Surprise!

I'm back!! After a fairly long hiatus, I'm back... but not sure how long it will be before I get into another posting routine.

It's been busy... here's some thoughts I have from the last two weeks.

Bulls/Celtics might be the best first round playoff series I've ever seen. How often does a series have nearly all its games go to overtime, AND feature a single overtime game, a double overtime game, and a triple overtime game? Game 7 could be electric!

There were a lot of expectations for the Yankees, Mets, Cubs and Rays going into this season. So far, all three of them are flailing to stay above .500. Even the defending Central Division Cubbies are stuck around .500 to start the year. I feel like most of these teams will pick it up. We'll see.

The Lakers and Cavs appear to be on a path of destiny. After seeing the first round, I can't see who would beat either on the way to the Finals.

A-Rod allegations, more fun from Selena Roberts. Much credit is due, however, for most of us not jumping into the recent scandals.

The NFL draft was mystifying all right. How'd SF wind up with an open shot at Michael Crabtree? How'd the Raiders pick a guy they could have drafted in the fourth round? How'd the Browns agree to trade picks *so* many times? How'd the Jets get lucky enough to land Mark Sanchez?

There's much more to tell, but the games must be played! Back soon (I hope).
