THOUGHTS FROM THE WEEK

By Jason Johnson
Posted 06/09/2007 at 07:22 PM

First, I'd like to thank coach Billy Donovan for returning to the University of Florida. You have now made the number one college basketball program in the country....the number one college basketball program in the country.

Secondly, thanks to Roger Clemens for finally getting on the mound in a major league game. Now we can stop watching minor league baseball pitch counts on ESPN.

Next, a quick thank you goes to LaBron James for bringing the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals. While James gives us a reason to watch, he's about the only reason since this series will probably be over before you even realize it started.

Congrats to the Ducks who brought the Stanley Cup home to Southern California. It's too bad Disney can't find a good movie plot for this. 

This weeks dumb move goes to Phil Mickelson. Mickelson practiced chipping out of the rough at Oakmont Country Club so much that he actually hurt his wrist and had to withdraw from this weeks tournament. This is the second dumbest thing Mickelson has done in the past year and comes around the same time as his dumbest, the meltdown at Winged Foot.

Staying with golf, the award for most conceded player goes to Michelle Wie. Despite the fact that I have scored lower in my past 50 rounds than Wie has scored in her last two, Wie still seems to think she is the biggest thing in golf. This little girl is about to get a rude awakening.

And more golf, John Daly (who is anything but the golf angel) was attacked this week by his wife. What's more amazing than Daly getting cut by a knife this week is that he actually made a cut in this weeks tournament.

Big NFL news this week is that Dolphins quarterback Dante Culpepper is being replaced by ex-Chiefs quarterback Trent Green and this move caused Culpepper to leave camp on Friday and take most of the media with him. After all, this is about the only news the Dolphins are likely to make this season.

And just wrapping up, congrats to this weeks winning horse "Rags to Riches." The Belmost winner was the first filly in over a century to capture the Belmont. The win was also the first in a triple crown race for both jockey and trainer who were a combined 0-48.
