The Warriors won last night in Cleveland. That means the Cavaliers need to win the next three games, two of which will be in Oakland. I just don't see that happening. But, Steph and the Warriors overcame a 3-1 deficit against the Thunder to get to the Finals. Impossible? No. Likely? No. LeBron needs to stop driving the lane and making crappy passes and dominate the smaller players of the Warriors by driving to the hoop. Unless that happens, the Dubs will just hang on to that trophy, thank you very much.
"Mr. Hockey" Gordie Howe died at 88 years old. The amazing thing to me is that Howe remained competitive at professional hockey until he was FIFTY-TWO years old? Is there any other athlete that has done something like that? Thirty goals scored at fifty-two? When Gretzky calls you "The greatest hockey player ever...." that is enough said.

I wonder if Trump had finished first in Iowa if he would be so impressed with Cruz finishing #2?! What am I talking about? I don't need to wonder.... I KNOW he would be gloating and rubbing everyone's nose in his victory. I am not excited about Ted Cruz by any stretch of the imagination... but at least Trump isn't all over the news today! What a nice break!

Yesterday's Michigan loss to Michigan State was the worst loss I have seen in college football. The Auburn return of a missed field goal to beat Alabama in the Iron Bowl was bad... but it felt good to watch Saban's jaw hit the turf. Yesterday was just ugly and sad... unless you are a Spartan's fan.

Jonathan Papelbon just cost himself millions of dollars of future earnings. There is being a hot head and someone that your teammates don't like.... and then there is attacking the franchise player on your team on television?!
