Back Day, Spurs and USA Soccer

In the last 24 hours the sports world has seen two teams get "monkeys off their backs".

The San Antonio Spurs proved that a better overall team and coach can overcome the play of the best basketball player in the world. Despite a strong performance by LeBron James the San Antonio Spurs won the best of seven series 4-1 to win the NBA Championship. That was the Spurs' fifth NBA Championship.

The USA Men's Soccer Team won their opening match against Ghana 2-1 in World Cup play in Brazil. It was a dramatic victory, but it was made even better because the Ghanaian team had eliminated the USA in the last two World Cup tournaments. It was impressive how many athletic injuries there were on the field for Team USA, the worst being a serious hamstring strain that forced forward Josie Altidore out of the game in the first half.

Today's quote is from "Mr. Padre" Tony Gwynn who passed away today from cancer. Tony attributed his salivary gland cancer to his long time use of smokeless tobacco.

"Remember these two things: Play hard and have fun."
