Jonjo Shelvey England Jersey . Last year, Matt Kuchar closed with a 4-under 68 to beat Kevin Chappell by two strokes for
his second win of the 2013 season and sixth of his career.
Raheem Sterling Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.6. Do you dislike baseballs replay system? If so, just remember that every bad
umpires call that is overturned would otherwise stand.7. Can we stop wondering
when Tiger Woods is returning to the PGA tour? If his answer to that question is
"I dont know", why would anyone else hazard a guess? 8. Trevor Linden fired John
Tortorella. Ron Francis fired Kirk Muller. New bosses fire inherited coaches.
Brendan Shanahan is a new boss. Do you need the question?9. Is anyone else
looking forward to the NFL draft so we dont have to look forward to the NFL
draft any longer? But I do like to say Jadeveon Clowneys name.10. Who are you
most interested to see in an NFL uniform - Clowney or Johnny Manziel? And are
you ready for the hype if Clowney is rushing the passer and the passer is
Manziel?11. Even if you dont follow horse racing otherwise, how can you know the
story of California Chromes owner and trainer and then watch them celebrate
their Kentucky Derby win without wanting to buy your own horse for a few
thousand dollars?12. If you werent an NBA fan, but you became a Raptors fan
during the past two weeks, will you continue to watch the NBA playoffs? This is
the true test for those who hope the Raptors have sold basketball to Canada.13.
Speaking of what follows in those NBA playoffs, because the Brooklyn Nets swept
the Miami Heat during the season and were swept by both Washington and Indiana,
does it follow that Brooklyn has a better chance of beating Miami than the team
they would play in the NBA East finals? No.14. When Bruce Arthur lambasted the
IOC with his TSN/Reporters "thumb" on Sunday and said the lords of the Olympic
rings should not "blame it on Rio", did you immediately think of Demi Moore as I
did? Hey! Back then .
Chris Smalling Jersey. .. 15. Are you hearing as much about Toronto FC with its 3-4-0 record as you did when the record was
0-0-0?16. Should I mention the Vancouver Whitecaps and Montreal Impact as well?
Of course, I should. So I looked up their records and theyre 3-2-4 and 1-4-3
respectively. And yes, I had to look up Torontos record. But I know that
Jermaine Defoes salary is $8 million. 17. Did you see the baseball stat of the
week? Last Saturday, Dee Gordon became the first player in the history of the
Dodgers to get five hits and steal three bases in one game? If you know a Dee
Gordon fantasy owner who benched him that day, take pity.18. Because the
Colorado Rockies lead the majors in runs scored and are close to the lead in
runs allowed, do you wonder why a free-agent hitter would want to play anywhere
but Coors Field, and why a free-agent pitcher would choose Colorado? (Please
dont reference the marijuana laws).19. Do you know anyone who predicted that the
Pittsburgh Penguins would be two wins away from the NHL East final with one goal
from Sidney Crosby? (Okay, this would have been a better question if Crosby
hadnt scored on Monday). 20. And finally ... to mark Carey Prices ordeal away
from the rink, might they play "Who Let The Dogs Out?" at the Bell Centre? Or is
that a bad idea even when theres a good reason for it?
