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.

Pretty psyched for John Kasich's win in his home state of Ohio. The guy may never get the nomination for the GOP but he has been the only person that has stuck to a positive campaign. While others have been inciting violence against protestors exercising their First Amendment rights, Kasich remains positive in his message. Of course, that is why he will never get elected. The same cannot be said for Marco Rubio who went off script, negatively attacked Donald Trump and in the end lost his home state of Florida.... badly. Now his Presidential run is over.

Hilarious Weekend Observations segment by Stu Gotz today on the Dan LeBatard Show on ESPN Radio. I almost fell out of my chair at work with this: "DING. If Peyton Manning did take HGH, DING. MAN, he got a bad batch!" Peyton had nothing left and almost couldn't wait to get off the field in the hopes that Von Miller and Company would generate some more points on defense! In the end, as time passes and memories fade all we will remember is that Peyton won his second Superbowl.... and maybe we will forget the Budweiser endorsement, kissing Papa John or Eli's stunned face as the rest of his family celebrated?!

Trump came in second in Iowa.... and of course he cannot handle that. How did that happen?! Of course Ted Cruz must've cheated?! Was there a Tweet by the Cruz campaign saying that Ben Carson might be dropping out? Yes. Was that false? Yes. Carson was flying from Iowa to Florida for a "fresh change of clothes"?! Did that effect the course of the Iowa Caucuses?! Probably not. But Trump wants a whole new Iowa caucus!
My friends and I compared Trump to North Korea. "No one is paying attention to us! Someone set off a hydrogen bomb, damn it!" Or as my buddy Mike corrected me, "Lets SAY we set off a hydrogen bomb but really just throw 3000 packs of Pop-Rocks into a vat of Diet Coke." The man is a megalomaniac.
