For Your Saturday Afternoon Viewing Pleasure...
2:00, ESPN2: LPGA Golf. Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill, Third Round. Should be a fun weekend for those who really hate Annika Sorenstam. She didn't make the cut. 2:00, Fox Soccer Channel: French Soccer. Lille vs. Rennes. Alright, who wins in a huge battle royale: LPGA golfers, or French soccer p...
About Last Night...
• NHL Playoffs: Sharks 3, Oilers 6. It was probably a strange morning for you if you fell asleep in the 2nd period while the Sharks were kicking back with a comfortable 3-1 lead....
That Was Not As Much Fun As It Should Have Been
Phil Mickelson is your 2006 Masters winner. There was no drama on 18, there was no big finish. The 18th was just a formality. Phil Mickelson bumrushed the field, or perhaps more accurately, let the field bumrush themselves, en route to an easy green jacket....

• MLB: Cardinals @ Cubs. If the Cards can't manage to take at least one from the Cubbies, you're likely to get a very cranky Deadspin tomorrow....
Your Weekend Cycling Update
I know I've been a little lax in my cycling coverage here on Deadspin, but I got a good tip about an interesting finish in a pro cycling race this afternoon. Fabian Cancellara was the winner of the Paris-Roubaix race, which, explains a tipster, is to cycling as the Daytona 500 is to NASCAR. The 2n...
A 10 Unlike Any Other
Tiger doesn't look like he wants to be a part of it, but we're going to have quite a finish to the Masters anyway. Phil Mickelson continues to lead by one stroke. He's at -6, with Freddie Couples one stroke behind and Jose Maria Olazabal and Vijay Singh two back....

Inter Milan Fans Are A Charming Bunch
Upset that their favorite team was eliminated from the Champions League, Inter Milan fans waited for them at the airport and when they got back, assaulted them both verbally and physically....
A Ponytail Unlike Any Other
For the moment, I'm going to ignore the people who would tell you that "The Masters doesn't start until the back nine on Sunday." I've been watching for almost an hour already, and there's no way that Miguel Angel Jimenez's fucking head is bothering me this much without the tournament having start...
Detroit Tigers 5-0, Fans Confused
The perennially downtrodden Detroit Tigers, you may have noticed, are currently unefeated, which is just confusing the hell out of Tigers fans. I feel like the fact that the Tigers have sucked is the universe's way of balancing out the success of the Pistons and Red Wings, but it's still nice to s...

The Frozen Four Final Preview, Fool
I can't even begin to preview the Boston College/Wisconsin showdown this evening for the NCAA men's hockey national title.

At Least You Aren't Shawn Bradley
...and no one's making "NBA Bitches, Volume One" videos, starring you. So no matter what else happens today, at least you have that going for you. You probably aren't going to get dunked on today, and even if you do, it's not likely that anyone's going to make a YouTube video out of it....

We Will Have Golf Today
This was supposed to be a post about golf. I suppose it still is, but I wanted to tell you that Tiger Woods was making a charge, Chad Campbell was holding steady, Rocco Mediate had started yelling "ALRIGHT, ROCCO!" everytime he made a birdie putt, and Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh really did wres...
Today In The Premiership...
• Wigan 1-1 Birmingham. Birmingham plays a quality second half, earning a point against Wigan and keeping themselves out of the league's bottom three. The more I follow soccer, the more I like this relegation idea. Some American sports should really look into it....
