The Bucks head to New York tonight for a

in the NBA’s Eastern Conference playoff race.

Round two of The Masters is
underway at Augusta National.   Jordan
Spieth fired a first round eight under par 64 to hold a three shot lead over
Justin Rose, Charley Hoffman, Ernie Els and Jason Day.  Phil Mickelson is at -2 and Rory McIlroy
-1.  Steve Stricker and Tigers Woods were
+1 for their first round.   Golf legend

The Packers released a
preliminary preseason schedule on Thursday.  
Between August 13^th and 17^th they head to New England.  They
travel to Pittsburgh
between August 20^th and 24^th.  Their Lambeau debut will be against the
Eagles between August 27^th and 30^th.  They wrap up the preseason at home against New Orleans on September
3^rd or 4^th.  With
no national TV games lets hope they don’t schedule again games on Friday night
against high school football.  The
regular season schedule comes out later this month.
