Welcome to Saturday Scorecard, where perspective is everything.

For example, after the week we had, 30 degrees feels downright balmy. A few thoughts to consider before we put on our shorts and tank top and head outside for a stroll before the Marquette-Wisconsin battle this afternoon.

Doing the right thing: Tiger Woods announced, once again via his Web site, that he is suspending his golf career indefinitely in order to work on the marital problems caused by his serial infidelity, which was exposed in the last two weeks.

While that seems like the right thing to do, given Tiger's marketing commitments the carefully-constructed image we've seen unravel since Black Friday, you have to question whether some part of this decision was designed to appease anxious sponsors.

Woods' dizzying fall from grace will lead to a lot of navel-gazing by folks in tweed jackets with patches on the elbows and pipes in the ashtray. They all will wonder about the line between public and private obligations for uber-celebs, but when the next juicy story comes down the pike everyone will jump at it.

That's the soup we're in.

Rookies should be seen, not heard: Packers defensive lineman B.J. Raji got a lesson in media relations this week. Raji honestly answered a question about his counterpart in the Bears-Packers matchup, Olin Kreutz.

Raji opened the debate by telling Journal Sentinel reporter Greg Bedard, "It's nothing physical, it's all technical. I'm stronger than the guy. I mean, that's not really talking [smack]; he's just fast. That's not his game, really, strength. He's more trying to out-leverage you, get around you. Once I get the feel of that then the game will come a lot easier.

"It's not going to take me a whole [game] to get used to him moving. Football's football. He's not going to change the way he plays because there's a new nose on him. He's going to play the way he's been playing. So what I watch on film, it's probably going to help me out the most, actually."

When Chicago reporters asked Kruetz for his reaction on Friday, he seemed incredulous. "Is that his exact quote, or are you guys changing the quote a little bit?" he asked before taking aim at the rookie.

"Is that his expertise after [10] games in the NFL?" Kruetz asked, adding "That's the way young players are nowadays, they are all pretty much clowns. After 10 games, he probably thinks he's the strongest guy in the NFL."

Look for Fox to get some mileage out of this tomorrow.

Bragging rights: The Wisconsin-Marquette matchup will hinge on the Badgers' ability to contain Golden Eagles forward Jimmy Butler, who just might be the best athlete on the court today. Marquette must slow down Trevon Hughes, whose big game went for naught in a stunning loss to UW-Green Bay.
