Roenick Talks with Chelios During Retirement Announcement

A great moment during the Jeremy Roenick retirement press conference, when he talked with longtime Chicago teammate/friend Chris Chelios. For those growing up during the 90's watching Blackhawks hockey, JR and Cheli were fun to watch, and brought many exciting moments to Chicago (sound familiar...cough Toews, Kane cough)

DG Video: Tiger Outlasts Rocco

After 91 holes of golf over five days, Tiger Woods outlasted Rocco Mediate to win the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines for his 14th career major victory.  It was a back-and-forth battle all day, as each player had the lead moments of time.  Tiger made some great putts early in the day to hold Rocco back, eventually gaining a three-shot lead with about half of the course to play.  Then, things took a big swing as Rocco regained the lead and took a one-stroke advantage to the 18th hole.  At that 18th hole, Tiger was making all of his shots, as Rocco struggled around the bunkers and fairway.  Even then, it came down to Tiger making his birdie and Rocco missing his, and the tournament went to a 91st hole in sudden death.  On that sudden death, Rocco missed his par putt to extend the championship, as Tiger Woods took home the hardware in what he called his "best [championship] ever."  It was an amazing five days, filled with Tiger memories, as he continues to prove why he is the best player in the world, and going to be (if not already) the best ever.  He made putt after putt, eagled three times, amazed himself, long drives, great iron shots, stellar chips, and remain driven and focused---all on one healthy knee.  Rightfully so, Tiger said that he will take some more time off now to give his knee time to fully recuperate to get back to the 100% Tiger we all know.  With his 14th major victory under his belt, he is now four behind Jack Nicklaus on the career major victories list; and the British Open and PGA Championship still remain this year.  For all the ESPN highlights of today's playoff and Tiger's victory, see the link to the video below.

DG Video: Tiger Not Done Yet

As if Saturday's 3rd round performance wasn't amazing enough, Tiger followed it up with another eventful day at Torrey Pines.  Through the first two holes, he relinquished his one stroke lead and dropped three shots on the day, falling back to even while showing some pain in his surgically-repaired left knee.  However, going through the day and picking up some adrenaline and competitive fire, he kept pace with the top of the field.  Culminating numerous par-saves and smart decisions on adjusting his game to complement his knee's strength, Tiger arrived at the 18th hole.  With Rocco Mediate in the clubhouse as the leader at -1 after a solid outing, Tiger had to birdie to tie him for the lead, as did Lee Westwood (the other member in Tiger's pair).  After both golfers drives landed in fairway bunkers, and proceeded to layup before the green, they both made it on the green with chances for birdie, playoff-clinching putts.  Westwood didn't quite strike his putt hard enough, and thus fell out of playoff contention.  Tiger, however, seemed to muster up all of the concentration and energy left from a surely physically demanding four days, and sunk the putt followed by an eruption of energy (both by Tiger, Stevie, and the entire gallery).  Tiger will now face Rocco in an 18-hole playoff tomorrow at Torrey Pines, beginning at 10:30 am on ESPN for the first nine holes, and concluding on NBC for the final nine.  Below is a link to ESPN SportsCenter's highlights of the day.  Be sure to check ESPN.com and SportsCenter for continuing coverage from Scott Van Pelt and Andy North in La Jolla, CA.  Good luck to Tiger in tomorrow's finale, and hoping for major number 14!

DG Video: Tiger's Amazing Saturday

Tiger had yet another amazing day on Saturday at Torrey Pines.  He was multiple shots back at some points, but his last four holes ended in Tiger mastery.  Playing on one knee (and in visible, limping pain after some shots), Tiger roared back with 2 eagles and a hole-out from the sand to charge atop the leaderboard at -3 entering Sunday's final day of competition.  HIs shots were met with thunderous crowd responses louder than almost anything heard before, according to ESPN's Rick Reilly.  His final eagle putt on #18 was executed with such precision that it shows us how great of an athlete we are witnessing.  It reminded me of a David Feherty comment after one of Tiger's past, signature shots:  "That is just wrong on so many levels."  Even Tiger can be seen visibly amazed at some of the things he does.  The following are two great videos recapping the day in La Jolla.  The first is a link to ESPN Video of SportsCenter's highlights, while the second video is Rick Reilly's reaction to the day's events.
