sports on sunday

there was nothing wrong with Tiger Woods not winning the 2007 US Open. the Oakmont golf course was an undulating, unforgiving course. he's not living in the roger federer world where he can win every tournament. golf is more in-depth when it comes to the competition. one not so well-known with a round of his life could steal a major sunday. it's 18 holes. aaron baddeley faded awkwardly in the first hole and he was leading after 54 holes. tiger was in contention until the cruel 18th. he played the final group as well at the masters. winning a major golf competition is not basic child's play, obviously. for some people it's just a one-off. nothing wrong with that. for every tiger and for every phil mickelson, there's a ben curtis, there's a todd hamilton.

angel cabrera was not born a kennedy or a member of argentina's wealthiest. who wouldn't deny a former caddie the father's day trophy of golf? i always see cabrera as the grinding paunch for years because he was always visible in the majors then throw it all away with one shot. but now he's a major champion. well done.

let's forget about beckham and real madrid. so from these days onwards, posh spice will constantly splash her size zero figure on E!? oh, to be a spice girl. now for that one sprinkle of british sports accomplishment --- lewis hamilton won indianapolis ( my hubby was watching formula 1 -- well, well, wonders never cease). hamilton's is not actually rags to riches story like cabrera's but close. his dad, who looks youthful on TV, had to work three jobs in order to subsidize his son's racing career. as the world of car racing is forever synonymous with posh boys, it's wonderful to see someone from the working class doing magnificently well. beat that daily mail, lewis hamilton is black.

i was able to brush up my nba vocabulary during game 4 of the finals also on sunday. i could only watch the recorded version to rush through the adverts and analyses. that match-up didn't require rocket science punditry. first, i saw too much make-up on eva longoria. i reckon she's prettier with less. second, lebron james looks thirty or 32. he's 22. third, i got acquainted with a player named anderson varejao. then one of the most handsome men alive, robert horry had just won seven championship rings. i might watch more nba games next season. or not. if kobe wants a trade, give it to him. i would just utter the proverbial latin phrase for the ungratefuls. quo vadis, kobe bryant (photos-- si.com; yahoo.com).
