The Best In Sports In 7 Days

Unlike some formerly employed sports writers, there is no doubt I am a real person. Now, being a good writer—that is up for debate.

Thursday, May 10
Women's softball (7-9 p.m. ESPN): See an SEC Softball Tournament quarterfinal from Tuscaloosa, Ala. The SEC has been one of the best women's softball conferences but has not broken through for a national title.

Friday, May 11
Arena Football (7-10 p.m. NFL Network): Get your football fix with the Arena Football League as the Cleveland Gladiators take on the Milwaukee Mustangs in Wisconsin.

Saturday, May 12
NASCAR (5:30-10 p.m. Fox): The Southern 500 from Darlington Speedway in South Carolina. Regan Smith won last year, and this is one of two tracks where Tony Stewart has no wins.

Sunday, May 13
PGA Tour Golf (1-6 p.m. NBC): Watch final round coverage of the $9.5-million Players Championship from TPC at Sawgrass in Florida, when K.J. Choi attempts to repeat his win from last year.

Monday, May 14
MLB (6-9 p.m. SportSouth): TheAtlanta Braves face the Cincinnati Reds in a battle of second-place teams in their divisions. The Braves are in second place in National League East, and the Reds are second in NL Central.

Tuesday, May 15
Documentary (8-9 p.m. ESPN 2): Part of the ESPN 30 for 30 series, "Little Big Men" is about the 1982 Little League World Series championship team from Kirkland, Wash.

Wednesday, May 16
Documentary (7-8 p.m. ESPN 2): Another ESPN 30 for 30 film, "June 17, 1994" looks back at a crazy day in sports that featured the Rangers celebration parade after the team won the Stanley Cup and the O.J. Simpson low-speed chase that interrupted the NBA Playoffs.

Happy Mother's Day to all moms out there. Why else would I list golf as the best thing to watch on a Sunday?
