Tiger woods not playing rest of the 08 season

What a disappointing news :(

One of the great finishes of 08' US Open championship brings in a mixed feeling. It was great to see Tiger won the major inspite of not playing for several weeks due to surgery. Unfortunately, long stressed game costing him rest of the season.

It is not so fun to watch golf games without Tiger. Last year, I happened to go to TPC Boston to watch Deutche Bank Championship. The very reason I went there was to watch Tiger playing. He came second behind Phil. I was thinking about going this time also. But not sure, if it is anymore excitement to go without Tiger playing in it.

I am sure his absence in rest of the season will be a huge loss for PGA in ticket sales.

I just want to wish him a speedy recovery and hope that he will come back atleast for the FedEX playoff...

Anything is POSSIBLE !!!

Anything is Possible ..... This is what Kevin Garnett said responding to a reporter.

Yes, Celtics won their 17th NBA Championship yesterday. What a comeback, after 22 years !!!

Celtics team on the legendary team in the history, winning the most NBA championships.

Fans, critics, and several others had written off Celtics, just a few years ago (as early as 2002). The new management made it a big comeback. Their smart marketing finally paid off.

Ray Allen was terrific. He equalled a record of 7 three pointers in an NBA finals. Pierce who finally won his first NBA championship like Ray and Kevin is my favourite and went on to win his first NBA Finals MVP award. They are amazing big 3 players....

Go Celtics !!!
