Tillman and his two doggy friends -- Rose and Lyle -- hit the slopes in Wrightwood, CA yesterday where they laid some serious tracks.

Oh yeah, Tillman also surfs.

Snowboarder Scotty Lago is gonna have to wait an extra day to receive the key to his hometown in New Hampshire ... but the delay has nothing to do with that racy photo that got him booted from Vancouver.

A parade for Lago was originally scheduled for this Saturday in Seabrook, NH -- but according to the parade coordinator, Shaylia Marquis, it had to be moved to Sunday because Lago is appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Friday in Los Angeles.

Marquis said the parade is set to go down at 1 PM, and will end with a private ceremony in which Scotty will be handed a key to the town.

San Diego Chargers star Vincent Jackson is going to jail -- after pleading guilty to a 2009 DUI charge.

Jackson -- who had a DUI on his record before the 2009 incident -- was sentenced to spend 96 hours in jail and five years probation.

The Pro-Bowler must also attend a Mothers Against Drunk Driving Class and pay a $2,408 fine.

Sluggerrr the Lion -- the mascot for the Kansas City Royals -- is accused of poking a fan's eye out with a steaming hot wiener during a Major League Baseball game last year ... and now the team is being sued over it.

It's all in a lawsuit filed in Jackson County, Missouri in which John Coomer claims he was just chillin' at a game on September 8, 2009 -- when Slugger "climbed atop the third base dugout and started shooting hotdogs into the stands from an air gun."

Coomer claims Slugger eventually put the air gun down -- and started firing off the wieners by hand ... when, according to the suit, things went horribly wrong.

In the docs, Coomer claims "Slugger lost control of his throw or was reckless with his throw, and threw the hotdog directly into the Plaintiff."

Coomer claims the dog hit him right in his left eye -- leaving him with a detached retina and the development of cataracts.

Coomer is now suing the Royals for more than $25k for negligence and battery -- claiming they "failed to adequately train its agents ... in the proper method in which to throw hotdogs into the stands at Kauffman Stadium."

As we first reported, Larry's speeding Cadillac Escalade was repeatedly captured by police cameras in Arizona -- four times in August '09 and once in November of '09... but the only ticket that could theoretically stick was the one written in November ... because that's the only one with a black guy behind the wheel.

Maricopa County court officials tell TMZ all five tickets have been dismissed -- which means Larry even dodged the November bullet.

In a truly scary moment during the Elimination Chamber event in St. Louis, some rogue pyrotechnics went off during The Undertaker's entrance -- and the WWE star was caught in the middle of a giant fireball.

But instead of doing the stop, drop and roll, the wrestler shook it off, threw his jacket to the floor and entered the ring.

We're told he was checked by medics before his match -- and his only injury was comparable to a sunburn on his chest.

Lago offered up an apology after a mildly suggestive photo of him -- using his bronze medal for snowboarding to score chicks -- popped up on the Internet. He agreed to leave the Olympic Village on his own accord, but sources close to Lago tell TMZ he received an ultimatum from the U.S. Olympic Committee: either say you're sorry and go ... or get ejected from the Olympic Village.

As for when we might hear from Lago himself ... we're told he's in a "blackout period" -- meaning he can't talk about the incident at all until March 3.

According to cops in Saugus, Massachusetts, the teenager claimed it all started when he approached Orton for a photograph while in the parking lot of a local restaurant.

The kid told cops Orton suddenly became enraged, spit gum in his face and then called him a nasty name -- and when the kid's mother approached Orton about it, he allegedly told her "so sue me."

According to documents filed yesterday in District Court in Massachusetts, there was "no probable cause found" to charge Orton with a crime.

Scotty apologized to the U.S. Olympic Committee and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association after we posted the photo -- taken on a public street with a crowd of people watching -- before volunteering to go home.

-- Tiger described his behavior as "irresponsible and selfish."

-- "I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated."

-- "I have bitterly disappointed all of you ... I am so sorry."

-- "I thought I could get away with anything I wanted to ... I thought I was entitled ... I don't get to play by different rules."

-- "As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words; it will come from my behavior over time."

-- "I ask you to find room in your heart to one day believe in me again."

-- "I do plan to return to golf one day, but I don't know when that will be."

-- "Starting tomorrow, I will leave for more treatment and more therapy."

-- "Parents used to point to me as a role model for their kids. I owe all those families a special apology."

-- Tiger Woods says he wants to get back to his Buddhist roots.

-- "I have bitterly disappointed all of you ... I am so sorry."

-- About the paparazzi: "Leave my wife and kids alone."

-- Tiger said he has never used performance enhancing drugs.

-- "Elin didn't hit me that night or any other night ... Elin deserves praise, not blame."

-- Tiger apologized to the people who work for him and his foundation.

-- Tiger Woods hugged his mom and went down the line hugging each person in attendance.

-- Among the people in attendance: Tiger Woods' mom, longtime friend Bryon Bell, and PGA Tour commish Tim Finchem.

One of the biggest crisis managers in America says Tiger Woods' address was a great 5 minute speech ... problem is it lasted 13 minutes.

Michael Sitrick, who has repped Rush Limbaugh, Paris Hilton and lots of other celebs in crisis, thinks, "There were good points in the speech but you had to wade through so much to pick them out."

Sitrick thought the most effective moment for Tiger was when he hugged his mom, which Sitrick says, "showed a genuine, human side."

Uber-publicist Howard Bragman -- who repped Isaiah Washington during his ordeal -- tells TMZ, "He didn't forget to apologize to anyone. Today was Yom Kippur for Tiger!"

A rep from Nike tells TMZ, "Tiger has apologized and made his position clear. Nike fully supports him and his family. We look forward to him returning to golf."

PGA great Brad Faxon went on the Dennis and Callahan radio show this morning and said, "I know Michael Jordan's going to be there. I know Elin is not going to be there."

MJ and Tiger are famously close -- Jordan has been described as a mentor to Woods.

Faxon -- who shared a spot with Tiger on the 1997 championship Ryder Cup team added, "I think Tiger really wants some friends there. That's why this thing is really a mystery to me."

We'll see if he's right in about 90 minutes.

UPDATE: Jordan's rep told ESPN that MJ "will not be in the room."

This was the scene yesterday about an hour before Tiger hit the green for his second staged photo shoot -- Tiger's golf cart was spotted pulling into his driveway from above.

We're pretty sure that's Tiger in the white hat.

The man in the blue shirt is Corey Carroll -- a 23-year-old avid golfer who Tiger plucked from obscurity to mentor several years ago.

Carroll -- who hails from Windermere, Florida, right near Tiger's home -- met the golf legend when he was 17 ... and they've been training partners ever since.

The two didn't just start jogging together for the posed photo -- according to an interview Carroll gave back in 2007, they practice and work out together nearly every day.
