Tiger WoodsTiger WoodsTiger Woods' second tournament back from his break didn't go exactly the way he planned, as he shot a 7 over par, 79, one the second day, which made him miss the cut at the Quail Hollow Championship.  This being just the sixth time in his entire 14-year career that Tiger has missed the cut, and odd because of his great showing at the Masters, where he tied for fourth place.

Those things happen, however, when your drives rarely find the fairway, and when the putter isn't working.  He only hit 6 fairways out of the 36 holes he played, and many times three-putted, and once four-putted, which is very un-Tiger.

WilliamsWilliamsDoes anyone on the Denver Nuggets want to play defense?  If so, they may have a slim chance in this series, if not, the Utah Jazz finish off the series quickly.  There wasn't much defense at all played in tonight's Game 4 playoff game, and the Jazz beat the Nuggets 117-106, giving the Jazz a 3-1 series lead on the Nuggets.  Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams both went off in getting double-double's for the Jazz, with Boozer scoring 31 points and 13 rebounds, and Williams adding 24 points, and dishing out 13 assists.

AnthonyAnthonyThe hopes and dreams of the Denver Nuggets season rests in tonight's Game 4 Western Conference pivotal playoff matchup with the Utah Jazz, for a loss puts them down 3-1, and that would most likely be too big a hole to come back from.  The Nuggets must try to come back from their embarassing Game 3 loss to the Jazz 105-93.  Utah's defense flustered Carmelo Anthony all night, holding him to just 25 points, and the Nuggets, again, didn't have an answer for Jazz point guard, Deron Williams, who had a double-double, 24 points and 10 assists.

NFL DraftNFL DraftBarring yet another trade, and with only 20 picks left in the 2010 NFL Draft, it may be safe to say that the Denver Broncos have made their last selection with Indiana, Defensive End, Jammie Kirlew.  He's a bit undersized by had a great career at Indiana, and was an all-conference player the last two seasons.  He makes up for his lack of size, however, with a good work ethic and a motor that doesn't stop.

Trade Gives Broncos Two More Picks in 7th

NFL DraftNFL DraftIn my last blog I said the Denver Broncos were finished with the draft, barring a trade, and they went out and made a trade.  They traded their 5th Round pick in 2011 for this year's #225 and #232 of the seventh round.  With the #225 pick of the seventh round, the Denver Broncos selected California, Cornerback, Syd' Quan Thompson.  Sports Illustrated had him ranked as a fifth round pick, so getting him in the seventh is a great pick for the Broncos.  Thompson will add depth to the secondary with other draft pick Perrish Cox, and both will most likely play a significant role in special teams as they learn the system.

The Broncos are now almost finished with this year's draft, with only pick #232 left in the seventh round.

NFL DraftNFL DraftThe Denver Broncos went back to offense with the sixth round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft.  Denver selected Notre Dame, Offensive Guard/Center, Eric Olsen, with the #183 pick.  Scouts says he's a hardworking, tenacious blocker, and fits well with Coach Josh McDaniels mold of an offensive linemane.  He's also comes from Notre Dame, where he was coached by Charlie Weis, who coached with Denver Head Coach Josh McDaniels with the New England Patroits.  The NFL-style offense at Notre Dame will carry over nicely to Denver, and the lineman should make a nice transition to the league.

NFL DraftNFL DraftIn Round 5 of the 2010 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Oklahoma State, Cornerback, Perrish Cox, which is could be a steal of the draft.  He plays corner and also is a return specialist, had a great career at Oklahoma State, and Sports Illustrated had him as a second round projection.  He'll fit really well in the Broncos secondary, and also looks to find a role in special teams, as well.

Denver's next pick is the first on the defensive side of the ball, and their next pick is in the sixth round at pick 183.

Second Round 3 Pick for Broncos

NFL DraftNFL DraftAnother offensive weapons goes to the Denver Broncos, as they select Minnesota, Wide Receiver, Eric Decker, with the #87 pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.  The offensive foundation the Broncos have accumulated in this year's draft could go down as one of the best if the players live up to their hype.  Decker joins the group of wideout Demaryius Thomas, quarterback Tim Tebow, and offensive lineman Zane Beadles and J.D. Walton.

That closes up day two of the draft, with rounds 4 through 7 starting tomorrow morning.  The Broncos still have pick #137 (5th round), and the  #183 (6th round) left.  Day two is complete, one more left.
