Virgin Gaming Is Getting Better

I've wrote a few negative and positive reviews about virgin gaming over the years. I've accumulated some money in my account I could not withdraw because I was from Florida. However today they let me withdraw it finally... So just wanted to say good job on fixing that issue and thanks for giving us people living in the wrong state a chance at the Madden Challenge last year.

Ok that's enough match play for a year... but I Still love it once a year

Wow was I wrong. Both Rory and Tiger lost already. Better luck next year fellas. That goes to show though that the 28% chance of first rounders losing is not a joke.

Tiger Woods, Roy McIlroy and Match Play

The odds on golf are crazy in match play. I never realized one seeds would lose 28% of their matches. I would put the odds a lot lower this year though at least in the Tiger Woods and Roy McIlroy opening rounds. Even Though McIlroy's changed clubs are being overly well documented. I love match play it's my favorite type of golf to watch. I'm not sure I would like it as much if it was a weekly thing but being there's only a few match play events a year I love them. It makes golf a player vs. player event compared to a player versus field event which is neat. A Tiger McIlroy final would be "legendary". That's what I'm rooting for in every other sport I usually root for the under dogs. In golf I've always rooted for the front runners; I'm unsure why but always have.

The Jets Cut Bart Scott

I do not understand why the Jets are letting go defensive players such as Bart Scott among others. The Jets defense is what carried them to multiple AFC championship games. With a healthy Darell Revis the Jets could expect to return to playoff form. I know it may sound crazy but he is a huge!!! part of their past success. With Revis they are a playoff team without Revis they are equivalent to the Jaguars. They have no skill players of note on offense expect maybe Keller per his position in the league. Why hurt the strength of your team being defense. I think the Jets need to pick up a quick running back in the first round and put Tebow in. Then run some option Bull Crap offense next year. Then Draft a quarterback and receiver to groom into a true franchise quarterback and offense. It may not work but it is a quick solution to a big problem.

Russell Henley Wins Hawaii

I've been seeing a lot of comments about Russell Henley saying he doesn't spend much time on the driving range. I know most pro's do spend considerable time at the range before and after rounds. However Collin Montgomery did not spend much time on a driving range if I remember correctly and was quite a good golfer. The guys just being honest, everyone practices for every sport differently, he'd rather play golf than hit balls. Henley is on tour at 23, has won a event and a million bucks; he must be doing something right.

Brandt Snedecker Striking While the Iron is Hot

I just looked at the money leader board for the PGA tour this year and Snedecker is in the lead. Brandt has competed in 5 tournaments already this year. He's been a good player for a while breaking through last year winning the tour championship. Now this year he's already right at three million after winning pebble beach. The guy is playing a lot of high quality golf.

As Snedecker Put put it  "Just hard to put into words, to have a stretch of golf like I had the last couple of months."

Maybe Snedecker can be the next great American Golfer. Right now he is the hottest golfer in the game going into the Masters. My gut tells me Tiger Woods will win the masters this year but Snedecker played well at the masters last year and has already proven he can win on the biggest stages.

Problems Wins Another Madden Challenge

Wow Problems offense dominated this years Madden Challenge. Problems defense locked up the run and his stick skills took away a few crucial interceptions on his run to his third Madden Challenge. If anyone ever doubted who the best player is of all time in Madden don't.
