JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: This year's NHL lockout meant the Kings and other hockey teams were off the ice for three months, leaving fans out in the cold while still raking in the dough. Of course the players still pay huge individual taxes. It's their leagues that have the loophole. In 2007 major league baseball voluntarily surrendered its tax-free status but many speculate that was just to avoid having to report salary inform information. Time for "the sports lead," do not worry, America. Nike says it's all OK now. You can forget about all the sleazy text messages and the porn stars and the Perkins' waitress allegedly and the children and the wife because Tiger Woods is a winner again. After Tiger regained his number one world ranking with a win at Bay Hill yesterday, Nike sent out this tweet that says winning takes care of everything. The quote originally came from Tiger last year, and I wouldn't call it a comeback quite yet anyway. Instead of thinking about number one, Tiger might want to be focused on number 15 and winning the masters. He's been stuck on 14 major wins for five years now. He's still chasing Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major wins. #you'reit. Come up with the next Nike golf tiger tweet, winning takes care of everything, also penicillin. Tweet your ideas to us at the lead CNN. Use #whoatiger. Hope I die before I get old. The immortal words of the who? But guess what, they got old and they are still smashing guitars. Aging rockers refusing to get off the stage. That's ahead in our "pop lead." Also, waiting in our greenroom, our political panel here to weigh in on Rand Paul's threat to filibuster, this time over gun rights. That's our "politics lead" straight ahead.
Tiger Woods Regained Number One World Ranking
