Lets start with Tiger. He's the man. What else is there to say? He comes from 4 back yesterday to win the Memorial and is now everyone's consensus pick to win the U.S. Open (first round begins a week from Thursday). I gotta give Woods credit, even though I'm not one of his biggest fans. He's got that killer closing instinct that Michael Jordan and so many other great athletes have had throughout history.
The other big story of the weekend was Roger Federer winning the French Open for the first time. He now has 14 grand slam titles, which is tied with Pete Sampras for the most all-time. I was happy to see Roger win, even though his arch nemesis Rafael Nadal wasn't standing across the court in the final (mad props to Robin Soderling for making it to the final and disposing of Nadal along the way). Federer's window of opportunity to be one of the top two tennis players in the world is closing (he's not getting any younger), so it felt good to see him capture a title that had evaded him for so long. Not to mention he had to deal with this wack-job running onto the court midway through the match.
Here are some other tid-bits floating around inside my brain that I may update on in the coming days:
-Brett Favre won't go away
-I have watched a total of 45 seconds of the NBA finals
-The Pittsburgh Penguins have me on a roller coaster of emotion that may or may not crash and burn tomorrow night.
-I'm working on a new song entitled "Where have you gone, David Ortiz? A lonely (Sox) nation turns its eyes to you."
Thats all for now. Stay tuned.
