Not just TV, but I listen to the radio, too. I listened to golf on the radio at about 7 pm yesterday. 620 AM out of Syracuse had the end of the Masters going. Golf on the radio is hard to follow. Apparently there is a tradition and a guy playing lounge piano involved.
- A guy from South Africa won the Masters. Good for him. He broke his major duck. Sadly, it was all nice-nice. Long gone are the days of Tom Kite blaming all around him for the failings of his game. That always was fun watching his thin veneer fade as things went wonky. No sniping from the crowd either like when Woosey won in 1991.
- The Sox took 2 of 3 with Wang beating them on a four pitch complete game Friday. Big Papi is having a hard time of it. Pray for Big Papi.
- Curling is over for another year. Thanks God. Now I can get some work done at the office. Curling this. Curling that.
- The Morton have not yet made their big move to get out of the relegation zone. Arsenal lost, too, with our correspondent noting both Man U goals coming off cheesy set pieces.
- I watched twelve minutes of NASCAR and learned of its proud moonshine connections.
- I didn't watch much hockey. The correct teams seem to be winning. I want a Montreal v. Rangers series and a Detroit victory over the Rangers in the finals and that seems to be on track. Ottawa is looking like it will be four losses and then summer. Did I pick Calgary in the pool? No I didn't.

On Friday night, Fox 29 (on channel 28!) changed from the NYY/Sox game, 9th inning, NYY at bat, 2-out, 3-2 count to cut to the NASCAR race _in progress_. Wild.

Cheesy set pieces.....ahem..
Owen's goal at least was nothing short of amazing and I do remember Henry making a lot of quick (perfectly legal) penalty kicks over the past years that could have been viewed as not on the up and up as per traditional rules re: Pen Kicks, but were touted as spectacular by Arse fans.
It was nothing but pure joy to see the big jerk Arse keeper and his compadres making up the wall just stand, watch eth ball fly into the net, and then drop their heads in defeat.

I actually watched the Sat NYY/Boston game (although I didn't survive the rain delay). Rare for me to watch a ballgame. My nephew (8) is a huge Sox fan and it was fun watching it with the boys.
ManU/Arse was pretty entertaining, cheeky setpieces notwithstanding. Anderson seemed to have a big impact when he came on. I am just hoping the Toffees will hold off Pompey for 5th spot (UEFA Cup); I wasn't expecting a 4th at all. Nope.
