French Open!

The winner of the 2009 French Open is Roger Federer. And this just so happens to be Federer’s first French Open trophy. He also ties Pete Sampras with a record of 14 major singles titles. I think Federer as a few good years left, so he might end up being the winnest major singles champion ever. But then again he might never win another singles major again. Oh, he’s also the sixth man to complete a career Grand Slam, which is a very hard thing to achieve. If he where to retire today he just might be considered the best to ever play the game, what a day this is for Federer.

Sad Day For Golf!

Just today it was announced that golf pro Phil Mickelson’s wife Amy has breast cancer. Phil and Amy have 3 little girls, all under the age of 10. Phil and Amy are the most well known couple in golf. Phil is the number 2 golf player in the world. And Phil has now made the choice to leave the PGA Tour to fight this cancer with his wife. This just shows the world what a guy Phil is, which I already knew. Phil Mickelson has always put his family first, that’s why he’s my number one golf player. And I know for a fact that people route for him because of who he is, not how he plays.

I have read the over the next few weeks Amy, who is 37 years old will begin with major surgery. Amy is a very upbeat person, and I’m sure she will win this fight. I hope for the best for Amy and her family.

One Bad Move!

One of the worst things you can do as a new head coach is try to trade your star quarterback. That’s what Josh McDaniels did when he tried to trade Jay Cutler for New England quarterback Matt Cassel. It’s not like there’s anything wrong with Jay Cutler. He still has many great years ahead of him if he remains healthy. Most people think that McDaniels wanted Matt Cassel because he worked with him last year in New England. Anyway, Jay Cutler has requested a trade all because McDaniels tried to trade him off. If I where a Denver Broncos fan I would call for McDaniels to be terminated. I feel if McDaniels remains the head coach the Broncos won’t see Cutler play on their team again. Well, I guess it depends if Cutler wants to get fined everyday because of contracts. Cutler did however say he would make every mandatory meeting and training camp in respect to his team mates. McDaniels did a really bad move for the Broncos team. But McDaniels might not be the only one to blame. The fans should also blame the owners and the Broncos GM Brian Xanders. After all McDaniels can only make the recommendation, the GM and owners make the trade.

New Team Looking Good!

With another great finish last week Tony Stewart “Smoke” is holding 8th in the chase for the cup. As most of you know Tony is now an owner/driver, which at times could be hard. Any new team that involves an owner/driver deal starts slow. But that’s not the case with Tony, he’s off to a great start. Most people thought it would take a few years to see Tony rebuild this team. There’s a reason why Tony is my favorite driver, and that reason is because he works hard and wants to win. Most of you already now Tony left a great job racing for Joe Gibbs Racing in the number 20 car. But now he’s racing the number 14 car - selling office furniture, joking of course. I sure hope he keeps up and moves up in the standings. This would show any new race teams coming in NASCAR that a lot of money isn’t needed, just a great driver.
