DeBerry said he witnessed the incident on Aug. 9 and asked Hurt, about it after practice. "This is very uncharacteristic of this coach," ry said. "This coach has great character, has a real passion for kids, wants kids to do well, loves his kids. These kids love him. Football is a very volatile game."

"Yankee Stadium is an iconic stadium, a place where Ruth and (Lou) Gehrig played, where popes and presidents have spoken," Gov. George Pataki said. "But so, too, will the new Yankee Stadium be an iconic stadium." Pataki joined team owner George Steinbrenner, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and others for the groundbreaking ceremony at the site ef the new stadiumrjust north of the existing 1923 ballpark. The billion-dolla- r Bronx stadium is set to open in 2009. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said he remembered going to Yankee Stadium as a teenager. "I can still feel the joy and excitement as I stared in wonder at the field, perfect in every way," he said. "And there in center field stood the hero of my boyhood, the great Joe DiMaggio. ... Yankee Stadium is an American monument that has endured for 84 years. Today we are breaking ground on a new Yankee Stadium, a new monument and new memories for the coming generations of fans." Steinbrenner, who complained of the heat, was brief. "It's a pleasure to give this to you people," he said. "Enjoy the new stadium. I hope it's wonderful."

David Witt was discovThe body of ered at a parking garage Tuesday afternoon, said Paul Parker, an investigator with the San Diego County Medical Examiner. He had a gunshot wound to the head, and the death was ruled a suicide, Parker said. "The Landises are devastated by the news of David's death," family spokesman Michael Henson told The Associated Press. "They loved him dearly, and they miss him." Witt was the stepfather of Landis' wife, Amber. Landis' close friend, Dwight van Sryke, said he did not believe the recent doping allegations against the cyclist directly led to the suicide. "It could have been a few percentages of the whole maybe, or just another negative thing that he was depressed over," said van Sfyke, adding Witt had also been struggling under the strain of opening a new restaurant earlier this year. An avid amateur cyclist, Witt met Landis through a mutual coach in 1998 and at one point the two shared an apartment in San Diego, Henson said. It was Witt who introduced Landis to his future wife and has been credited with introducing Landis a fdrmer mountain biker to the world of road COULD NEXT 10 BE BETTER FOR TIGER?

Head buried on his caddie's shoulder, he stood sobbing on the 18th green at Royal Liverpool thinking about how much his win would have meant to the father who meant so much to him. Don't blame the guys playing against him at the British Open if they didn't notice. Not that they're unsentimental, but after watching Woods go racing. Witt and Landis served as best man at each other's weddings, Henson said. Witt married Amber Landis' mother Rose, a schoolteacher, a short time after the younger, couple married in 2000. 72 holes without coming close a shot, they had to be more concerned about other things. Like figuring out their schedule for next year to make sure they play some tournaments Woods isn't in. Like rehearsing speeches about how they tried hard but till ended up in second place. Because the ominous feeling on the driving range and in the locker room this week is this: The greatest player in the world may not have even played his greatest golf yet. "I can see him getting even better and better as each year goes on," former U.$. Open champion Michael Campbell said. That's kind of hard to imagine, given that Woods has won 50 PGA titles and 11 major titles in his first decade on the tour. Take a closer look at what has gone on in Woods' life and with his golf game in the last few years, though, and you begin to get the idea Woods tees off today as such a prohibitive favorite in the PGA Championship that some Vegas sports books won't take money on him.

That question was posed to Woods at a news conference this week and it had to be chilling for ether players to hear his response: "As far as comparison, I think it's very similar," he said. "I think I've had some great steps in my career out here so far, and this is certainly one of them. Hopefully, I can keep it going for a while." Golf fans should hope so, too, because Woods has given them thrills that 20 Retief Goosens couldn't come close to. Hard to believe it was 10 years ago this summer that Woods was trying to figure out his class load for the fall semester at Stanford.
