The TV ratings were already in the toilet with Tiger Woods involved. With golf’s second biggest draw done for the weekend, this could go down as the lowest watched Masters tournament in decades.
9. Grady Sizemore
Rocks C.C. Sabathia, Leads Red Sox Victory
Granted
it’s a small sample size, but Sizemore’s improbable comeback this season has been one
of the underreported stories in MLB. He took full advantage of C.C. Sabathia’s
diminishing fastball velocity Friday night.
8. New York Knicks Eliminated From Playoff Contention
The best part of New York’s comically disappointing
2013-14 campaign is that their first round pick is being shipped to Denver.
Even with Phil Jackson in charge, there should be legitimate concerns that
Carmelo Anthony is going to bolt for another team.7. Milwaukee Brewers Win Ninth Straight
Hacking at the first pitch at a rate higher than any other club in baseball, the Brewers should be the official MLB team of the A.D.D. generation.
6. Chase Elliott Wins Second Straight Nationwide Race
Instead of attending his Senior Prom, Elliott instead decided to win at the hardest track
on the NASCAR circuit in his first trip there. There isn’t a more talented
prodigy in any sport than the son of Bill Elliott.5. Bruins Clinch Presidents Cup
That’s not necessarily a good thing, as the recent Stanley Cup Playoff success of the league’s overall top regular season team isn’t that great. Boston begins their Stanley Cup march on Friday against Detroit.
4. Kevin Harvick Dominates Darlington
Harvick is the poster child of NASCAR’s new win or
go home scoring system. He’s not even in the top-20 in most points scored, but
his two wins would have him seeded first if The Chase started
today. 3. Paul Pierce Joins 25,000 Point Club
The future Hall of Famer joins seventeen others in NBA history to reach this milestone. Big props to the former captain of the Celtics.
2. Pacers Regain Control of Eastern Conference
I had a whole paragraph written mourning the inevitability of Miami making it to a fourth straight NBA Finals after stomping all over Indiana Friday night, but then an improbable series unfolded the next two days. A physically spent Heat club (even Lebron looked sort of human Saturday) lost to the Hawks, and then Indiana pulled off their biggest win of the year so far against Oklahoma City.
1. Bubba Watson Claims Second Masters Title
Bubba’s ridiculous 366-yard drive on 13
felt like the moment where any chance another golfer had was gone. On a weekend
with no Tiger and no Phil, this is the best result the PGA could’ve hoped for.
