In Case You Missed It
- Weekend Sports Round-up – Joakim Noah whooped on the LBJ and the Heat on Sunday. Lebron was held to 17 points while Joakiiiiim scored 20 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, blocked 5 shots and dropped 7 dimes… Wichita St capped off a 34-0 regular season, downing Indiana St on Sunday… Donald Trump is a jerk. That’s what most of the guys who played in the WGC this weekend think. The Blue Monster is definitely monstrous again. Only three players finished under par, with Patrick Reed winning his third tournament of the wrap-around season. If your golfers finished less than +20, you probably won your GPP.
- The Weekend GPP Action – In the final qualifier for the DSBBC on Friday night, dinkpiece took down not only the ticket, but 5 of the top 7 spots in the tournament. Day one of the DSBBC kickes off on Wednesday night. On Saturday night, Melo4MVP took down the latest Playboy Qualifier on StarStreet. You may know him better as his alter-ego, Rudy4MVP, or here on RotoGrinders, Troll4MVP.
Today’s Events
- Podcast Interview with 1curor – Last week FanThrowDown dropped the huge announcement that Condia and 1curor would be joining the site in a consulting role.
