When Is it Time To Hang'um Up

Derek Jeter has been Mr New York since 1995.  For the most part his career has been injury free and then he hit that over 35 years old and a broken ankle has turned into a pulled muscle.  What will be next for  one of the only players in the last 20 years that has never had a hint of the word steroid mentioned.  The Yankees are old and need to clean house.  It is hard to do to a person that has been the face of the Yankees for almost 20 years.

NFL  training camps are starting today for some but by the end of the week football will be back.  I think it is 13 more days for those glorious preseason games get started.  Colleges  start football around Aug 1st through 5th.  Labor Day weekend is six weeks away.

Garner Saturday afternoon beat Pitt County 5-4  to take a two games to none lead in the Area One American Legion Title.  They can punch their ticket to Wilson Today at Garner High.  PC has to win three in a row to continue their season.

J'Kyra Brown plays her last high school basketball game Monday night at the Greensboro Coliseum.  another Gryphon Kelsey Daniels is a replacement and this gives the Lady Gryphons two players in the girls game.  Soccer is Tuesday and the football East West game is Wednesday night.  The North Carolina Coaches clinics  start Monday in Greensboro.

Don't care whether he is no longer the Tiger Woods of ten years ago or not the final round of the British Open will probably be the most watched Open of all time.  Tiger may win Sunday but he has lost that aura he once had that players look over their shoulder to see where he is.  Would not shock me if his partner Adam Scott Sunday wins it all. I like watching all the majors.  The Open looks like it is played in a pasture that they moved the cows or sheep last week and dug some holes in the ground and hollered FORE.
