Gang, another stellar week. We're moving quickly this morning because the 5-at-10 clan is heading South for a week. So, next week will be an abbreviated 5-at-10 with top-5 lists and such. If you have a specific top-5 list you'd like to see, send it along.

Gang, remember the Friday mailbag and post any questions in the comments, email the sports editor at jgreeson@timesfreepress.com or send them along the Twitter (@jgreesontfp) if you're so inclined.

From the "Talks too much" studios, we believe that children are the future, teach them well and let them lead the way.

From the "Talks too much" studios, if you bring the pain, we'll bring the pain reliever.

Hope you managed to stay dry this weekend. And if you did, thanks for reading from whatever area outside of the South from which you are reading.

I love these lists. Lists of stat leaders, lists of the all-time bests and the all-time worsts.

Before we get to the Friday Mailbag, we offer a shout out to Uptown Hugh Brown, who we met last night at T-Ball and who offered the clear 5-at-10 high sign of "Don't cost nothin'" in between innings. Well-played, sir, well-played indeed.

As if they needed an extra advantages, the Miami Heat are sitting and resting and waiting for the rest of the Eastern Conference to get done with the slow dance that has become round 1. So, too are the San Antonio Spurs. Each team is the favorite to get to the NBA Finals.

5-at-10: Hudson's place, SEC QBs, a Derby contest to win stuff

OK, we're committed to admitting that there is more to sports than the draft. Allegedly.

We're wearing black today. The draft is done. Sigh.

Wow, it's been a great week, capped by a crazy, history-making first round of the NFL draft. We got inspired and played on The Twitter (@jgreesontfp) last night during the draft. We likely will do some more of that again tonight.

Since this is a holiday and all, we appreciate you checking in since today really is about family and freedom and expressing the joy and celebration of a day of this merit and being with people you love.

It's here and it's all happening.

It's here and it's all happening. We're back on the radio today at 1 p.m. with David Paschall on ESPN 105.1. We're going to have UTC football coach Russ Huesman in studio today at the 1 o'clock hour to get things going.

Hope your weekend was as good as ours. Great weather. The T-Ball Bulls delivered another fine performance. We finished writing a book. Planted some hydrangeas. Grilled some red meat.

Gang, great week. Simply excellent. From the Masters to the spring games to the draft, it's here.

It's here. It's all happening. Please remember the mailbag for Friday, we have a spot or three open as we speak.

Hey gang, remember Friday's mailbag and feel free to offer any ideas for the NFL draft contest. We love the draft; you know this.

Well, we've done exactly one radio show. We believe it went pretty well, and if you missed the debut, David Paschall and the sports editor are going to go again today at 1 p.m. on ESPN 105.1 FM here in town. The call-in number is 648-1051, if you want to chat. Radio activity... we like that.

Wow, what a great finish to the Masters, huh? Did anyone else feel like the first 2/3 of Sunday's broadcast was a little slow and we were headed for a three-shot Angel Cabrera win in which every other contender fell back?

AUGUSTA, Ga. — If you watched the final round of the Masters, three things became ever-clear by Sunday night.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — There were 61 of golf's best players at Augusta National on Saturday

Wow, this Tiger thing is crazy. It has officially overwhelmed Twitter.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods has been assessed a two-shot penalty for taking an improper drop on the 15th hole Friday.

UGUSTA, Ga. — It's hard not to like Tianlang Guan, the 14-year-old eighth-grader from China who has done the unthinkable the last two days at the Masters.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Craziness continues at the Masters.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Several familiar names — Dustin Johnson, Fred Couples and Jim Furyk — have exchanged the lead on a busy day for the Masters scoreboard operators at Augusta National Golf Course.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — From the Richmond County satellite office of the “Talks too much studios,” fore please the 5-at-10 now driving.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Milling about on the practice green, rolling TaylorMades and doing everything in his power to enjoy the moment and forget the massive magnitude of it, Steven Fox knew it was time.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — A torrid 31 on the back nine lifted Marc Leishman to a 6-under 66 and the first-round lead at the Masters.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- From the Richmond County satellite office of the "Talks too much studios, fore please, the 5-at-10's now driving...

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Good morning, spring. Hello, golf.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Forget the Scenic City — this week Chattanooga is Bag Land.

We're picking up stakes and taking the big red sled and TFP golf ace David Uchiyama to Augusta shortly, so we're going to be brief. We'll reconvene later this after when we get in our seat in the press building.

From the "Talks too much" studios, let make the magic happen.

Gang, buckle up. It's here; it's all happening.

Gang, excellent week of questions. Simply outstanding. We got a slew from some of our regulars and a few emails from some newcomers. It's a nice mix.

Let's get focused. We're hitting full stride in arguably the best three-week, non-football season stretch of the sports calendar.

Hey, remember the Friday mailbag. We're still on the jury duty watch but we'll keep a better eye on the happenings around the camp fire today.

Hey, remember the Friday mailbag. Side note: The 5-at-10 has been picked for jury duty today, so my stops will be at random times, so you guys play nice. And we'll tell Matlock you said hello, Chas9.

From the "Talks too much" studios, let's pour one for our boy Biz Markie... "Baby you, you got what we need, but you say he's just a friend, you say he's just a friend"

When the Atlanta Braves will open the 2013 season on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies, it will be the first opening day without Chipper Jones on the team since 1995.

News this week came down that the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga was approached by the Sun Belt Conference about the school's interest in joining Georgia Southern and Appalachian State in defecting from the Southern Conference to the wide-reaching FBS conference that is almost as big as the sun and as expanded as your Uncle Joe's belt on Thanksgiving.

So here's my question. The key factors pointed out for why the Sun Belt has interest in us is sound but one contributing factor is the fact that unlike GSU and ASU, UTC has a lot of boosters both past and present (i.e. Lookout Mountain and Cleveland) with very, deep pockets. Not to bird dog both institutions, but as Spy addressed (and App's history is the same), both schools are technically teacher academies and not known for churning out Fortune 500 CEOs.
