-The Heat are going to win the NBA championship and Dan Gilbert is going end up eating his own words. It has nothing to do with Miami's 92-84 win last night in game one of the NBA Finals. It has nothing to do with the fact Dirk tore a tendon in his non-shooting hand. Why I am crowning Miami's ass already is that Dallas has no one who knows how to get to the mountain top. Many of their key guys have been to Finals (Kidd, Dirk, etc.) but none have ever won the title like DWade has. Now, you may be saying, "Neither has LeBron or Bosh," and you'd be right. And while I can't defend Bosh here, we can't forget how much LeBron carried Cleveland for years. He knows how to win, whether we want him to or not.
-The Atlanta Thrashers are headed north to Winnipeg , Manitoba. That's in Canada for the geographically challenged. The city and people of Atlanta could not care less while the people of the north could not be more ecstatic. Take a look at the two screen shots from this morning. The top one is from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's website, Atlanta's biggest newspaper. The other is from the Winnipeg Free Press's website, Winnipeg's go-to birdcage liner. Click the pictures to make them larger, if you must. See a difference?
-Terrell Pryor's hot wheels are now where the NCAA is doing most of it's lookin'. I have a feeling shit is going to get really messy. I just hope Tressel's hair doesn't move.
-Cliff Lee fell to 4-5 with a pedestrian 3.94 ERA following a 10-2 loss to the Nationals in which Danny Espinosa took the Arkansas native yard twice.
-Go fuck yourself, Rockies.
-Poor RA Dickey. The guy was magnificent, his knuckleball dancing in the wind, making batters look silly. Then the eight inning came about and he lost it. With two out in the frame, Dickey let three runs plate turning a 1-0 lead into a 3-1 hole. The Mets would go on to lose 5-1.
-Curtis Granderson has to be on the juice. There is NO other explanation. Granderson knocked in four RBI, including a two run shot in the first, as the Empire romped the A's, 10-3.
-Gary Carter, one of the good guys in all of sport, was diagnosed with glioblastoma, inoperable malignant brain tumors. Doctors are starting on the former Expo/Met/Giant/Dodger on a regiment of aggressive chemo and radiation therapy. Good luck, Gary.
-With both the World Cup and the Summer Olympics (and hopefully the 2022 Winter Games!) creeping up on them, Brazil is looking to expand three of its biggest airports to accommodate the rush of people that will be flooding their country. How easy is security at a Brazilian airport? Doesn't everyone just where thongs and bikinis? Is there anywhere to even hide a weapon?
-We'll start caring about the French Open shortly, once it's almost over. Until then here are more adequate commentators on the sport previewing the Soderling/Nadal and Federer/Djokovic semis.
