Old School vs. New School: NBA Conference Finals...
WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS It’s a battle of old school versus new school in the Western Conference Finals as the good ol’ San Antonio Spurs look for a fifth championship while the young Seattle Super Sonics….errr, Oklahoma City Thunder strive to make their first-ever trip to the NBA Finals. Both teams have only ONE loss between them through the first two rounds of the playoffs, a...

Angels vs Devils: Stanley Cup Final Preview
From their colors to their coasts, the Devils and Kings couldn’t be more different, yet in other areas, these teams have quite a bit in common, especially their underdog status. Nobody expected the No. 6 seed Devils, or worse, the No. 8 seed Kings to be around in June playing for the Stanley Cup, but alas, here we are, with Jersey and L.A. as the last teams standing.
Historically...

Rocket Science: How Bleach Blonde Hair And A Pool...
You might want to think twice the next time you ask your favorite celebrity to take a photo with you. The keepsake could land you smack dab in the middle of a federal trial. Wrapping its sixth week of testimony, the Roger Clemens perjury trial remains slow (two jurors were dismissed for falling asleep), complex (scientific experts used the number “quintillion” during testimony) and...

NFL Wide Receiver Tweets HIV Test Results Photo
Bravo David Clowney. Wow, never thought you’d see that sentence in print, did ya? Ya, me either, especially not after Clowney landed in hot water for tweeting “kill yourself dude” to an online heckler. But we are a nation of forgiveness and second (okay, third, fourth and maybe fifth) chances, right? Right! I think the Buffalo Bills wide receiver deserves a gold star or two for...

ECF Game 3: Lundqvist Shines As Rangers Top Devils
They say history often repeats itself and the New York Rangers are living proof of it. The Rangers’ third-round playoff series against the New Jersey Devils has mimicked the first two seesaw-like rounds in which the East’s No. 1 seed won the first game, lost the second, and rebounded for a Game 3 victory. The home team Devils actually dominated the first two periods showing plenty...

California Dreaming: How L.A. Can Take Down The...
Who could’ve seen this coming? Every resident Staples Center team has made it out of the first round of the playoffs, each team finding itself as the lower seed the rest of the way. It’s crazy but true as the Lakers, Clippers and Kings are all on a roll, the hockey team, shockingly, finding the most success in the post-season thus far. For now, we’ll set our sights on...

Orioles, Nats and Dodgers: Next Stop, The Twilight...
You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension. L.A. Dodgers. Washington Nationals. Cleveland Indians. Baltimore Orioles.
Major League Baseball has entered the Twilight Zone. Many of baseball’s typical cellar dwellers have played their way to the top of their respective divisions, leaving fans and pundits alike eye-rubbing and head-shaking. The...

NBA Playoff Round Robin
Nuggets at Lakers, Game 7
The Lakers need to get a grip. Now. On one hand, I’m not worried because I’ve seen this sad act before. The last time the Lakers won an NBA title, the Houston Rockets took them to seven games in the first-round series, which was in no way indicative of what was to come in the rest of the playoffs. We all know the Lakers are superior to the Nuggets,...
