I'm Back...And Things Are Already Going Badly

So I returned from my two-week French adventure to the good ol' United States of America and already things are going badly.


First, freakin' Tiger Woods has to go all legendary on us, twice birdieing the final hole (first during the final round and then during the 18-hole playoff) to win the US Open at Torrey Pines against all-around good guy Rocco Mediate.

Fine, this puts a stake in my claim that Roger Federer > Tiger Woods but c'mon, all that limping and grimacing on that surgically repaired knee? Give the theatrics a rest Tiger!


Then, after the Boston Celtics came all the way back to tie things up in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, bloody Kobe Bryant makes a great play in stealing the ball from Paul Pierce, thereby sealing the game for the Los Angeles Lakers. Great, now the series shifts back to Boston where we know how well Kevin Garnett performs under pressure (that is, not at all).


And, finally, after thrashing the competition during the Kitply Cup, India gets beaten thoroughly beaten by arch-rival Pakistan when it matters most, in the final.

Great, just bloody great.

After a wonderful sojourn in France when everything seemed right with the world, it all seems to be going horribly, horribly wrong now.

That was a foul on Pierce man, No ball, all man.

P.S I love Fed, hate Tiger, but there is no argument
