			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Here’s what happened this weekend in sports:</strong></p>
<p><img align="left" width="207" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Tiger%20and%20Mediate23.jpg" alt="Tiger and Mediate" height="226" />Will it be <strong>Tiger or Mediate</strong>? <strong>The two will face off today in an 18-hole playoff (Noon EST) to decide who will win the 2008 US Open title.</strong></p>
<p>Tiger usually wins when he is up the day before, but he was struggling yesterday because of his hurt knee, but I’m pretty hopeful he will be able to do his thing today.</p>
<p>             </p>
<p>               </p>
<p>                     </p>
<p><strong><img align="left" width="212" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/pierce_lakers_layup400550144.jpg" alt="Lakers vs Celtics" height="269" />Lakers win game 5</strong> – I honestly thought they weren’t going to pull it off &amp; I know die-hard fans were pretty disgruntled because of their horrible performance during game 4, especially with sports casters reminding them that <strong>no team has ever come back when down by 3-1 to win a title</strong>.</p>
<p>So, basically the Lakers will make history of they pull it off. The refs were pretty lenient on the Lakers especially in the last few minutes of the game.  <strong>Anyway, I’m sure the Celtics would rather win their final game at home.  :)        </strong></p>
<p><strong>             </strong></p>
<p><strong>                   </strong></p>
<p><strong>      </strong></p>
<p><strong><img align="left" width="228" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Dale%20Earnhardt%20Jr12.jpg" alt="Dale Earnhardt Jr" height="183" />Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the LifeLock 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race! </strong>Before this long anticipated victory he was on a 76 race losing streak!</p>
<p>He actually was <strong>supposed to run out of gas</strong> way before the finish line according to his pit crews estimations, but <strong>miraculously he an out of gas just shortly after crossing the finish line</strong>.</p>
<p>                    </p>
<p>                                                       </p>
<p><img align="left" width="233" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Turkey%20Moves%20onto%20Quarterfinals2.jpg" alt="Turkey Moves onto Quarterfinals" height="157" /><strong>Turkey beats the Czech Republic to make it to the Euro 2008 Quarterfinals.</strong> Turkey&#8217;s team captain, Nihat Kahveci, scored two goals in the last three minutes of the game. Pretty awesome.  Check out the game highlights <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUS8AxeyThU" title="Turkey vs Czech Republic">here</a>.</p>
