with that, let me say good morning to joe carter, hln sports. good to have you.the stories in sports aren't always sports related. >> it's funny like that, since you're the sports guy, you should do it. we were talking about kobe bryant and his wife vanessa yesterday, we found the two have filed for divorce after a 10 1/2 year marriage. the thing of the situation, when you take the positive out of this is that there are two children involved and they're not going to go after a long, drawn-out nasty divorce. kobe bryant entering his 16th season in the nba will be vout vanessa for the first time in 12 and a half years because they were dating for two years before the two got married and they have both requested joint custody for their 8 and 5-year-old daughters. they say he's already moved out of their mansion and that he's living somewhere else. they do not have a prenup which means she's entitled to half of what he's earned since they have been married which as many people know and it's well documented that kobe's made a lot of money in the last ten years. >> aft

in the meantime, we'll say good morning once again to our joe carter.ple keep asking, is tiger back? every time we see those flashes of brilliance, is he back? >> love him or hate him, he is the most important player in the sport of golf. you know, i don't know. it looks like he's possibly going to put these four rounds together. this is a tournament that he's been successful at before. he played great golf yesterday. he really only faltered on one hole yesterday. he's coming off a couple of good tournaments. three weeks ago, he played his best tournament of the year, he followed that up with a strong close at the president's cup. his putter was the reason why the united states won that. now after 36 holes to chevron, he has a three-shot lead. will he hold on and get his first win in more than two years? he's been playing consistent. he shot in the 60s in eight of the last nine rounds. he's driving the ball well, putting the ball well. but it's only two rounds. we'll see. like i said in the beginning, golf needs him to win again. love him or hate it him
