US Open: Glover wins it. I would like to take this time to say that when the experts have their equation that says who will win an event, it is ALWAYS wrong. The equation said Geoff Ogilvy would win, he ends up getting pummelled. Oh and I will say this: Tiger Woods is WAAAAY out of it. The only reason he isnt Number 2 in the world is because Phil Mickelson keeps giving away majors.

United States U16 Basketball: Hampton Roads, Virginia's own, James McAdoo puts up 20 points and gets 13 rebounds to lead the US team to a win over Argentina.

NBA Draft: Its no doubt Blake Griffin is going first. I would not pick an international player Number 2, which is why there is no clear favorite. All of the players that may go 2 (James Harden, Ricky Rubio, Hasheem Thabeet) have glaring holes in their game. Thats why I would go with point guard Tyreke Evans out of Memphis. Evans is 6 foot 7 with a 6 foot 11 wingspan and has tremendous strength. He has an NBA body unlike point guard Ricky Rubio.

Take Rubio: Its no doubt Spain's Ricky Rubio is very talented, with plenty of experience playing against great US players(he played very well against the US in the Olympic gold medal game). But he is the typical scrawny European, and wont be able to handle the rigors of an 82+ game schedule. He may not even play on his NBA team, insteading opting to go back to Spain if he doesnt like the team.
