The Masters finished up today, and it was kind of a ho-hum affair. Tiger Woods had plenty of opportunities, but couldn't putt. The winner, Trevor Immelman, shot 75 and led wire-to-wire. Nobody was scoring as the conditions were awfully windy. But it still remains "a tradition, unlike any other".

Perhaps the U.K. was the place to be today as they ran the London Marathon...



























...And Manchester United beat Arsenal and gets ever closer to another EPL title. Owen Hargreaves with the game-winning free kick:



Meal of Links

Bracket alert! The Collegiate National Eating Championship is this Saturday.

Treasury Secretary Paulson says those $600 economic stimulus checks that you get will result in 500,000-600,000 new jobs. He's obviously on some new sort of drug.

Pepto Bismol: Laundromat". They may want to check those eating championships.

Last week, we stunbled onto this video clip. I'm not sure the protocol of congratulating a teammate after he makes a foul shot. I'm not even sure if each team or player has his own rules on if he even wants to participate. But one NBA player doesn't care. It's Andrew Bogut high-fiving mystery Milwaukee Buck teammates (actually himself) after a made foul shot. I like the part where he goes up top.

Both cable outlets showed boxing, I will catch up with the Showtime card, but I got around to watching the fights that HBO broadcast last night. In the first, Antonio Margarito whipped up on Kermit Cintron, KOing him with a body shot in the sixth. Kind of a weird fight, in that Cintron was throwing some good punches, it was just that Margarito threw more. Tons more, and completely dominated the power punching stats. It's a shame that both fights proved incompatible.

Especially the Alphonso Gomez-Miguel Cotto fight in the main event. Gomez had whipped up on Gatti two fights ago, but should not have even been in the ring with Cotto. Lamps even mentioned how "Cotto was slowly, inexoriably rearranging his face." Cotto basically stopped fighting near the end of Round 4 and the doctor told Gomez if he didn't do anything in the fifth, it was done. He called it after that round. It's been a while, but that was a tough one to watch. Clearly a mismatch. An interesting sidebar is that three of the last Cotto opponents never fought again, due to the punishment he dishes out. Interesting to see where Gomez goes after this one.

Looks like Cotto and Margarito will duke it out in July.
