What a fine Weekend

We begin at the end. Last night for the third time in my life I got to see live and in concert, the heart stopping, pants dropping, hard rockin, booty shakin, earth quakin, love makin, Viagra takin, history makin, legendary, E….STREET….BAND!!!! Or so that is how there lead singer, Bruce Springsteen, refers to them at the end of every concert. It was 2 hours and 45 minutes of unbridled, enthusiastic rock and roll. To sum it up, it kicked some serious ass.

As for the rest of the weekend it revolved mostly around the NBA playoffs and the NFL Draft which I am hopelessly addicted too. Due to my concert excursion in Charlotte last night I will be slightly delayed in laying out my draft thoughts and grades until a little later in the week. But I do have some NBA playoff thoughts:


- Is anyone going to wake the Nuggets up and let them know the playoffs have started?

- Whoever Cleveland gets to play in the second round can they please have someone on their team talk trash to LeBron, because it has turned him into a dunking machine and for that I am thankful.

- Good thing Phoenix traded for Shaq so they could beat the Spurs.

- I know this may sound a little crazy and reactionary but it may be time to go ahead and shit down the Suns and the Mavericks and re-tool. Both of them have young players you could begin to re-build around (Amare Stoudemire & Josh Howard) and try and get rid of some of your quality vets to teams that could use them for a Championship run. Think about Steve Nash going to help out the Cavs, not bad huh or maybe Jason Terry to the Lakers.

- Who would have thought Philly vs. Detroit would be the best series?
