I really don't understand the thinking of some of our golf and tennis superstars that retire so young with so much still left in there future. Brian
OH MY, DID WE REALLY NEED TO SEE THIS?

The Davis Cup Doesn't Get The Respect It Deserves!
Monday 04-14-2008 4:43pm ET
It was a great weekend in Winston Salem as the U.S. beat France 4-1 to advance to the semifinals against Spain in September. So much of the coverage of this event gets buried on the back of the sports pages and it's a shame. On the national scene tennis doesn't get the coverage because of Football, Basketball, Baseball, Nascar and other sports that we have here in America, but internationally tennis is second to only soccer in popularity. The French media outnumbered the US media in our own country down in Winston! This event is like the Olympics, and it brings out the best tennis players in the world that are not playing for money, but for their country. You get cold chills at the introduction of our team, the national anthem and the music and fireworks. I am proud of this Davis Cup team that has been together longer than any team in the long tradition of U.S. Davis Cup. They brought the Cup back to the U.S. last year, beat Austria in February and France over the weekend, and will fight together on the red clay in Spain as the underdogs. I'll be watching and you should too, for them and for our country. Go USA! Brian

MIKE'S NCAA TITLE GAME THOUGHTS
Monday 04-07-2008 7:12pm ET
Okay, so I'm not real good at this picking stuff, (examples: Tiger will win every tourney, Hendrick Motorsports will win every race or how bout NC State finishing in the top 4 of the ACC) and once again I didn't disappoint by picking a UNC/UCLA title game! What happened to the Heels Saturday night!!! Memphis is really that good!!! Now we have a Kansas/Memphis final that could set all kinds of offensive records. I'm expecting a final score in the 90's, which means with my track record, it's going to 50-49! I'm not a big Calipari fan, but I love the way his Tigers play ball, the dribble-drive offensive attack This reminds me of school yard ball, not alot of offensive sets, just get the ball down the floor, go to the rack or kick it out for 3! Kansas has the guards to slow down Memphis, plus they have the four-headed big man inside so they have alot of fouls to give. The Jayhawks play great defense and have a good offense, while Memphis is very explosive on offense and lookie here, they're making some free throws! My pick, even though I'm pulling for Kansas, is Memphis winning, 91-84. So go out and put your money on Kansas!
Thoughts heading into the Final Four

Mike has UNC winning the whole thing against UCLA and I like UCLA to beat Kansas on Monday night. I just think that the defense that UCLA plays will pay off in the end. I will be shocked if the Kansas team that was playing "not to lose" against Davidson, shows up against UNC. The Jayhawks looked like an NBA team against Michigan State last Friday, if that team shows up Saturday night, they will beat Carolina. Although, having seen UNC in person several times this year, they have all the components of a national championship team and Hansbrough is playing like his normal "man possessed" self, can he alone carry the Heels? No, but I fear a bad"dome" shooting night for Green and Ellington. UNC has yet to play outside NC and yet to play in a dome, the three other teams have, I think that's an advantage.
