Weekend Roundup

Tiger Closes It Out Early on Sunday, Goes Home to Watch "Stripes" on Cable - Woods cruised to an 8 & 7 victory over Stewart Cink in their 36 hole match for the WGA Match Play Championship. This was after Tiger was almost beaten in round one and almost beaten in round three, then destroyed the competition on the weekend, leaving NBC with two hours of empty air time on Sunday afternoon. Woods passed Arnold Palmer on the all-time wins list. Tiger may have more wins than Palmer, and might be a better golfer in the end, but Woods still doesn't have a delicious summer drink named after him. Yet.

Tennessee Beats Memphis, ESPN Writers Befuddled - The Volunteers ended Memphis's run at an undefeated season, much to the chagrin of all ESPN employees, who now have nothing to show mindless graphics and montages of the other "great undefeated seasons." Sometimes I think that halfway through Sportscenter when they are done showing all of the highlights and analyzing everything, they should just show a monkey on a unicycle for the last ten minutes. Will he fall or won't he? Will he throw his feces at the wall? Stay tuned!

James Gang Gets New Look - The new look Cavaliers took the court yesterday and had a convincing win over the (yawn) Grizzlies. It looks as though the Bulls might be benefitting from this deal, too, trying to mount some sort of a run towards the postseason. As for the Sonics, next year will be their chance to make a move into the thick of the Western Conference, where getting to the playoffs is harder than it sounds.
