to a seven-year, $23-million pact last year.
"I'm comfortable with my role here," Beuerlein said. "I was a lot more excited about coming here to back up Kerry and be in this situation than stay in the situation I was in."
Collins, 23, sprained his left knee in Carolina's victory at New Orleans on Sept. 8. His status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars will be determined later this week.
"We've got 13 games to go," coach Dom Capers said, "and if Kerry's not close to 100 percent, I'm going to feel some reluctance to put him out there."
Capers said he wouldn't hesitate to start Beuerlein again, who completed 22 of 31 passes against the 49ers. Beuerlein had a 17-for-20 first half to help the Panthers race to a 17-10 lead.
I think it's a great situation to have," Capers said. "I think probably every team in the NFL would like to have a backup quarterback they would feel very confident can come in and play."
Bauerlein tried to downplay possibly having extra motivation to go against former teammates.
"It's really not as significant as people might think," he said. "It's a football game. My job is to go out and play football and be ready to play. Sure, when I walk in the locker room and when I walk out on the field, I'll have a little bit more going through my head than most people here on this team will. But football's football. You've got to be ready to go out and play. It doesn't matter who you're playing."

Boston Garden housecleaning auction to offer scoreboards, banners and bathroom urinals
BOSTON — So you got outbid for President Kennedy's golf clubs, and a $640,000 Honus Wagner baseball card is a little out of your price range?
Don't give up. Boston Garden will clean out its attic Friday night by auctioning everything from the original scoreboard to the signs on the bathroom doors.
"All the Babe Ruth uniforms in the world combined could not match how I felt when I first stepped onto the Boston Garden floor knowing that Leland's was going to be a part of this auction," auction house chairman Joshua Leland Evans wrote in the catalog's "Dear Fan" letter. "... We came to feel a little like Howard Carter searching through King Tut's tomb."
Maybe it was the echoes of long-dead conquerors that brought the Egyptian sarcophagus to mind. Or maybe it was the dust and the cobwebs — the general dinginess that forced the Garden to close last year after 68 years as Boston's premier indoor arena.
For about $1,000, a buyer could have the organ that played We Are The Champions for the Celtics, which earned that title in the NBA a record 16 times.
Likewise the scoreboard that ticked away 68 years of sports memories. But before you get out your checkbook, keep in mind that it's three stories high.
With the $160 million FleetCenter now playing host to the Boston Bruins and Celtics and a wrecking ball sizing up the old barn's brick walls, everything must go.
So who would shell out the estimated $40,000 to $50,000 to take the massive piece home?
"It's a good organ," noted Frank Giamette, the Garden's point man on the project. "Still works, by the way."
Maybe someone with a big back.
There are a lot of stories in these old auction lots, such as the card table from the usher's room that had a king and an ace stuck underneath with some chewing gum.
One prospective buyer has pestered Glamette for one of the men's room urinals, which were legendary for their propensity to break down; not for sale. Nor are the hockey penalty boxes, which were set aside for frequent inhabitants Terry O'Reilly, a former Bruin, and ex-Montreal Canadian John Ferguson.
In one of the usher's lockers was one-half gallon of Seagram's V.O. whiskey, selling for $16.99 at Kappy's liquor store on Route 1. The whole lot, including table, whiskey, usher's uniform and more, has an estimated price of $300.
Bruins fans who salivate at the chance to hold their heroes close
yard," Leland's representative, Michael Puzzo, said.
can buy Cam Neely's mouthpiece for $100. For Celtics fans, there is Red Auerbach's seat, complete with the dual phone jacks — one to call the bench and one with an outside line that he used to order Chinese food.
And, for those who missed out when most of Camelot was auctioned off in New York this summer, there are two unused tickets to an election eve rally for John F. Kennedy in 1960 for $300.
Ridley's injury for an original Bruins Bidding starts for an original Bruins Stanley Cup championship banner at $1,500. For fans of old-time hockey, the flag commemorating Eddie Shore's retired No. 2 is up for $3,000.
For now, everything sits behind a locked fence in the Garden concourse, with security guards and cameras keeping an eye on the gate. On Friday, those who have purchased an auction catalog will be admitted to the arena floor to start the bidding.
