In the last week of sports, we've had a lot going on. We've had the NCAA Men's and Women's Final Four, bounties appealed (and appeals rejected), college football coaches cheating on their wives and local phenomenons winning golf majors. So here's just a few tidbits for tonight.
First of all, full marks to Kentucky for winning the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. You'll probably see most of those players in the NBA and that was one heck of a collection of talent. I did find it interesting that there were rumors in the days after the game that Kentucky coach John Calipari is looking to go to the NBA himself. I wonder if he knows the NCAA is going to come snooping around his program...
Speaking of SEC coaches, how about Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino getting in a bicycle wreck...and doing it with a girl he works with in the Razorback athletic department...while he's married? Let me tell you something, that guy has a morals clause in his contract and if Arkansas decides they want to implement that morals clause, Petrino's in hot water...
So the New Orleans Saints hierarchy tried to get their suspensions appealed, and to no one's surprise those appeals were promptly rebuked. Let me tell you this, these guys were lucky those suspensions weren't doubled after the audio that came out over the weekend of Gregg Williams giving a speech to his team before the NFC Divisional Playoffs...a speech which implored his team to target injured 49ers players. I almost think Goodell should have doubled those suspensions.
Full respect to Bubba Watson for winning the Masters this past weekend, on an incredible shot at that. I'm not so quick to crown him the next big thing in golf, but that was a great win. That tournament had a decisively local feel to it as former Georgia Tech standout Matt Kuchar was in the tournament until the end as well.
