This was a great weekend for sports fans who thrive on multiple non-stop televised action. A true sports smorgasbord with eye popping results. Making headlines were Danica Patrick, Lorena Ochoa, Boo's at Hilton Head, Joe Calzaghe Punches to Light Heavyweight Crown, David Ferrer Serves Valencia, Mets vs Phillies, NBA Playoffs, NHL Playoffs, Olympic Football/Soccer Seedings and NFL Draft rumors heating up.

Top news honors belongs to hard driving and sexy Danica Patrick who made history becoming the first woman ever to win an open-wheel race (Indy Japan 300). Danica has been a strong competitor since entering the racing world back in 2005. Leading up to Indy Japan 300, she had 8 top 5 finishes and 26 top 10's in 47 career starts totaling over $3.2M (US). Three cheers Danica, hope to see you winning many more races!

Another big news item this weekend was Lorena Ochoa's fourth consecutive LGPA title by winning the Ginn Open at Reunion Resort and Club. The worlds #1 bested the field by three strokes and became the first player in seven years to record four straight (6th win of '08, 10th in last 15, 22 in career). Ochoa showed nerves of steel as she was challenged often throughout the tourney. She's riding a high and has a bright future.

If you're a fantasy sports player, this time of year leaves no rest for computer strained eyes and multiple scoreboard checks. Plenty of competitive basic and money leagues featured managers jockeying lineups on all of the major sports. NBA playoffs were hotly contested. NHL playoffs rolled along. And, there was plenty of baseball news including Frank "Big Hurt" Thomas being released by Toronto Blue Jays' brass one season after leading his former club with 27 round trippers. Tom Glavine (1st time in 22 seasons) and MVP Jimmy Rollins found their names added to an ever growing MLB disabled list. Yankee Stadium hosted the Pope. NFL was the only major sport missing this weekend. Have no fear, NFL teams have been busy evaluating future rookies while searching for stars ahead of next weekend's 2008 draft (scout your hometown team needs on All World All Sports Sports Sections from around the World).
