Well this weekend saw el Classico and my second favorite event, The Master's. In el Classico, Barca went to the Bernabeau and won 2-0 to give them the pole position for their second straight la Liga title. There are 7 games left and Barca has a 3 point lead and the tie breaker should they tie on points. Barca now need to match Madrid the rest of the way to retain their title and must also focus on Inter in a week in a half for their Champion's League campaign.
As for The Master's, it was exciting. I will start off saying that no matter what, I am still a Tiger Woods fan, as his golfing ability is utterly amazing. Say what you want about him as a person, he is still an amazing golfer. Also, I don't really like Phil Mickelson, and I have been trying to figure out why. He did go to ASU and me being a U of A grad might have something to do with it, it might also be that he is kind of the "anti-Tiger". Either way I don't really like when he wins but I must say he played great this weekend and deserved the Green Jacket. That shot on 13 through the trees was quite amazing. I was pulling for Tiger the whole time but he just had too many mistakes. Though given a 5 month layoff and him still finishing fourth is pretty damn amazing. And it is also scary to think that as bad as he played this weekend he still shot under par every round and was only 4 shots back. If he hit the driver a littler better and made a couple more putts he wins this tournament. What does that mean going forward? Who knows. I still think he has a great shot at the US Open at Pebble Beach and the British Open at St. Andrews but who knows.
Anyway, great weekend for sports. El Classico was a great game and even if you're a Real Madrid supporter you can take away positives from the game and know that you can still fight for the title. El Classico has also put Messi far above everyone else to retain his world player of the year all he needs to do now is do something in the World Cup and it is his. The Master's was as beautiful as ever. There is not a more beautiful or tranquil setting than Augusta National and there is no better golf tournament than The Master's. The set up to create opportunities, the course itself and all its subtleties, and of course the amazing players.

Tiger Woods
Alright, so I know this is a soccer blog but I have been reading a lot of things about Tiger Woods so I decided to make my views known.
First off, yes Tiger behaved poorly and has since been punished (if not overly) for it. However, these were not crimes or arrestable offenses. These were personal problems and wrong doings and have nothing to do with anyone but Tiger and his family. We, as fans, press, or other players, have no right to to know exactly what happened or to get angry at Tiger. Yes, he may have misrepresented himself but most of us and done just as bad if not worse than Tiger and to have this huge public outcry against him is just plain hypocrisy. Leave the man alone, he made mistakes and is trying to make up for them TO HIS FAMILY which is all he needs to do.
Secondly, Tiger will come back and play this year and will more than likely be his usual self. I have heard that many fans will try to taunt and heckle him for what he has done which to me is just plain jealousy. He made a mistake in his life and anyone who plans to heckle him for it is just jealous of how great a golfer he is and is a hypocrite. So to all of you who plan to do that, GET A FUCKING LIFE.
Finally, yes Tiger is going to play. Where and when will he come back is the big debate now. In my opinion his best option would be The Masters at Augusta. I can understand that he wants practice and real competition before he plays there but my reasons for not doing so are pretty decent. People may heckle him and treat him poorly and at other more public courses it will be much worse than at Augusta. Augusta is a private club and is considered golfing heaven. People act differently when at Augusta and will shut those bad eggs out. Tiger will be heckled much less at Augusta and if he is the other fans will make sure to get that bad fan out of there. Plus, Tiger is like royalty at Augusta. Finally, coming back at Augusta gives him a chance to get right into and play at the top level right away without any of the off course distractions.
So that is it on my take for Tiger. He will most likely come back before the Masters but at least I have had my say now. Good luck Tiger, I, for one, am with you
