Sports World Roundup: U.S. Open Resumes Play This Morning with Phil, Tiger Lurking
A busy morning awaits with work duties and consulting appointments at the SBDC, so I figured a quick morning roundup was in order to get you caught up on the latest and greatest stories in the sports world.
First up? The U.S. Open. I really wish I could take today off from work to watch final round action, which has stretched into Monday because of torrential rain in New York this past weekend. The fourth round should be completed today, assuming there is no more rain, and resumes at 9:00 ET.
Taking a quick glance at the leaderboard, Ricky Barnes and Lucas Glover are tied at -7 (with Barnes in trouble after his tee shot #2 found trouble last night before play was suspended) with Phil Mickelson, Hunter Mahan, David Duval (David Duval!!??) and Ross Fisher sitting at -1. Mike Weir is in 7th place at -1 and then Tiger Woods is lurking at even par.
I have a feeling that Phil or Tiger is winning this thing. I know they have a lot of ground to make up, but I just have that feeling. Not sure the young guys ahead of them will be able to deal with the pressure. Either way, it’s been a fascinating championship, and would anything really surprise you at this point?
By the way, if you’re at work and catch watch the U.S. Open live, a great place to track it is Jason Sobel’s blog on ESPN.com.

ProFootballTalk has a report via Terry Pluto of the Plain-Dealer that the Browns never seriously got close to trading Braylon Edwards because no one came close to offering what the Browns considered fair value (namely, a first round pick.)

Scotty Pods has been outstanding this season in his return to the South Side. Is his success creating a problem for the White Sox? (If so, it’s definitely a good problem to have.)

Because it’s Monday, you should all read Peter King’s Monday Morning Quarterback. I haven’t read it yet, nor will I probably have time to until this evening, but you should. It’ll be good. It almost always is.
