Sports Topics

So many topics swirling in my head, and they all seem to have to do with sports: John Valentin, with Jersey City origins, is "sort of" reunited with Mo Vaughn when Valentin signed a minor-league contract with the Mets. The Sacramento Kings are the best team I've seen play against the Celtics. Joe Thornton should really be on Canada's Olympic ice hockey team. Tiger Woods is playing at Torrey Pines this week, home to the Buick Invitational. I scored my first birdie at Torrey Pines. I'll be rooting for Michelle Kwan to win a figure skating gold medal. Magic Johnson said he saw a tremendous goal by soccer great Zinedine Zidane (who plays for Real Madrid), and Magic is quoted as saying "He's just as good as me and Michael Jordan put together." I'm still looking for this goal myself.
