Washington lineman Albert Haynesworth is skipping the teams mandatory minicamp this week. He apprantly is unhappy that he will be moved to nose tackle in the team's new defensive scheme. Poor baby. It seems to me that when a team lavishes a 100 million dollar contract on a player they can use him as they see fit. That's right Albert Haynesworth isnt reporting to work even thought he's earning 100 MILLINON DOLLARS! It would be unbelievable if we hadnt seen it before.

Boston will try and bounce back tonight after the Lakers shellacked them in Game 6. It's one game for the title at the Staples Center. I would imagine the celebrity meter will be running high.

The Woodchucks hit the road for 4 games after losing last night. Theya re in Eau Claire tonight and in waterloo on the weekend. They return home Monday night.

The Marathon high school baseball team plays for a state title today in D-3 against La Crosse Aquinas...it's a rematch of last years title game. The Wausau East girls soccer team begins State Tournament play tonight against Verona in suburban Milwaukee.

The Wausau Post 10 American Legion team returns to action tonight at Athletic Park. They host Stevens Point in an early season league clash. The Defensing Wisconsin State Champion  Post 10 Bulldogs are 5-1 to begin the season. Game time is 7pm and admission is free. RSW plays at Wisconsin Rapids in the other game on the schedule tonight.

I'll be broadcasting live today from 11:30-1 pm at Kregers' Bakery & Deli . Free coffee and doughnuts and you can win Brewer tickets. Kreger's is located on Third Street in Wausau just south of Bridge street.

Songs of the Day  (from my I-pod)

From Hank To Hendrix-Neil Young (1992) from his beautiful "Harvest Moon" cd. The prolific Mr. Young can write songs like this all day long.

From A Distance-Nanci Griffith (1987) a beautiful Julie Gold song that Griffith made her own. You may have heard the Bette Midler version but I prefer the "Queen of Folkabilly" I've got tickets to see her in Superior in August at Big Top Chatuqua.
