The NBA Playoffs are in full swing and possibly about to end. The playoffs have gone just as I expected, with LA and Boston matched up and Boston taking the title. The Celtics came back from 24 last night and stole one in LA to take a 3-1 lead. Kobe who? Jordan would not have let that happen on his home floor. Anyhow, the Celts could wrap it up Sunday in LA or take it in one of the last 2 games in Boston next week. Oh- I like the dudes at work who wear a different hat every year depending on who is in the finals or who the hot team is at the time. What is that?
Man, the whole triple crown thing turned out to be a major letdown. I was seriously hoping to see Big Brown win the Belmont and capture the Triple Crown. Not even close. With all the crap his trainer Dutrow was talking before the race and the whole cracked hoof deal, it sure was disappointing seeing jockey Kent Desormeaux pull him up during the race to finish last. Nobody knows what happened. Nobody. Or at least no one is admitting anything. But I'm sure somebody somewhere knows what happened and I bet they are rich now. Maybe. But did Big Brown run out of gas? Was it the effect of him being taken off steroids? Was it the hoof? Was the race fixed? Who knows. But there's too much shady stuff going on around this horse, like the trainer with a shady past and the shady owners, IEAH Stables and the shady use of steroids. I thought it was funny how Rick Dutrow was so arrogant and cocky leading up to Belmont, then didn't have a word to say after the race and then started finger pointing at the jockey when he did start talking. Dude, relax. Go away. I'm glad I won't have to hear anything from that jackass for a while...
You know, all sports seem to be affected by some type of cheating. I mean, are the NBA Playoffs fixed? I bet some games were. Now that former ref Tim Donaghy has been busted for betting on and fixing games, he's squealing like a pig saying that there's more people doing it and more games were fixed than anybody realizes. Is he telling the truth? Maybe. Is NBA commish David Stern doing a good job of damage control? Of course- he's got the whole DC thing down in his league. But I bet there's tons of sporting events that are fixed, like boxing. It's all shady. Sports scandals are running rampid these days. Just look at the condition of pro cycling lately or the cloud over the Tour de France the last few years. Shady. Steroids in baseball and football. Shady. But you know what, it's still entertainment.
Cheers to cheating!
NOT!
