An advice column for people who live with people who live for sports
What happened on Thursday, February 5, 2015?
Tiger Woods drops out: No, it’s not the sequel to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, but unfortunately for Tiger Woods and his fans, it’s becoming a pattern. Woods pulled out of the Farmer’s Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in the middle of his first round due to a back injury. Line: No one, not even Tiger, can play well once their body starts falling apart.
Mrazek shuts them out: Detroit Red Wings goalie, Petr Mrazek, earned the third shut out of his career by saving all 28 shots the Colorado Avalanche threw at him. The Red Wings, who won the game 3-0, have now won eight of their last nine games. Line: The Red Wings have made the playoffs for 23 years in a row (the longest streak in the NHL, NBA, MLB, and NFL) and there’s no sign they’ll miss them any time soon the way they’re playing.
Clippers lose their temper and the game: The game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Cleveland Cavaliers seemed like it was over before it even got started. The Cavaliers jumped out to a 65-42 lead in the first half and never looked back. If they had, they would have seen the Clippers losing their temper and receiving five technical fouls, mostly for arguing with the refs. The Cavaliers have now won 12 games in a row. Line: It’s starting to feel inevitable that the Cavaliers will be in the Finals this year.
