Hmm...

There isn't a whole lot going on in the world of NFL. A former Lion passed away, Farve goes to mini-camp, Moss shows up in Foxboro, Devin Hester is going to run routes at WR, etc... Fortunately, before we know it, preseason will rear its head and fantasy drafts will begin (joy!). Until then, though, other sports take precedence.

The Spurs won their first game of the series against the Jazz. This series probably won't be too exciting, Spurs win it in 5 games and go on to win ANOTHER ring, unless Lebron James can finally be a superstar.

The Cavs play the Pistons tonight and I'm torn on this. The Cavs can win because the Pistons tend to go on cruise control for 2-4 games. That fact, coupled with Lebron, could lead the Cavs to their first Finals in a LONG-LONG time. The Bulls never let them in the 90s, so it must be before then.

In other sports news, Roger Federer (best tennis player on Earth) finally beat his arch-nemesis, Raphael Nadal, on Nadal's preferred surface. No, it wasn't a major, but it is a big deal. 1) Nadal had a streak of 81 matches won on clay. 2) Nadal had beaten Federer 5 or 6 times in a row, prior, on clay - including 2 French Open victories. 3) The French Open begins next week and what better confidence boost going in than to beat a man the week before on the same surface? If Federer dominates like he just did on clay, he will win his 1st French Open, complete his career grand slam, have 11 total grand slam victories and be that much closer to greatest of all time.

In hockey, the Senators are in the Cup Finals and await either the Ducks or Red Wings. As fars as I know, the Ducks are leading the series 3-2, so Detroit fans... lament. I don't have much to say here, because I don't know much about hockey. I know that the Ducks have fun uniforms and the team didn't come about until after the movie (I'm pretty sure) and that movie was pretty sweet. I also know that an old friend of mine used to dress me up in hockey/football gear and slap pucks at me in his mother's living room. I was a functional goalie. Sports are awesome.

I'll be doing my best to watch Cavs-Pistons tonight. Please, Lebron, show up. Prove you are a bona-fide superstar, not an over-commercialized, 30 point averaging, blowhard. Seriously. Elevate your game.

Sooner than later, Mike will post a link to our very first podcast. Enjoy listening and make sure to comment about how you think it went.
