Reverse Retro

 The NHL released their much anticipated reverse retro jerseys. I would say they hit an absolute home run. Some of the concepts are just amazing. The purple Nordiques jersey, The flames horsehead jersey. The list goes on. Obviously my personal favorite is the Bruins. They went back to the 80s-90s with theirs. The yellow color with the tiger bear on the shoulder is a great throw back to the good old days of the Boston Garden. 

It just screams good idea. The other winner in my book is the Anaheim Ducks. They have finally brought back the Wild Wing jersey from the 90s. This thing is so comically bad that it makes it one of the best professional sports jerseys I've ever seen. It looks like a very minor league hockey jersey. But it is one I've always been fond of. Now we just need a season so that we can see this new threads on a nice clear 55 inch TV. 

Moving onto the Masters. Everyone always give me crap for liking Tiger Woods. But oh well, People walk around and openly root for the Atlanta Falcons so leave me alone. By now I'm sure you've seen that Tiger did not win this years Masters. In fact after a bogey free round on Thursday he was not very good at all. This would eclipse on sunday when on the 12th hole a par 3 tiger logged his first ever 10 as a professional golfer. How could Tiger Woods ever put a 10 on his score card you ask? Well, his first 3 shots on the hole went into the water, on his 4th shot which after penalties was his 7th he hit out of a bunker with too much force and ended up wet again. He then calmed down and was able to make the 10. This put him 4 over par for the day. Tiger would not disappoint though. he would go on to birdie 5 of the last 6 holes to end his 2020 Masters at minus 1. Not a lot of golfers can log a 10 on the card during the back 9 and still finish the day under par. The next major in golf ironically will be next years Masters. Should it be played in April on time. Dustin Johnson who is regarded by some golf fans as the best on the tour right now, Took home his first green jacket. He was stellar from start to finish starting Sunday at a very comfortable 14 under par. The golf world once dominated by older guys like Tiger and Phil is now being taken over by the younger more hungry crowd of Johnson, Mcllroy, Thomas ect.

Rounding out the weekend of sports, The Patriots shocked everyone by beating the Ravens Sunday night. Mother nature decided she was gonna make this one a battle of the mobile QBs and boy did they not disappoint. The Pats kept any hope of a playoff birth alive with the win. 

Tom Brady also had a very good win over the Panthers this week. The ageless wonder threw for 341 yards on 28-39 passes and he also ran in a touchdown. I said in my last post that people should stop with the Brady is too old argument. Everyone in the NFL has a stinker of a game once in a while. It just took him 20 years to have one that bad. Look how he responded! Great game. He was passing the ball into spots that just weren't there. Or at least didn't look like they were. I think its fair to say that Tom Brady is just fine and that the Bucs are very lucky to have gone from Jameis Winston to a first ballot Hall of Famer. One thing from that game that struck me as odd. Bucs running back Ronald Jones ran the longest TD in Bucs history. 98 yards. What struck me as odd is that the Bucs had Warrick Dunn for a time and he was a very prolific runner. I found it shocking that 98 was the longest every in team history. Doug Martin held the previous title for longest run at 97 yards but he didn't score on the play. I think things are going pretty well for Brady and company.
