The Drive:
      This Lebron talk has me somewhere between bored and what an ole’ friend of mine used to call “Vomitose”...which in our vocab was…“about to vomit”..“sick in the boiler..”...etc. First of all, I have a hard time believing anybody is worth 100 million bucks who isn’t saving the lives of sick children or improving the drinking water of an entire nation, or preventing a holocaust, or saving us all from a terrorist strike. You get the picture. NBA basketball isn’t even really exciting to me. I’m a believer in free market capitalism, so if the market bears that kind of money..than so be it….but I just don’t get it.  I do believe Wade will play for Chicago and probably win titles while Lebron will stay in Cleveland and never win a thing.

  The Fairway:
      The Tour is back at it again, and Lance is going for number 8, trying to defy his 38 year old body. If anybody can, he can. That said, I’ve heard enough out of Floyd Landis. That blowhard needs to shut it unless he has some hard evidence on Lance. This I’m mad so I’m gonna try to bring everybody down attitude gets old. Take ownership of your own situation and deal with it. Enough already.

  The Green:
      This crazy octopus named Paul has correctly picked every Germany soccer match in the World Cup. This time around…he’s picked Spain OVER Germany…...uh oh. Does that mean he ends up on the sushi plate?  Anyway, I picked against him and took Argentina. Bad idea.  I happen to think he’s right this time..and the Netherlands probably should win it. I say “should”. I’m not picking anymore. Lose to an Octopus, and your confidence is broken.

  The Jar:
      Good luck to Blacksburg HS product Courtney Ellenbogen as she heads to the US Women’s Open this week back in my home state of Pennsylvania. Oakmont can be a bear, hopefully she turns it into a teddy.
