Who says Monday isn't good for sports?

First off, hello everyone! I'm Matthew and I will be joining Joey here as a writer at The Bandwagon. I will try to cover topics that Joey may miss and try to provide a counterpoint to him as well. Now, on to the actual post!

Traditionally Monday is usually a dead day for sports, especially during the summer months. The races are done on Sunday, a lot of baseball teams are off, and the golf tournaments have completed. Not this Monday. As I write this, Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate are going at each other in the only 18-hole playoff in professional golf, after Woods hit an amazing putt on the 72nd hole yesterday to send it into extra time. While that is going on, over on ESPN a great soccer game is about to begin. Thanks to the genius who does programming over there they now air the major European tournaments live. If you're willing to do a little channel flipping, sometimes there are some good sports on on Mondays.
