Rory McIlroy Admits He'll Never Be Tiger Woods
Reggie Bush Wants In On Punt Returns With Niners
REGGIE BUSH
San Francisco 49ers running back Reggie Bush wants in on punt returns.
Though he hasn't been a re- turner in three years, Bush told reporters in the Bay Area on Thursday that he ap- proached the coaching staff about an increased special team’s role.
Bush would have to unseat the incumbent Bruce Elling- ton, though given his pedigree it might not be so difficult.
Marcell Dareus Suspended For First Game Of '15 Season
MARCELL DAREUS
Rex Ryan will begin his tenure in Buffalo without the services of his star defensive tackle, Marcell Dareus.
Dareus has been suspended for the Bills' season-opener against the Colts due to a viola- tion of the league's substance- abuse policy, the NFL announced Thursday.
Last May, Dareus was ar- rested for felony possession of a controlled substance and pos- session of drug paraphernalia. He was also picked up that month for reckless driving. The league did not specify the exact substance responsible for his suspension.
In the meantime, Dareus will be able to participate in all of Buffalo's practices and pre- season games.

Rory McIlroy works dili- gently to be the finest golfer of his era but he says he’s no Tiger Woods.
Since 2011, when he won his first of four major titles, the golf world has measured McIlroy against Woods and crowned him the heir apparent to the winner of 14 grand slam events. Though certainly the top player in his class — and getting better with each outing — McIlroy has shied away from such comparisons, most recently as he tuned up to de- fend his BMW PGA Champi- onship title this week on the European Tour.
And while Woods regularly claims that he can continue chasing Jack Nicklaus’

record of 18 major champi- onships into at least his mid- 40s, McIlroy hinted that he won’t be chasing little white balls around fairways and greens after the age of 40.
LeBron James Somehow
Has The Cavaliers One Win
Away From The NBA Finals
Last July, when LeBron James made the stunning de- cision to return to the Cleve- land Cavaliers after a very messy, very public divorce some four years earlier, he brought championship hopes to one of the country’s most title-starved regions. But that’s all they were. Hopes. James made certain not to make any guarantees.
After the Cavaliers knocked off the Hawks Sunday night in overtime, 114-111, James is on the precipice of leading that young team and new coach to the NBA Finals sooner than his own cautious prediction.
The Hawks are now down 3- 0 in the series, a deficit from which no team in NBA playoff history has ever recovered. In the West, the Rockets face the same 3-0 hole, making a War- riors-Cavs Finals look like a virtual lock. With the way the wind is blowing, both series could be sweeps.
Sunday night wasn’t an easy one for the Cavs. Without Kyrie Irving for the second straight game and still missing Kevin Love, they started slow at home, allowing Atlanta to lead for much of the first half. James, in particular, was well off his game.
The game looked to be turn- ing late in the half when Hawks center Al Horford was ejected on a very ques- tionable flagrant-2 call. At the time, he was the Hawks’ lead- ing scorer.
In the third quarter, Le- Bron shook off his slow start, notched an early triple-double.
No Kyrie Irving again. No Kevin Love still. But LeBron James has the Cavs positioned for their first NBA Finals ap- pearance since 2007.
His final line? 37 points, 18 rebounds, 13 assists, three steals and so many broken hearts in the Greater Atlanta area. Upon the final buzzer, the man of the hour immedi- ately collapsed to the floor.
So now, with a 3-0 lead, the pressure is on LeBron to de- liver that championship that he didn’t exactly promise he could deliver.
And of course, that title is anything but a certainty. There are still five games to win — one more to finish off Atlanta followed by four that ought to be extraordinarily hard to come by against a Golden State team playing at a level nearly topping all-time great lists.
There’s still a long way to go and a very tough challenge looming in California, assum- ing neither the Cavs or War- riors makes ignominious NBA history by blowing a 3-0 series lead. But even LeBron has to admit, this team is well ahead of schedule.
Khloe Kardashian And Floyd Mayweather: Her Crush On Boxer Revealed
Khloe just can’t stay away from those bad boys. Although she’s still not fully over Lamar Odom, the reality star is reportedly crushing on someone else, too — boxing champion, Floyd May- weather!
And, surprisingly, it was her now-ex, French Montana, who put the bad boy on her radar, a new report claims.
“French took Khloe to one of Floyd’s bouts last year and she thought he was hand- some,” Life & Style reports, adding that the two met up
