FUNAI CLASSIC AT WALT DISNEY WORLD
Tiger Woods is skipping this event, but our other kat, Camilo Villegas is on the leader board. The Funai Classic runs from the 19th-22nd, and we can only hope that there are plenty of astute photographers capturing Camilo’s every crawl. More Camilo news, as promised, about the upcoming Stanford St. Jude Championships. Huston based Stanford Financial Group is the new title sponsor of the event, (formerly the FedEx St. Jude Classic) which runs June 4-10. The event needed a little “re-energizing” and turned to Stanford Group endorser Camilo Villegas for some help. Matt Young & Memphis based Chung Designs, have come up with a tantalizing Camilo campaign to sell the event, including TV and print ads. Obviously, even without this campaign, I expect to see all of you there. Look for the spots to break in January…and yes, before you email me asking for a ‘preview’ of the spots, I’m trying, so sit back, relax, and book your trip to Memphis.

DAVID ORTIZ PLAYS WIFFLE BALL

He may appear a bit scary, but Big Papi is all love. Yesterday, Red Sox beast David Ortiz played wiffle ball with 30 kids in an event paid for by three Harvard Business School grads. The grad’s paid 30k at an auction by Good Sports Inc, who last year collected and donated over $1.2 million worth of sporting goods for city kids. Good Sports Inc is a non-profit company, which has partnered with the sexy beast, Ortiz, to help in his native Dominican Republic, among others.

NBA HOT POINTS

The Milwaukee Bucks spread some love yesterday as they helped students do their homework at the Daniels-Mardak Boys & Girls Club in Milwaukee. Dan Gadzuric signed autographs and gave my libido a tickle. But when I saw Andrew Bogut…it was all over.

The appeal of these hotties was not lost on the students, particularly that of Andrew Bogut. If he walked into my classroom, I’m pretty sure I would be expelled for dropping my pencil under the desk and going to look for it.

ANDY RODDICK

Andy Roddick and his belly defeated Sebastien Grosjean at the ATP Masters Series tourney in Madrid today. Roddick defeated the Frenchy in two sets, which leaves him plenty of time to get to the gym and work on those abs.
