With Michael Kay being on vacation it reminds me that Ken Singleton > Michael Kay by a wide margin.

March through mid-June is chock full of sports craziness, then July without any football free agency, trades or camps, just a boring so called "mid-summer classic" = sports hangover pass the seltzer and OJ.

Though the NBA lockout is on, the NBA will still release it's 2011-2012 schedule which is rumored to include a Christmas day game between the Heat and Mavericks. This is another reminder of how Christmas and basketball go together like peanut butter and scallops.

Say what you will about the irrelevance of the MLB All-Star Game, but no sport knows how to waste time quite like Nascar with it's All-Star Race.

Pac Man vs Pretty Boy Floyd is easily the most anticipated bout of my lifetime, yet it isn't even scheduled to happen.

Prediction : If the Hall Of Fame Game is played on time, it will be the highest rated telecast in that event's history.

I knew that Armageddon wasn't upon us in May because Nadal and Federer still have to face each other in seventeen more Grand Slam Finals.

If your last name is Johnson and you're not a professional athlete, you're part of the smallest percentile of people with that last name.

I just read that all of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' home game broadcasts were blacked out due to poor attendance last year, maybe they should build an ugly, boring, waste of a billion dollars, grey stadium, those seem to be sold out all the time.

I don't get it, so when they left the house on their way to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals they said to eachother, "don't forget, let's bring gasoline and homemade firebombs just in case they lose"? Who does that?

"Who owns the Mets?" and "who the Mets will trade?" are bigger topics in sports news currently than how they're playing, maybe that's why the stadium is empty.

So pretty much everyone involved with televised college sports rakes in boat loads of cash except for the athletes playing the games? Awesome, that makes total sense.

I'm new to fantasy baseball but if you put a SP,RP in an RP slot, why should his Starting stats be included as well as his Relief stats? Isn't that kind of a loop hole? or is it just part of the game?

Thanks a lot NFL, no off-season means I'm paying way too much attention to fantasy baseball.

We all cheered the Mavs winning for a lot of reasons, no doubt Lebron losing was one of them for most fans. But let's remember, when was the last time an NBA season and playoffs were so important to casual sports fans? Last year there was a game seven between the two most storied franchises in the league, and there was less excitement than there was for the 2011 Finals. No matter how many fantasy teams you have, the reality is that this is entertainment, and for entertainment to be most exciting there must be a great villain, so say what you will about Lebron and his team, but I'll be thanking them for making this NBA season so exciting, and for making my friends and family watch and discuss basketball, you see the NBA is back, and whether you like it or not Lebron's villainous turn has helped bring it there.

Dan Gilbert (Cavs Owner) tweeting that there are "no shortcuts" in response to the Heat losing, is just another example of how classless he is, I can see why he didn't get a courtesy call from Lebron before "The Decision". Also...what shortcut? Is being a free agent and going to a new team a shortcut? It's not like the Heat even have as high of a payroll as the 2nd highest team on the list which happens to be the Mavs.

All in one day on Sunday, June 5th we saw arguably the best tennis players ever (Nadal & Federer), the best closer in baseball ever (Rivera), one of the best shortstops of all time (Jeter), the greatest NASCAR drivers ever (Gordon, Johnson), and arguably four of the top basketball players of all time (James, Wade, Nowitzki, Kidd). A wild day in sports it was.

The Heat-Mavericks series is nothing short of the best entertainment on television, half of that can be attributed to Magic's suits.

Stallworth spent 24 days in jail after killing a guy. Plax gets 2 years for shooting himself in the leg, that makes a ton of sense.

I'll never understand public opinion when it comes to pro sports - Vick goes to jail for running a dog killing camp, comes back and is a favorite player among fans (except for PETA members, of course); Lebron hosts a live TV show to air his decision on where he will sign a new contract and donates the money made from that program to The Boys & Girls Club, and every sports fan hates him.

I always knew there was something not right about Jim Tressel, but I thought it was that he looked like a McDonalds character.

I would probably still watch the NFL even if there were scabs hired to play, but that's not saying a lot since I'm still watching the Women's side of the French Open even though the Williams sisters are not competing in it.

Caution flags during the last laps in a NASCAR race are kinda like if an NFL game went final because the clock continued to run during an officials review in the final minutes of the 4th quarter during a come from behind drive that could've won the game.

Why are the two most popular drivers in pro auto racing drivers who never win?

I like the Bulls over the Heat in Game 2, maybe it's because I've seen the posterizing of Dwayne Wade replay like 100 times on ESPN, or maybe it's because the Heat acted like they'd already won the championship after beating the old and Perkins-less Celtics, or maybe it's because Bron cried on one knee during that celebration. That vulnerability has been seen for the last couple of years from him, and it's led to a lot of things, but not wins against good teams in the playoffs.

The Tankees looked bad enough on the field this weekend, but then capped it off with the airing of some dirty laundry.

The Mets ownership should write a book on how to ruin a franchise that was thriving in a huge sports market.

It's pretty weird that the NHL is seemingly allowing talks to move the Thrashers to Winnipeg but went nuts about keeping the Coyotes in Phoenix, when Atlanta is a way bigger market. Just another reason why Bettman gets more boos than any other commissioner, though Goodell is getting up there.

Just last year Pau Gasol seemed like a gritty champion that was immune to problems that the spotlight in LA can bring, this has all changed now.

Nobody ever says of Bill Walsh - "Give me Joe Montana and Jerry Rice and I'll win three Super Bowls", so why when speaking of Phil Jackson's career does someone always say - "Give me Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant and I'll win championships." ?

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR THE FLYERS AND CAPITALS - You need good goal-tenders to win in the playoffs, not just some guys you met at an Eastern European grocery store.

When speaking of the best players of all time in the major sports, all are players from the last thirty-five years, except in baseball. #JoeMontana #WayneGretzky #MichaelJordan #BabeRuth

I'm taking Bruins over Canadiens tonight in Boston in a game 7 that will be wild, and will definitely get violent. The fear that their fans will riot and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage back home will not be enough for Montreal to get a win against the ten-foot tall Chara and Tim Thomas. The teams are playing again tonight and the fact that they will not have gotten the normal day of rest in between games will be a factor, the comfort of playing at home will keep the Bruins focused.

I hope the Blackhawks beat the Canucks Tuesday night completing a comeback from being down 3-0 in the series, it'll put the Yankees' demise in '04 that much further into the past.

I see people walking around with Dodgers hats on all the time, now Bud Selig will be one of them. What are the chances that Prokhorov buys "the bums" and puts them in the Barclays Center?

Ovechkin took over as the face of the NHL in my opinion with a goal on Saturday that made all-star goalie Lundqvist look like a bum goalie on an overpaid, underachieving team.

Looks like the players have won the first quarter of the Super Lockout Bowl with Judge Nelson's ruling, now the player-haters get to hate on the legal system too.

When the Knicks are down two points in the final seconds of a playoff game, they'll have Melo attempt an ill-advised three.

If I was a Rangers fan, I'd feel really great about scoring the three goals on the young goalie Neuvirth, who had held NY to a combined one goal in the two previous games.

$13 million buys you a guilty conviction on Bonds for...... spending too much time talking.

Apparently there's a hockey team called "The Nashville Predators" and they lead a playoff series against Anaheim.
