The top story is Tiger Woods’s return to the PGA Tour, and a first round win in match play.
In baseball news, Alex Rodriguez homered in the Yankees spring training opener. A-Rod needs a good season to quiet down his critics. and hopefully erase the memory of past mistakes he has made. We all know by now, what those are.
The Red Sox also opened spring training by beating Boston College 6-1. This must be thrilling for the college teams participating in these games.
The Minnesota Twins beat Boston in a split squad game in Fort Myers Florida on Feb 25th to open spring ball.
In the NBA , Stephon Marbury was bought out of his contract by the Knicks, which frees Marbury to negociate with the Celtic’s. This good be good news for Laker fans if indeed , Marbury is the cancer many feel he is.

Final FOUR, Pittsburgh,UConn, Oklahoma and Noth Carolina.
Memphis, Louisville, Mich State, and Marquette are all pretty good , and could knock off one of the big boys. And, of course Duke, may get lucky!
The big names in the sports world had their moments too.
Charles Barkley will spend 5 days in jail, pay over 2000 dollars in fines and have to attend alcohol classes.
I applaud Sir Charles for manning up , pleading guilty , and assuming responsibility for a huge mistake in judgment.
Marvin Harrison was released by Indy this week. He would fit nicely in the Eagles scheme of things, i bet.
Donovan Mcnabb is waiting to sign his contract extension in an effort to get Andt Reid and the GM to step up and help the offense.
And finally in Nascar , Matt Kenseth won his second race in a row in California this weekend. I watched the entire race aLmost before dozing off. My local television stations all converted to digital, and my converer box is not working yet. All i get is Fox. Have a great end of Feb, Talk to ya soon. Thomas
