BP Oil Leak
So yesterday brought the positive news that BP had finally capped the oil leak for the first time since April. My question now is why it took so long for BP to make this custom cap. While I do not know all the details, I know that it was only a matter of days for the installation of the cap and the oil to completely stop. It would make sense to me to have a cap ready for each drill site in operation just in case of another spill. That way the sill could be stopped within a week or two rather than months. Just a thought.
British Open
Rory McIlroy and John Daly had an unbelievable first round yesterday at the British Open. If both players are still in contention on Sunday, that would be an unbelievable final pairing. You would have Rory, a 21 year old, ranked in the top 10 in the world, who set or tied 2 course records this year so far (62 at Quail Hollow, 63 at the Old Course at St. Andrews) paired with John Daly. If you even remotely follow golf, you know about John Daly. Picture Rory and John walking down the 18th fairway. That would make for an entertaining Sunday.
Thanks for reading!

Monday Morning Thoughts
Happy Monday Everyone! After an exciting weekend in the World Cup and
the PGA, I have a couple thoughts on everything that happend this
weekend
5. World Cup Refs - Friday during the USA game was another perfect
example of "human error" in sports. With the USA trailing 2-0 at
halftime, they essentially pulled off a stunning comeback. After
scoring 2 goals to tie the game, a free kick was awarded to the USA. A
very nice set play and the USA scores the game winning goal. But
wait...the ref called a foul on the US even though two US players were
in bear hugs from Slovania. NO GOAL. In stead of the 3 points for a
win, the US managed to get a draw instead. A terrible terrible call.
4. The Orioles continued their steller season this weekend against San
Diego. They lost yet another series. When will their season be over!
3. What were the Canadians thinking trading the goalie that clearly
helped them through the playoffs. The trade of Halak caught me
completely off guard. I was expecting a mega deal to be signed during
this offseason with the Canadians. Instead, we will see him next
season we will see him in a Blues Uniform.
2. BP CEO Tony Hayward was spotted at a yacht race in England this
weekend to watch his yacht "Bob" race. Is this a big deal? Not at all.
Even if the man was at work, would the oil spill have been stopped?
NO. The man deserves to spend a couple hours with his FAMILY during
Father's day weekend.
1. With a tie and a loss and a game vs. South Africa this week, what
is happening to France. Within the last couple of days, a player was
dismissed, the trainer quit, the players refused to train during
practice and the team director resigned. Is this the end of France at
this years World Cup, I think so.
Enjoy and keep checking for new updates!
