Lakers, Rangers and Tiger ... oh my!

I'm in the mood for some quick, drive-by sports shorts!

Here we go ...

* Lakers win another NBA title ... Kobe's fourth ... his first without Shaq ... and Coach Phil Jackson's 10th, an NBA record. Still don't like Kobe.

* Rangers are still in first in AL West, but their lead is shrinking. Will they still be in first come Aug. 1st? I say ... no.

* U.S. Open is this week!!!! I love the majors!!!! Can Tiger (shown above) do it again? Will Phil successfully battle the distractions and be competitive? Will the course win, as it often does in the U.S. Open? If you love golf, you gotta love this tournament!!!!

* I'm a NASCAR fan who is just not that excited about NASCAR this year. Can't put my finger on it. Just not into it.

* Saw a brief film clip of Cowboys practicing. Already excited about the '09 season!

* How many of you watched the Penguins beat the Red Wings for the NHL's Stanley Cup? Let's see ... one, two ... that's what I thought.
