Wow. The WNBA has started their playoffs? Who knew they had even started a regular season, let alone completed it? Did you hear anything about it? Not me. No TV, nothing in the papers or on the Net in the last few months. How are we supposed to know these things? And that's the sad thing with the WNBA. Those girls make quite a name for themselves while in college, but once they graduate to the pros, it's as if they disappear. And the pay isn't all that great either. More in line with your average teacher, firefighter, beat cop, or plumber than with their NBA counterparts.
Pro soccer is back again already in the USA? Who knew? I thought they only played that every 4 years at the World Cup. These guys get about the same amount of exposure as the WNBA. But they make a whole lot more money.
And talk about goals getting players geeked up. I just saw a guy that plays for the X-Boxes, city unknown, that ran around the field sucking his thumb after scoring a goal. Well OK. Maybe that's understandable. Folks can get a bit carried away with such electronic amusement. I once knew a guy that would wet his pants every time he won a game of Pong. Finally, he grew up a little bit. If he you beat you at Pac-Man, he was able to control his bladder, but sadly had this thing about armpit farts to celebrate. Don't know what ever became of him. Maybe he's playing in an over 50 soccer league somewhere.
After his much ballyhooed return to his first major following surgery, Tiger Woods went from 3 shots back after the first round, to 14 shots back after the second, and is now 19 -- count em -- 19 behind going into the final round. Who knew he was going to stink it up this bad? Then again the leader, Rory McIlroy, continues to play lights out golf. His putting has been incredible. Yet entering the round, Tiger still thought he had a chance to win. Let's put it this way. If Tiger were to go out and shoot a course record 63, and Rory horribly stumbled all the way to an 80, Eldrick would still come up two shots short of catching him. Forget that. Ain't gonna happen. For that matter, if they both hold true to form in the final round, how far out of the lead might Tiger wind up? 25 strokes? 30? It's getting to the point of being embarrassing. Who knew it would ever come to this? Yikes.
What's that? The Israelis don't like the Arabs and vice versa? The Republicans and Democrats loathe each other? Fox despises MSNBC and the same back at them? This is out of control. Next thing ya know, Red Sox and Yankee fans won't get along. Who knew?
