JJ Hickson was drafted 19th by the Cleveland Cavaliers. So, his decision to leave proved to be a good one. I don't think anyone should expect to see too much of him in the next couple of years, but I expect he'll be a contributor at some point. I wish him the best of luck.
Brandon Jennings is going to Europe to play. He was awaiting a third SAT result, attempting to meet NCAA qualification guidelines, but before the results were returned he decided to forgo college basketball. He is planning to sign with a European team for a year, then return to the US for next year's NBA draft. Jennings' success or failure will be an interesting case-study for future high school stars who may decide to take the same route. NBA and NCAA executives will all have interests/concerns about the outcome of Jennings' overseas adventure.
NASCAR had a race last week. They have another one this week.
The British Open is coming up soon, and for the first time in a long time, it's an absolute certainty that Tiger Woods will not win.
In other news, football starts cranking up at the end of this month. Most, if not all, NFL training camps open in late July, and most college camps open in early August according to the limited information I could find. Football is my favorite spectator sport, so I'm excited for the beginning of a new season. Both of my favorite teams (Carolina Panthers and NC State Wolfpack) are currently undefeated.
One other thing:
Josh Hamilton is the man.
