March 2010

Last Monday, American League Most Valuable Player Joe Mauer signed an eight-year/$184 million contract extension with the Minnesota Twins.

The St. Paul native, who grew up eight miles from the Twins former home ballpark, the Metrodome and nine miles from brand new Target Field, always preferred to remain with his hometown team.

Saturday night, at 7:00 PM ET on CBS, Kentucky coach John Calipari is looking to join some incredibly elite company. 

With a victory over West Virginia, Calipari will match Louisville coach Rick Pitino, as the only two coaches to take three different schools to the Final Four. 

Calipari has led UMASS and Memphis to college basketball’s biggest stage.  Pitino took Providence, Kentucky and Louisville to the illustrious round of four.  

While Pitino has won a national championship, Calipari is still chasing that elusive goal.

Two weeks from today, the much disgraced Tiger Woods will make his triumphant return to professional golf.  The setting will be the 2010 Masters in Augusta, Georgia.

Golf’s greatest event, played at legendary Augusta National Golf Club, is the scene of Tiger’s most significant career achievements to date.

Tiger Woods has been awarded the Masters’ championship green jacket four times (1997, 2001, 2002 and 2005).  His first victory, in 1997, was responsible for Tiger’s introduction to the American celebrity landscape.

I used to be a person who completely excluded country music from anything that I could possibly like. As I have aged, that has slightly changed. What I have always respected however, were country artists who are so talented that they transcend the genre itself into the territory of just plain good tunage!! The Zac Brown Band has done just that! Sitting comfortably high on Billboard, these guys tear it up! This lucky fan sat in on a rehearsal at the Grammy's!!!!
