Jeff Tiberii

Every Monday on 88.5 WFDD, Jeff Tiberii brings you sports commentaries of a different kind. Some are serious, some focus on local topics and some, we hope, will make you laugh. All are designed to make us think, talk and explore the depth of an element of our lives we too often take at face value.

Woven into our everyday lives, sport can help us examine issues of ethnicity, religion, socio-economic class, sexual orientation and gender. It also lets us root for the underdog, the hometown team and athletes we personally know.

This weekend in sports Tiger Woods hit a birdie put on the final hole of a major golf championship forcing an 18-hole playoff; Dale Earnhardt Jr snapped his 76 race winless streak claiming his first victory for Hendrick Motorsports and the Celtics and Lakers continued to battle in the NBA finals. Ho-hum, just another weekend in sports … Believe it or not, this week’s sports commentary honors an event even rarer than those.
