Remember at the end of a Seinfeld episode where Jerry is eating a bowl of cereal and the announcer says "And the Giants are going for it on 4th down! You've gotta love sports!"?
Probably no t- only people like me who watch the DVDs on a fairly regular basis remember that closing scene - but that's what popped into my head today flipping between the Arnold Palmer Classic at Bay Hill, the Illinois-Minnesota Big 10 semi and the Cubs/Sox spring training game...
first - it's so much fun to watch pro golfers play like us with sevens, snowmen, water balls....and now Tiger is back from 7 shots down to be in prime position to win his 5th straight tournament tomorrow.
second - i'm not a huge college hoops fan, but even I'm interested in the Big 10 tourney now. It doesnt matter if its Illinois or Minnesota, but the fact that either team has a shot to get into the Big Dance is exciting. "March Madness" is all about the underdog, so I'm rooting for 'em...
third - Opening day of the MLB season is just about two weeks away, meaning this is crunch time for players hoping to make the 25-man roster that comes north.
Finally - Make sure to check out Arnie's tournament on NBC tomorrow, beginning at 1:30 p.m. Trust me, you'll want to tell your grandkids you saw Tiger this year...
