A Few Things......From the Weekend....We Learned

Tiger Woods.....is the greatest golfer.....ever!


Seeing Mr. Woods limp around the U S Open on a bum knee Thursday, then Friday, then Saturday and Sunday..........and then Monday........and then win the darn thing in a sudden death play-off......Well, simply amazing! We are witnessing history. The grea
test golfer ever. It took 91 holes of golf to secure his 14th major, ( second only to the great Jack Nicklaus), to finally emerge as the winner in Torry Pines.


In my life time, I have never seen a golfer put himself in bad situations........only to make
miracle shots to get out of trouble. That's what separates Tiger.......from the field. He can turn a miss shot.....into a birdie.....or he saves par.

Tiger was pushed today. But as is with most champions.......he dug deep......f
rom within........and mustered just enough........to win.


This was Tiger's 61st tour win. At this pace, not withstanding injuries, he will simply obliterate the record books and rewrite golf history.






The NBA wanted a game six......


While, I am not one of those conspiracy fanatics who think there was more to the JFK assassination.....or we did not actually land a man on the moon..... Or that the NBA lottery drafts are fixed so the big market teams get the best players.....

I am kind of wondering. In last nights game 5, the Los Angeles Lakers streaked out to a big lead, only to have Boston come storming back........with a chance to win at the end. But....L A got all the calls in the final minutes.......I mean .....all the calls. It was as if the refs were making sure the L
akers would win to force a game six.


Boston is still the better team, and with the final two games to be played in Beantown, the series is still theirs to lose. The Lakers cannot win this series......Boston has to lose it.


My advice to Boston, "Beware of Hollywood.........They can create unusual endings. I'd .......be just a tad bit careful".


Boston ..........you have been warned.




Junior wins a race.......



Dale Earnhardt , Jr won a NASCAR race Sunday. He ended his 76 race winless streak, coasting to victory........literally.......on fumes at Michigan International Speedway.


NASCAR's most popular driver gave the folks what they've waited for. A victory with his new team, Hendrick Racing. And he did it on Father's Day........As we all remembered his fath
er, Dale Earnhardt, Sr..........the "Intiminater" ......of all intiminaters........Well done, Dale, Jr.






UGA......says, WTF...........


As an 8th seed in Omaha..........home of the NCAA college baseball world series.......the
Dawgs from Georgia were not fazed when playing the number 1 seeded Miami Hurricanes Saturday. Trailing 4-3 going into to 9th inning, the Dawgs scored 4 runs to stun the best team in the nation, 7-4.


To me ..........it's still the "ping" league........with the aluminum bats..........but this thing could get very interesting. Stay tuned .




I had a great Father's Day.......did you?

Signs of the times.........my mother and my daughter took me and my father out to dinner. And they both........picked up the tabs. How good is this? I was a proud papa.....and a happy son.

And the evening and the food.....and the atmosphere........could not have been better.......

It.......was ..........a very good weekend!
