Thursday, June 13th, 2013 The San Antonio Spurs only take control of the NBA finals if they win game 4 on Thursday night, but that's not going to happen. The Spurs enjoying a blowout win on Tuesday night was just the wake up call LeBron James needed. Watch LeBron go off for 30 to even the series at two games apiece. If the Spurs continue to give LeBron the outside shot they will get burnt. And let's face it the Spurs are not going to make 16 three's again in this series. The NBA finals is far from over.
Wednesday, June 12th, 2013 I think Tim Tebow could be a good fit with the Patriots. If anybody can come up with a game plan to utilize his talents it's New England head coach Bill Belichick. I can't see Tebow playing tight end or running back, and how many snaps can he actually get playing behind Tom Brady? All good questions. This move is not a publicity stunt, that's not how Belichick rolls. If he thinks Tebow can help his team win games, then Tebow will land a roster spot. If not, then Tebow won't play in the NFL this season.
Tuesday, June 11th, 2013 I wonder if David Wright is having second thoughts about wanting to finish his career with the Mets? The face of franchise has to wonder if and when its going to better in Flushing. The Mets are such a mess right now its hard to even think of them and the playoffs in the same sentence. Wright is a very good player on a bad team, and unfortunatley if wants to make a run at a World Series title before his career is over, he needs to end up findng another team.
Monday, June 10th, 2013 We made it through horse racings Triple Crown series and unless I am over looking someone, no one as solidified itself as the best in the three year old division. Which means its wide open heading to Saratoga in just a little over a month from now. It's way to early to say, but with it being so wide open maybe it sets up well for the Travers. Don't want rush your summer but the best meet in the country is right around the corner.
