Turn Out The Lights

This has been a great NBA/NHL playoff season with both having multiple exciting games. I can't remember a better one in recent year. It is over though for sure after tonight. Game 7 should be a great hockey game tonight if the Penguins defense shows up. If not look for it to be a blow out again.

The Lakers could easily be down 3-1 right now with a mulligan on the Courtney Lee lob at the end of regulation in Game 2 and the entire Magic team making a couple free throws in Game 4.

What the hell is going on with these birds during night games in Cleveland? Coco can't make any excuses because he has a poop arm anyway and wouldn't have thrown the runner out. Maybe it's the reincarnation of Dick Jacobs! Red Sox continue to pown the evil empire.

Not Buying It

So the Vikings set a deadline for Favre to unretire again and play for them. So you're telling me that in a month when they realize they are screwed with Sage under center that they won't get on their knees and beg for Bret? The worst part of this whole thing is that they have a solid quarterback in TJ. Of course he needs some more work but who doesn't other than the brothers Manning? Before you even say it to yourself, think about it. Tom Brady is coming off a tough injury and still has to work to get back to what he was. Big Ben proved he is great, but he's more of a great football player that throws the ball at the correct time than a great quarterback.

As the baseball season is rolling, so are the hated Yankees. They are getting scary good and with Big Tex and Gay-Roid in the middle of the line-up, it's allowing other players to excel. But there is a lot of good baseball being played by everyone on any given day (except the Nationals, they suck).

Sorry Orlando but the season is over. They might be able to win one at home but this thing won't take longer than 5 games. ESPN.com had a poll up today asking who will win more championships in their career, Shaq and D Howard. It has be Shaq here. He already has 4 and has already let everyone know he's looking to get on a good team to win a 5th before retiring. No doubt about it Howard is the future of big men and could be one of the best ever if he polishes up his game from just off the block down low. The reason he won't win more than Shaq though is because he will never have the supporting cast for more than a year or two in his career to do it.

The NHL playoffs have been more exciting this year than in recent memory and I think it might even get better. If the Penguins can pull of Game 6 tonight then it comes down to the final game of the season. Hell yea it's tough to win in Detroit and their chances aren't great. Detroit's team is unreal but it looks like the Penguins have been playing on their heels when the Wings are on their home ice. If it goes to a 7th game I don't think they will have that same approach. It could easily be over tonight, but don't count out a great ending to a great playoff season.

Back With A Vengeance!

It's been well over a month since I have written anything. To be honest it just gets away from me and I have very little time to post. Between sleeping, working, coaching baseball, and playing call of duty online (up to a 39 since April 13), I have NO TIME!

Well now I am going to make time. For the four of you out there that have asked me where I have been, I promise to give you a post a day. It might be long, it might be short, but it will be there! It might be important, it might be stupid, but it will be there!

So for today... I don't know why I get my hopes up that my teams are going to win their championships. For the second straight year, both my NHL and NBA teams are in it, but truth is... they will probably fall again. One thing I'm not going to do though is cry over "how hard it's been", I've heard way too much of that from the Cavs fans that came out of the woodwork this year.

Kenny Chesney concert is this weekend in Pittsburgh and I can't wait. Just bought Dave Matthews and Jimmy Buffett tickets for the end of this month as well and can honestly predict that this summer has the potential to be one of the best yet.
