A new addition to the weekly articles will be Sports Random, which is my short take on the hot issues going on in sports for that week. In this inaugural article of sports random is my take on: The Masters, MLB season opening up, and the Eagle trade of QB Donovan Mcnabb
The Masters, is by far golf version of the Super bowl, it tees off this week on Thursday. Unlike any other Masters tournament, this one will not only be a huge one for weekly viewers of golf, but also for the ones who just watch the sport when Tiger woods playing. And on Thursday Tiger Woods is back in action since taking a break and trying to make things work in his personal family life. I personally believe that all of the outside factors will be a non-factor, and I look forward to seeing Tiger Woods being honored in winning and wearing the green jacket come on Sunday.
Yesterday (Sunday) night, Major League Baseball opened it up its 162 game regular season with two games; the highlight game was the Red Soxs and Yankee game in Boston. Boston won the game, 9- 7 over the Yanks. However this World Series, the Yanks or the RedSoxs wont be representing either of the AL east or the American league for that matter. As my World Series prediction, is the San Francisco Giants representing the National League, and the Tampa Bay Rays representing the American league.
The Philly Eagles made a bold, and in my opinion a stupid move by trading away their aging, however yet still talented pro bowl QB Donovan Mcnabb to their archrival in the NFC east in the Washington Redskins. This trade makes as much sense, as if the Miami Dolphins had traded away Dan Marino to those silly Jets up in New York, towards the end of his HOF career. I look forward to the two meetings in which Donovan will get repay the favor to his now former team in Philly twice in one season.
Well that is it for this week,
RJ
