No shining moments in that Hawks/ Heat Game 7. Atlanta won easily.
So too, the Nuggets in the first game of that second round series with Dallas.
Ho Hum!
(Which is to not even mention that Tiger Whatisname played a mediocre final 18 in that Means Absolutely Nothing PGA Open.)
Ah, but the NHL Stanley Cup is most always [...]

. . . to jump into Derby week, he’s baaaaaaaaaack!
Okay, I know I’ve been out of town for the weekend, but, hey, deal with it. A guy’s gotta get some soft shell crab, crawfish and New Orleans gris-gris into his system for rejeuvenation. Slide guitar master John Mooney doing “Shortenin’ Bread” will free your soul, [...]
First of all, understand, I’m not doing this to be mean. The individual and team I rooted for both lost. So it’s not like I’m trying to pile on. (I gotta do something to keep you readers involved.)

Underdog Miami, which has never won an NCAA title [...]
The Anaheim Mighty Ducks secured the last post-season playoff spot in the Western Division last night.
For reference purposes, I’m talking about the National Hockey League and the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which, because of the low scoring nature of the game, are far and away the most exciting of any of the pro sports’ post seasons.
Anyway, [...]
Here’s what Kentucky’s duly elected Secretary of State — and future U.S. Senate hopeful — Trey Grayson had to say at his Twitter page about the end of the UK/ LSU game:
“Maybe AJ Stewart should consider quitting again if he is going to leave his man wide open for a game winning shot.”
Well, KYTrey certainly [...]

The National Hockey League rarely makes good publicity decisions. It hasn’t really been able to expand the narrow fan base of this extraordinary sport. Even a couple of years ago when just about every meaningful game in the Stanley Cup playoffs went to OT. More’s the pity.
That said, somebody thought of playing a hocky game [...]
