Hall of fame weekend!
It was so great to finally have some football on this weekend, but that wasn't the only thing that was taking place. I think that it says alot about me that a pre-season game was my number one sporting priority this weekend but the sad truth is that I am a football fan first and a sports fan second. But not to worry sports fans I have a full array of sports knowledge to display tonight!
The first headline of Sunday is Tiger winning again. Tiger Woods earned his 70th PGA tour title, with his seventh win at the WGC-Bridgestone. Tiger overcame a 3 stroke lead in the first four holes, then went on to cement his win with a hell of a shot on 16. Although Tiger has yet to capture a Major this year, he seems to be not only the most skilled player on the tour, but he is regaining his mental dominance over the other players. Padraig Harrington all but cried when he fell apart on the 16th hole. Tiger might be the most dominate player ever in any sport. Now, golf needs him to win a major this year.
Our next headline is the greatest rivalry in sports. Boston and New york ended a four game series tonight, that the Yankees swept. Despite the four game sweep this was one of the best series I have seen between these two games. Including a 15 inning game in which A-Rod won with a walk-off home run. This series could not even be overshadowed by the Big Papi steroid non-sense. I am not a huge fan of either one of these teams but the series is intoxicating. I am happy to say that the Rangers have now moved into a tie with Boston for a lead in the wild card.
Now for the pre-season football game that ended a great Hall of Fame weekend. There were some very emotional moments at the ceremony, as the late Derrick Thomas, and the late Bob Hayes were inducted. The game itself was like any other pre-season game. Although I couldn't help but realize how disinterested Vince Young looked while playing tonight. It is sad to see a phenomenal talent go to waste over apathy, and a lack of mental toughness. It was also good to hear Tony Dungy speaking on Michael Vick and his process to better himself. I am just really excited that the football season is finally getting started. Oh yeah and Terrell Owens was there.
Finally I have some clarifications to make on a conversation I had with another sports fan two days ago. I am taking it easier on Josh Hamilton than I am on other sports stars who put themselves in dumb situations. Hamilton is a long and admittedly tough battle with sobriety, and I will never trash a man who is attempting to better himself. The pictures that surfaced recently are to be discussed between him, his wife, and his sobriety sponsor, and are really none of our business. I hope that he wins his battle with addiction, but i refuse to challenge him to it!
Well that is what I saw this weekend. It was a full weekend of sports and I am sure I missed something. If I did call me out on it in an email and I'll try to throw it in. Live like no one is watching, and start your own Hall of Fame..
