Golf, Basketball, and Football

There has been alot of talk lately in the sports world after the Masters were played.  Tiger Woods seems to be the guy on everyones mind.  You hear more about Tiger than Trevor Immelman, the guy that won the Masters.  Tiger was hoping to win the Masters and try for the Grand Slam in golf this year.  For a long time he seemed to be unbeatable, a machine that no one could stop.  And everyone was excited to see how he would unravel a remarkable comeback to win the Masters.  Even though he didn't win he placed second.  People seemed upset about the outcome because of the great athlete and role model that Tiger is to everyone.  He does deserve praise for his good work but I think people need to focus on Trevor the real champion of the Masters because he did beat everyone else out to eventually wear the green jacket.

The NBA playoffs are around the corner and I'm excited to see what will happen.  You have the West conference where all the teams are very talented and for now the Lakers are on top and the rest are close in games won and lost.  There will be alot of fight to determine who goes to the finals.  In the Eastern conference you have the Celtics on top and they are far from the Pistons in second.  I can't wait to see the outcome of this years NBA playoffs.

The NFL draft is just around the corner and its always exciting to see where the college stars end up going.  The draft to me is all about the 1st and 2nd round and then you can find out later what happened in the other rounds.  It can seem pretty boring, but the beginning of the draft is when all of the drama unfolds.  Being the Bengals fan that I am I hope the coaches play it smart and start building up our defense.  Alot of the mock drafts had the Bengals taking Rashard Mendenhall and they would be really dumb if they did that, we need D.  Guess we'll see soon what they decided to do.

I could not agree with you more on the Tiger/Trevor deal. Though I appreciate Tiger for his namesake (haha, I apologize), Trevor did win the thing and deserves the attention. Its always sad when the true winner gets overshadowed by celebrity.
