Sports Sound Off: A Woman’s Perspective…
I’ve been completely consumed by ESPN/SportsCenter the past few weeks. There is just too much going on right now and lucky for us we should have an exciting summer:
NBA Finals coming down to game 7 and between the Lakers and Celtics (surprise!) I have not been a big fan of the NBA since the strike, when I was a Knicks fan (John Starks days;) This may be the first time I’ve watched the entire playoff series post-strike so I guess the NBA’s strategy to hand-pick the “classic” teams to boost ratings is working. Regardless of ratings, I still hold steady on my one and done playoffs/finals-there are too many games and the majority are completely bogus because there is always another. Butler didn’t have another game to compensate for that missed half-court shot. Hank Baskett didn’t have another game to try to catch that onside kick. I’m just saying…

Lebron James and all other free agents-Seriously, who would have thought there would be campaigns around getting a player to come to certain cities?!? It’s crazy, but I like it. NYC has started the full-court press and is going after what they want. It’s a great example of the love a great personality can get you. It will be interesting to see where everyone ends up after Lebron makes his decision.
World Cup! I’m addicted-although I have stopped short of waking up at 4am PT to watch the first match of the day. I ♥ the ESPN FIFA iPhone app-not only does it give you the real-time scores, but it also has a run down by team, player and group. Looking forward to Slovenia/USA and Brazil/Cote d’Ivoire this weekend.
NCAA Football conference shakeups: PAC-10 pulling in additional schools and the Big 12 doing who knows what and we can’t forget about USC bowl game suspensions (wow!), at least they are allowing the juniors and seniors to transfer without sitting out a year.
Last but not least… 77 days until Ohio State Football season begins. Go Bucks!

daaaamnnn. it would have been real to have OK and UT in the Pac-10. You buckeyes would have been jealllllouousss. Colorado and Utah don’t make dollars or sense.

So I was reading this and I thought it was Sinakill but damn You know exactly what ur talking about. On the Lebron tip, He better stay in Cleveland and build that dynasty up if he trys to make the big move to the city its only putting more money into HOVA’s pocket. He needs to settle down and focus on basketball. if he doesn’t succeed at becoming the greatest basketball player ever to live or winning atleast 2 championships his popularity will go all the way down the drain. Nothing is better than soccer right now. I thought the Jets and yankees had die hard fans shieettt. go to a sports bar in Iron bound section of Newark (NJ, for you west coasters) which is made up of mostly Brazilians and Portuguese. These people act like they play for the team thats how much pride they have I never seen so many people happy over a 1-1 score. USA USA USA USA give us 8 -16 years we will dominate “Football”.
