Draft Day and day two from the Masters

Posted on April 12, 2014 by susan

Hey guys!  Saw a really good movie today (it has been awhile), Draft Day starring Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner and others.  Kevin Costner knows how to do a great sports movie…think Field of Dreams and For Love of the Game.  This one is about football (of course), not baseball, and it is wonderful.  It is set in Cleveland, a town that is all about its sports teams (gee LeBron, they still miss you!) and also about a family and their longtime involvement in football and with the organization.  More importantly, it is about a man following his convictions, listening to his gut, going after the right guy and making the right choices for the right reasons, and learning about himself and others along the way.  It is feel good, inspirational and only an hour and 40 minutes long!  Jen Garner does a wonderful job as his partner in life and in the organization, a lawyer and a woman with a high level job in the management of an NFL franchise.  Don’t want to give it all away, just go a see if for yourselves if so inclined.  Really enjoyable movie with a great message, uplifting and encouraging!  I sure came out with a bounce in my step!!

Meanwhile, day two from the Masters in Augusta, GA is complete.  Bubba Watson (winner in 2012) put on a clinic, making five birdies in a row on the back nine to surge to the top of the leaderboard at -7.  John Senden sits in second at -4.  T. Bjorn, Adam Scott (last year’s winner of the green jacket), Jordan Spieth all are at -3 and the ageless Freddie Couples and Jimmy Walker are at -2 along with Jim Furyk.  Freddie knows how to play this course!  Rory Mcilroy struggled and finished at +4, barely making the cut.  Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker are E (even par) and Phil Mickelson missed the cut by one, finishing a disappointing +5.  Still tough to watch and know Tiger Woods is MIA.  Even Lefty remarked that is was just “weird” that Tiger wasn’t there.  Round three continues tomorrow with live coverage beginning at 3:00 pm EST.  Great weather is forecast for the weekend!

Surviving Paradise today and good news for Federer fans!

Posted on April 9, 2014 by susan

It is Wednesday and that is Surviving “Paradise” the book day!!  But, first I will share some good news for Fed fans like myself!  Roger has accepted a wild card berth to play in the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 event which begins on Monday, April 13, 2014!  Great news as he had previously announced he would take four weeks off and not rejoin the tennis tour action until the Madrid Open.  That means we get to watch and see Mr. Federer back in action sooner than expected.  It must have been all that excitement of the Davis Cup action this past weekend…Roger was so excited he just could not stand it!  So, good news for all of us who love to watch Roger Federer play tennis!

Now, to the business of being Wednesday…the day I shamelessly promote my book Surviving “Paradise” by Susan Willoch Shaver.  Please check it out at Amazon.com for $8.99 in paperback, $3.03 in kindle edition, and $4.99 at Barnes and Noble nook.  Follow a southern woman who relocates to southwest Florida full of excitement only to be met by a ridiculous set of people and circumstances.  Neighborhood mayhem with comedy and “drama”!!  Try it, I hope you will like it!  Check out the home page at the website for additional info.Surviving Paradise

Enjoy your Wednesday.  Again, good news about Roger Federer, especially in light of the disappointing news regarding no Tiger Woods at the Masters, which by the way gets underway tomorrow from Augusta, GA.

Also, looks like a really good movie coming out this Friday, Draft Day, starring Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner.  Sports fans and movie fans should all enjoy.  I hope to catch it at the theater near me!

Later…

U Conn cuts down the nets!

Posted on April 8, 2014 by susan

Last night, U Conn cut down the nets with a 60-54 win over Kentucky.  They were the highest combined seeds to ever play for a NCAA Basketball Championship, and they are two of the most storied programs in NCAA Basketball history.  U Conn was a #7 seed, Kentucky a #8 seed, and they both had remarkable runs through the “tourney” to make it into the title game.  U Conn ran away with the game early, but Kentucky did what they have done consistently throughout the tournament, come roaring back from behind.  At the half, U Conn led 35-31.  Throughout the second period, Kentucky would pull to within one point on several occasions only to see the play of Boatwright and Napier and the rest of the U Conn team enable them to pull ahead again.  It was a great win for head coach Kevin Ollie, a U Conn alum and a great win for this team after serving a two year NCAA ban on post season appearances.  Yet, usually when a team is banned from post season appearances, there are reasons for that, ie., they have broken the rules.  Now, we can get into a debate about the NCAA and how it enforces it rules, do they do a good job of it, are some penalized unjustly while others not penalized enough.  That is all a debate for another day.  At the end of last night, point guard Shabazz Napier (arguably the best college point guard in the country) had secured his second ring. beginning his college career at U Conn with a national title and ending with one as well.  Very impressive…he also added MVP to his resume.

So, the Kentucky faithful found themselves on the short end of the title game after one miraculous win after another to find themselves in the title game.  They had complained loudly about their seeding and how tough their bracket was but managed to persevere and make into the Championship game inspite of it all.  Kudos to them for that.  For me personally, it is hard to get super excited when you really want to see a great basketball game for the National Championship, but you really don’t care which team wins.  I did not have “a horse in this race” so to speak.  I get a bit irked to be quite honest at Coach Cal’s never ending stable of one and done super freshman.  But to his credit, he reloads every year.  As far as U Conn, well they did beat Georgia Tech in the early 2000’s when Hewitt’s team of unheralded players made their miraculous run through the tournament and found themselves in the Title game.  So, did I have a favorite?  No.  I guess I sort of pulled for U Conn, maybe I just struggle to pull for the SEC.  Also, U Conn was left off of the invitation list from the ACC to the Big East as far as which teams they would like to join their powerful basketball conference.  Louisville will join next year, not U Conn.  Guess U Conn can enjoy a nice high five over that one!  Impressive performance by both teams, and what a gutsy guy Boatwright is for staying in the game, even after suffering a sprained ankle in the second half.  I am sure nothing was going to pull him out, short of an injury that would require him being carted off.  When the clock ticked to .00, U Conn was hoisting the trophy and Kentucky was left to exit the court with disappointment, but still heads held high for their achievement in arriving to the final dance in this year’s journey to the tourney.

As always, my favorite part of the final “show” is the playing of One Shinning Moment with running highlights of the tourney.  And by the way, did you all catch the Bud commercial?  It was the same one that aired during the Super Bowl!

Again, congrats to the Huskies, the 2013-14 NCAA National Basketball Champions!

Davis Cup quarters completed! Semifinals set…

Posted on April 6, 2014 by susan

Davis Cup tennis quarterfinal action was completed today and what a day it was!!  All three of the “big” matchups went to the fifth rubber match to decide the fate of the teams involved.  Let’s begin in Naples, Italy where Great Britain fell to the Italian team, losing the fifth rubber match after taking a 2-1 lead after the first singles matches and the doubles.  Andy Murray was a bit of a letdown for the Brits, as he was upset by Fognini and James Ward, the #2 Brit could not get it done in the 5th and deciding match.  Really interesting format, you learn something new everyday if you try!  Apparently, it is customary for the #1 player from each team to play the first singles match on the final day, and then the #2 players to face off (when necessary).  This is important info when we get to the Swiss match!  Anyhow, the Italians advance into semifinal action and will face…that’s right Roger Federer and the Swiss!

In Geneva, Switzerland, the Swiss team headed into today’s action down 1-2 to Kazakhstan after Roger and Stan Wawrinka suffered a disappointing loss in doubles yesterday and Wawrinka fell in the opening singles match to Golubev on Friday.  For the first time in well over a decade, Roger is not currently the #1 singles player in Switzerland as he is ranked #4 in the world and Stan is ranked #3.  So, that meant Wawrinka up first, then Roger.  Today, Stan took the court first and pulled out a tough three set match for the home Swiss team to give “Mr. Federer to serve” a chance to have significant meaning!  And, Mr. Federer came through.  He won the first set in a tie break (7-0) and then breezed through the next two sets over Golubev (what a competitor he was during this three day match) and sealed the deal for the Swiss.  Another first for Roger.  He has never played a live fifth rubber match in Davis Cup action.  It was really great to see the enthusiasm displayed after he won the match and helped his team advance.  Equally cool to see wife Mirka with iPhone in hand taking pictures for the family photo album of never ending accomplishments!

Finally in Nancy, Germany, the French team (which is loaded, Monfils and Tsonga playing, Gasquet and Simone not even in action due to injury) took the fifth rubber match in style to advance into the semifinals where they will host the Czech team.  The ever flamboyant Monfils was playing his first Davis Cup match in three years and he did not disappoint.  Great win for the French as Tsonga had been upset in the first singles match earlier in the day.

So, semifinal action will feature France hosting the Czech team and the team from Switzerland hosting the Italians (Seppi was the star for them today!)  Going to be great action when Davis Cup continues…it has been projected that the Swiss and the French teams were the favorites to play for the Davis Cup (Roger Federer has never won a Davis Cup for Switzerland and it is high on his bucket list to do before he calls it a day)!  (P.S. Do not expect that to happen anytime soon the way Mr. Federer is playing right now!)  I would think beating Nadal on clay would be up there somewhere as well.  Anyhow…Davis Cup action is special and has a unique feel to the atmosphere and the competition so anything can happen.  After all…all three of these Davis Cup encounters went the distance, right down to the deciding fifth rubber match on the same day.  Hope the semifinals are just as great!

Tonight on Showtime, the season finale of the great show House of Lies airs with Don Cheadle and Kristin Bell.  What will happen with Marty and Jeannie finally getting together?  Watch and see at 10:00 pm EST.  Love this show!

Next Sunday (4/13), Californication will return to Showtime for it’s final season.  Cannot wait as I have watched all seven seasons of this show.  Will Hank and Karen really make it work?  What about the “munchkin”, their adorable daughter Becca who is off on a trip of self discovery and wants to become a writer like Dad.  Hate to see this show end but I hope they do a bang up job of wrapping it up for us in this, it’s swan song!

Tomorrow…we will focus on the game that matters…the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship from Dallas.  U Conn vs. Kentucky.  Who had that in their bracket?  Not I for sure, but if it is anything like the Wisconsin – Kentucky game last night, it should be a great one.  Can you say Harrison for three and the win??  That would mean Kentucky cuts down the nets.  I don’t know…not ready to call it yet.  Stay tuned!

Surprise results in Davis Cup action…Final Four underway

Posted on April 5, 2014 by admin

A bit of a shock in Davis Cup action today from Geneva, Switzerland.  Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka fell in four tough sets to the team from Kazakhstan (two of the sets they lost were decided by tie breaks).  Wawrinka wobbled throughout the match with his play at the net while Federer was the more steadier of the two, although he did drop his serve in the opening game of the first set.  So…tomorrow, trailing 1-2, the Swiss will need to win BOTH singles matches to advance to the semifinals of Davis Cup action.  Wawrinka is up first, Federer next if Wawrinka can get it done.  At least, that is the plan as of late today.  (Psst… Happy Birthday Mirka, Fed’s wife, who celebrated her 36th this past week!!)

Andy Murray won his delayed due to darkness singles match and then came back again today to team with Colin Flemming to win the doubles over the Italian team of Fognini and Botelli.  Great Britain leads 2-1 going into tomorrows singles matches.

The French pulled to 1-2 after sitting at 0-2 after yesterday’s results facing off against the German team.  They won the doubles so the action tomorrow will be important.  It was expected that the French would play the Swiss in the semifinal but both teams find themselves at 1-2 heading into tomorrow.  Yikes…did not see this coming, especially Fed and Stan the man going down in doubles action!

The Czech team will advance over Japan, already up 3-0.  Nishikori and Berdych are both MIA.

And at long last…the Final Four is underway from Dallas.  U Conn leads Florida at the half, 25 – 22.  Calm down…it is halftime!  Wisconsin and Kentucky will follow this game.

Until later…

Turn out the lights…the Florida Gators are out!  U Conn wins 63-53!!  What a performance.  Is Napier the best point guard in the country?  Huskies into the title game.  Next up…Wisconsin vs. Kentucky?  Picks…are you kidding…my bracket is toast!

Kentucky 74 – Wisconsin 73.  Harrison hits three point shot with 5+ seconds to go!  This game was incredible!  What a game, heartbreak for the Badgers.  Kentucky vs. U Conn for that “shinning moment” on Monday night!   Oh my….

Davis Cup action in tennis…and some pop culture news

Posted on April 5, 2014 by susan

Davis Cup quarterfinal action underway today in full force.  In Geneva, Switzerland, disappointment in the first match as Stan “the man” Wawrinka fell to Golubar (who?) of Kazakhstan in four sets to put the Swiss behind at 0-1.  Then, of course, Roger Federer took the court and won his match in straight sets to give the shocked Swiss a 1-1 tie.  (You can count of Roger!!)  Tomorrow, Wawrinka and Federer will team up in a very important doubles match, probably a must win match and then Federer will likely play the first singles match on Sunday (or the second, depending on how the doubles match unfolds).  Switzerland was projected to advance from this quarterfinal and hopefully move on to the semifinals with their best chance in many years of winning the Davis Cup.  This would be an accomplishment still missing from Roger’s resume (along with an Olympic singles gold medal; he is of course a silver medalist and also won the gold medal in doubles with Wawrinka.)  Hard to find any holes in Mr. Federer’s resume so best to shut up and move on…especially since I love Roger Federer!!  GO SWISS!

France, expected to challenge the Swiss finds themselves down 0-2 after today’s shocking results.  Both Benneteau and Tsonga fell, with the German team they were facing missing their stars…Tommy Haas and P. Kolshreiber.  Hey, wait a minute, Haas has dual citizenship (US and German).  Maybe Jim Courier should recruit him for team USA (I think this idea was bantered about, probably in jest, but perhaps not?)  So, tomorrow will bring some really interesting Davis Cup action, the Swiss needing to take the doubles match with their two stars in action, and then France needing to come from behind and win the doubles match and both singles matches on Sunday.  A tall order for France; I think Roger and Stan will get it done for Switzerland!

Interesting news greeted us last night as far as late night TV..David Letterman announced his retirement.  He chose last night to do so, with non other than Johnny Depp as one of the guests.  Really good show with Depp appearing…his film Transcendence will be out April 18th.  Loved the exchange about the “kiddies” and comments on Depp wearing a female engagement ring.  It would seem the first ring he bought for his fiance, Amber Heard, was too big so he decided he would wear it and yes, of course, she is sporting a gorgeous sparkler on her ring finger.  One thing about Johnny Depp, he is so giving when it comes to his fans. He always shows up at the Kid Choice Awards, MTV Awards, Teen Choice Awards, you name it, he is there!  Also, what a huge talent!!!!  Very sad to see Dave go next year but well done and god speed!

Tonight, one of my favorite TV shows returns, Unforgettable with Poppy Montgomery and Dylan Walsh.  It airs on CBS at 8:00 pm EST.  If you are not already a fan, check it out!!

Until later…

Apologies to NBA fans…big news from last night.  San Antonio Spurs nineteen game winning streak was snapped by OKC, 106-94.  Bummer, but great night for Kevin Durant, 26 points!

Surviving “Paradise” Wednesday

Posted on April 5, 2014 by susan

t is Wednesday and you all know what that means…Surviving “Paradise” the book day!  On Friends, there was once the reference to “Naked Wednesdays”  Here, it is Surviving “Paradise” Wednesday!!  OK, I get it..maybe naked Wednesdays sounds more exciting, but please check out my book Surviving “Paradise” by Susan Willoch Shaver.  It is a funny, entertaining story full of some “dark” drama about a southern woman who relocates to a new neighborhood in southwest Florida only to be met by a ridiculous set of people and circumstances.  It is available at Amazon.com for $8.99 in paperback, $3.03 kindle edition (gone down in price!) and $4.99 at Barnes and Noble nook.  Please give it try. I bet you will enjoy!

Speaking of “dark” drama, ABC hit Nashville is back tonight with a new episode at 10:00 pm EST.  Full of family dysfunction (yuck, but entertaining on TV), the country music world and a great cast.  It is one of the latest and greatest nighttime soap operas.  Surviving “Paradise” is a bit like a soap opera…but maybe more like living a Lifetime movie, or maybe like a real life experience, especially if you have ever had a really bad neighbor experience.

Thanks and have a great night!

How I Met Your Mother finale, Tiger forced to withdraw from Masters

Posted on April 5, 2014 by susan

After nine entertaining (and sometimes would you just get on with it please!) years, the popular CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother answered our question(s) last night with it’s final episode.  Twitter and other social media lit up with a wide variety of reactions…from outrage to praise.  Imagine that…a difference of opinion on an entertainment show!  Well, I found it bittersweet and I DID like the ending.  Spoiler alert for anyone who has not yet seen…Marshall and Lilly have their third child, Marshall not only becomes a judge but also will make a run for Supreme Court judge.  Barney and Robin do marry…and it lasts three years.  Barney later becomes a Dad to a daughter after one of his “epic” flings.  Ted does introduce himself to the girl with the yellow umbrella (who was in the band that played at Robins and Barney’s wedding) and they do marry, seven years later and after two kids.  But tragically she falls ill (not disclosed) and passes away.  Aunt Robin has remained in their lives, Ted’s life and the kid’s lives, and well, as you might expect…the kids finally tell him enough already Dad…it’s time to marry Aunt Robin.  Timing was always off for those two, but you knew they were meant for each other in a special way.  So, unlike many, I say yes, great ending!!

Really glad to see CBS will bring back one of my favorite shows, Unforgettable, with Poppy Montgomery and Dylan Walsh this Friday at 8:00 pm EST.  Carrie Wells never forgets anything, well there is one thing she cannot completely remember.  Also, speaking of meant for each other…

In the world of tennis…the focus turns to David Cup action, most specifically Geneva, Switzerland where the Swiss will take on Kazakhstan with action starting on Friday (indoor hard court).  The Swiss have their best chance in many years to take the Davis Cup this year and world #3 Stan Wawrinka is really wanting it to happen.  He will be joined by that other Swiss guy, Roger Federer, now having continued his move back up the rankings and sitting at #4 just behind Stan.  Let’s go Swiss!!

Finally, no it is not a bad joke, a bad April fools day hoax, Tiger Woods has been forced to withdraw from the Masters which gets underway April 10th.  He underwent minor back surgery on Monday (is any back surgery really ever minor?).  His procedure was to relieve a pinched nerve caused by an extended disc and many athletes have had this exact procedure and returned.  Would expect nothing less from Tiger Woods.  Unfortunately, he will miss the Masters and some other tournaments as well.  The US Open in June will remain a question.  Normal rehab time is anywhere from three to six months.  Really bummed to not see Tiger in Augusta.  Speedy recovery, but take your time, Tiger!  We want him back at full strength…best as he can be for sure!

This weekend, the Final Four convenes in Dallas, at Jerry World.  U Conn vs. Florida and Wisconsin vs. Kentucky.  Picks?  Um..since my brackets is totally busted (except Florida who I did pick to win it all) I am going with Florida and Kentucky (hard to pick against them) and then an all SEC title game with Florida winning!  We shall see..

Until later…

NCAA Final Four set, Djokovic over Nadal, and more!

Posted on March 30, 2014 by admin

The Final Four is set…Florida (over Dayton, 62-52, yes the clock struck midnight for this year’s Cinderella); Wisconsin over Arizona, 64-63 in OT ( I was pulling for Arizona); U Conn over Michigan State, 60-54; and finally, late this afternoon in a thriller, Kentucky over Michigan State, 75-72.  Harrison shot the game winning three point shot with a hand in his face with 2.6 seconds left.  Good defense, great offense?  WOW!!  So these four teams head to the Final Four next weekend in “north Texas”!  How does your bracket look now?  Mine has one…Florida…who I also have as the Champion.  Stay tuned…if this weekend is any indication, it should be awesome!

In Miami, Novak Djokovic took the title in the Sony Open…with relative ease over Rafael Nadal, 6-3, 6-3.  Nole was clinical over Nadal and he is now definitely on a roll.  He lost in Dubai to Federer (yes!), then won a tough three set match (3rd set tie break) over Fed at Indian Wells, and now his second title in a row in Miami.  We will head to the clay court season with the road to Roland Garros beginning…after a little Davis Cup action this week.  Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka will both be in action for the Swiss in Geneva.  Meanwhile, Djokovic makes a strong statement with today’s relatively easy win over Nadal…is he ready to unseat the “King of Clay” in May?  Maybe, maybe not…Rafa is almost impossible to beat on his beloved red clay and do not count out Roger either…he is back in top form and will be a factor heading into the French Open, and then the grass…Roger’s house at Wimbledon awaits in June!

Finally, the Indy Race series got underway today in St. Petersburg, Florida.  It was surreal to see Dario Franchitti working for team Gnassi, not driving.  Those of you who follow this sport know that Dario suffered a horrific accident last year in Houston and was told by his doctors that he could not (no matter what) continue racing.  He was heartbroken (as were his fans).  Non the less, he remains a part of the Gnassi Target race team and was on hand today to see his old nemesis, Will Power take the first race of the year.  Power was followed by Ryan Hunter-Reay, then Helio Castoneves and finally, Scott Dixon in fourth, Dario’s former racing partner.  Tony Kanaan (last year’s Indy 500 winner) now drives the number 10 Target car for Gnassi…really hard and strange to see!  Great race, not a Will Power fan, but congrats to the winner…hope Dixon can have a good year and have to say, it is not the same without Dario behind the wheel.  (His ex, Ashley Judd, has not stopped screaming as her beloved Kentucky Wildcats made the Final Four today!)

Until later…
