Psssst. Hey! Wake up, man. JR Smith simply can NOT have a ring, OK?

Lightning quick today.  Things to do, and will have time to go more in depth over the weekend…

1.  90% of the time during the playoffs I am WAITING for the next game to come because there is so much time in between games.  In this case, I am not happy the game is on a Friday night.
2. Warriors regroup and take this one.  Yes, the last win was big time for the Cavs, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves on who the better team is.
3. But, LeBron could do something special.
4. Warriors will win this one…probably close.
5. Pens and Sharks are NOW going the seven games I initially thought, so the stars are aligned.  Sharks defend home ice to force a deciding game.
6. Read the article on best uni’s in each conference in college football.  Good stuff.  It was on ESPN.
7. I notice the difference in diary entries significantly of Draymond Green after wins and losses…go figure.
8. Going to the Irish Snug for happy hour in a bit.  Yes, Hoban, I also worked at a bar and we also gave everyone who put their business cards in a fish bowl a “won” happy hour, but it will have free food…I don’t care about the “winning” thing.
9. More on both over the weekend, but odd day when legend Gordie Howe dies on the same day when the Ali funeral honoring is going on.
10. Both.  Badasses.  More this weekend on Gordie.  I wrote about Ali in past blogs.  When one gets the name GOAT, and the other is called Mr. Hockey, that is saying something.
11. Copa on now, and Euro coming…right now.  Love country soccer tournaments.  France is hosting and has the best team, but it WILL be fun to watch.
12. Roddy White is happy and unemployed, but says here he has a voicemail coming soon from the Pats.
13. BIG US soccer match this weekend, folks.
14. Trent Richardson, when asked about his future aspirations, said Hall of Fame or bust.  Yes, THAT Trent Richardson.  The one with a career 3.3 YPC.
15. I don’t know if the Direct TV Bon Jovi song is a real song or not, but it is growing on me and I may or may not have found myself singing it when the commercial is NOT on.
16. I hear that Brock O did NOT attend the Broncos ring ceremony.  Now THAT is a little rude.
17. Hey, Jimmy Rollins, I hope you are getting everything you need from your new gig with the White Sox.  What’s that?  What?  You were DESIGNATED FOR ASSIGNMENT.  Ha.  Too funny.
18. ESPN changed the article wording so maybe it was an ESPN error, but at publishing of this blog, it said Eagles WR Nelson Agholor is being investigated for sexual assault at a strip club with a stripper AT THREE PM.  THREE PM.  Wow, dude.
19. If you haven’t read that document from the Stanford swimmer sexual assault court case, read it.  Powerful stuff I am telling you.
20. Hey, THANKS, LeBron, for letting us know that Kevin Love starting or not “is up to Lue.”  He is the freaking coach.  Thanks though.
21. Love coming off the bench might create matchup problems and they should explore that.  Highest priced bench guy in a while…
22. There is ANOTHER Baylor rape case that came out today?  Wow.  Going down hard is that religious school.
23. Seriously, why aren’t they putting ads on Steph’s mouthguard?
24. More this weekend.  Gotta go.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.  Peace.
