Who is Trevor Immelman?
Woods said, "I just didn't quite have it this weekend." The wind gusts of 35 mph may also done Woods in. The flags at Augusta National golf course were standing straight out from their flag sticks. Woods normally known for his good putting, just could not find his way on the green. It was like someone had taken his putter and replaced it with a defective one.
At the start of the final round Woods was six shots back with a score of five under par and had the perfect opportunity to overtake four guys, who all never had sniffed a taste of a championship.
The main reason that Immelaman won was mainly because he was able to make his putts unlike Woods.
NHL PLAYOFFS
Martin Brodeur, who is the Devils goalie said, "They are differently taking control of the series, so far they have gotten the bounces, we just need to do what they did to us and beat them in there place."
Game three is going to played Sunday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Devils face a tall task, because the Rangers have never lost a playoffs series in which they led two games to none. Devils captain Jamie Langenbrunner said, "Obviously we don't want to go down three games to none. We have to throw it all out there."
Heidi game revisted
Many viewers in the New York/Boston area could give two tail about Nascar, it is always about the Yankees/ Red Sox.
Unfortunately for Yankees this was not much like the Heidi game where almost 40 years ago when NBC cut away from the last 1:05 of a New York Jets-Oakland Raiders football game to begin showing the movie, "Heidi". What football fans never saw is the miraculous comeback by Raiders, who scored two touchdowns in the last 42 seconds to defeat the Jets, 43-32. This angered many football fans.
The Yankees were not able to pull off a comeback like the Raiders, but what if they did. What if it was a miraculous comeback it would be talked and dissected on every sports show.
In Boston it is baseball 24/7/365 people live and die by the Red Sox and especially when they play the hated rivals the Evil Empire-The New York Yankees. Nascar is mostly popular in the south not the north, so what Fox should have done is left the Yankees/Red Sox game on in New York and in Boston, and in every other state cut over to Nascar's race.
The Weekend
Besides March Madness in College basketball, not many people get exited about other sports for a while till several things happen, the NHL playoffs, Yankees-Red Sox, and the Masters in Augusta, GA. In one early weekend in April all these sporting events will take place.
First, you have an early season match up between The New York Yankees visiting the The World Series Champions The Boston Red Sox on Friday night. Mike Francesca who is a radio host of the WFAN'S Mike and the Mad dog, said, "It is way too early for these teams to play, we should wait two months for them to play, so there is some sort of build up." It make not have the same feel, because several players are going to absent due to injuries and the pitching rotation, Derek Jeter-quad injury, Mike Lowell-sprained thumb, and Andy Pettitte, who pitched in last night's Yankees game.
Second, The NHL playoffs, possible MVP winner Alex Ovechkin gets set to start in his first career playoff game against the Philadelphia Flyers. You also have the fiercest rivalry in hockey, The New York Rangers vs The New Jersey Devils who face-off in game 2 of there playoffs series. The Rangers won game one 4-1, with a stellar performance from Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, who stopped 26 out of 27 from the Devils. During the regular season the Rangers won seven out of eight match ups against the Devils.
Last but not least we have The Masters in Golf in Augusta, GA. Tiger Woods who maybe the best Golfer ever to play the game tries to continue his hot streak of winning major championships.

uggs and spandex
Another thing I cant stand is how does spandex make a girl look good. You walk down College Avenue and probably eight out of 10 girls are wearing spandex. Did a girl just get lazy and just throw it on and not care how she looked in them.
I do not think you should be caught wearing either one of these things.
