sports FRENZY

This weekend may secretly be one of the best sports weekends of the year. Now sure, hardly anything can ever beat classic saturdays in college football, but as far as worldwide major sporting events, this weekend finds a mesh of a few of the most prestigous stages in all of sports...at the same time. If you not on board, it started yesterday, let me fill you in:
1) US Open at Winged Foot: Phil Mickelson is hot, the course is impossible, despite the Prickliness of Augusta, this is as glorious as it gets in golf
2) NBA Finals: Game 5 is sunday night, What first appeared to be a Dallas cake-walk as given new birth to what could be a 7 game slug-fest. Game 5 will be crucial sunday night after the Mavs poor showing last night
3) World Cup: Despite our American disdain for soccer, the rest of the world sees this as the pinnacle of competition--maybe we should at least watch? U.S. has huge game against power-house Italy (most likely a blowout)
4) Stanley Cup Finals: Again, i am not even a hockey fan. But you have to appreciate the stanley cup and at least acknowledge that it does have prestige. On top of the boredom, it actually is a good series. Game 6 is tonight....i think?
5) MLB interleague play: This is the best part about the regular season, some great series this weekend. I'm byast to the Braves-Red Sox series though


While i'm sure some lacrosse fans, Tennis, horse racing, or even cricket fans may have some huge 'regional qualifier' or some 'Bank of America invitational'---i really don't care. This weekend promises alot, and while the grass needs mowing and the weather will be gorgeous....call me, the phone will be next to me on the couch.
