Cleveland did what was expected since opening day of the NBA season... they made it to the NBA Finals representing the Eastern Conference for the second year in a row. Honestly, I am surprised that they had any kind of issues with Toronto but I will tell you what.... if they thought the Raptors posed challenges, they better figure something out. The Warriors or Thunder are going to make the Raptors look like the local rec league team?!

There was an amazing story the other day on the Sportscenter with Scott Van Pelt that everyone should watch. I know that football is a dangerous sport. People get injured everyday and the head trauma that causes CTE is terrible. I get that. But, for the folks who wonder what good comes out of a sport like football... please watch this video about the Benton Harbor Tigers and their retired 74-year old coach. Elliot Uzelac showed up and showed these kids what it is like to have someone care about them. There is no Cinderella in this world, but you will not be disappointed and if you are like me, you will probably get a little choked up.

Let me get a few things out before a bunch of Mass-holes bombard me with their crap. The New England Patriots are a great franchise. Belichick is a Hall of Fame coach. Tom Brady is far and away one of the best quarterbacks that has ever played the game and a first ballot Hall of Famer when he is done. No doubt about it. Do ALL football teams try to find an edge to exploit over their opponents? Hell yes they do. The Patriots have just been caught doing some of these things in Spy-Gate and now Deflate-Gate. Those things do not phase me at all. My issue is with Robert Kraft and his flip flopping comments since this whole ball deflation, clown car, dumpster fire fiasco has come out. First, Kraft says they will accept their punishment. Then once the punishment does come down, he freaks out. Kraft blasted the league saying that the Patriots will fight Brady's suspension and the loss of draft picks. Then in May, he hugs it out with Roger Goodell on a couch at the owners' meetings and decides that they WON'T fight it and take their medicine. Then yesterday Goodell upholds Brady's four game suspension and Kraft comes out today saying that he is pissed?! Robert Kraft: Go away, shut up and watch Belichick win those first four games with Jimmy Garoppolo under center.
