Great Month or Two for Sports

World Cup kicked off back on June 9th and will go until July 9th. Of course it isn't a full month of soccer, it is 64 matches, but come June 27th they will start taking two days off between matches. Just so ya know this is watched world wide by billions of people with millions actually going to the matches.
NBA Playoffs have been going on for what seems like an eternity, but the Finals started back on June 8th, and it looks as though they may go to June 22nd. Small sidebar: I hate the format for the finals 2-3-2 gives the advatage to the "lesser" team in my opinion. If they can win all three of their home games all the momentum is with them heading back to the "greater"teams homecourt.
The US Open started today June 15th with a rough start for many of the top names. As a matter a fact I guess it was rough on the whole field with only Monty finishing under par at -1 (which is good, the lower the number the better the score). Also apparently Tiger is being followed by a few guys so they can blog about what he is doing on every hole.
Tomorrow the College World Series gets underway, unfortunately LSU will not be present, but two of my readers are represented in Omaha. Miami Hurricanes (Dup) & Georgia Bulldogs (BDP) are there so... yeah I'm so happy for you guys and your teams... yeah... whhhoorahh. Okay next topic.
And this one is a sad one, le Tour de France begins July 1st and goes 3657 kilometers or 2271 miles which comes to an end on July 23rd with only 2 rest days. The reason this is sad is because Lance Armstrong won't be racing after winning it with his team for the past 7 years. :'(

Well if you are a sports fan I hope this post got you pumped.
If you like hockey or regular season (post-season as far as that goes) baseball sorry I left you out but...
And Finally if you could care less about sports and have gotten this far in this post thank you for your time and I hope I shed some light on the world of sports for ya! :P

Well with a bum hip it had to come to an end. I think Andreas Kloeden has to be the favorite to win it at this stage.
