Putting all conspiracy theories aside that the league is somehow attempting to make this a 7 game series, the current back and forth between the Mavs and Heat appears that we are headed that way. I still have the Heat winning in 6 but either way, they are firmly in control of their own destiny. It’s now a best 2 out of 3, they have 1 game left in Dallas to get a win and no matter what the final game will be on their home court. They have not finished well in the finals, but all things considered, I’d much rather be in Miami’s position than Dallas’. I would like to mention that it was a pleasure to have Lebron watch game 4 from my sofa. Hopefully he decides to attend game 5 and give the Heat a boost.
Not much change with the ongoing NFL lockout even though here recently they have had a series of “secret” meetings. We made need to redefine what secret means. I would hope they figure something out soon as the NFL network appears to be running on fumes. They recently featured a show on the Top 10 Left handed quarterbacks of all time. There have been about 35 left handed quarterbacks in the league....EVER! I guess I have a Top 10 players under 5’7 episode to look forward to when the NBA gets locked out after the season.
If anybody is interested in watching a tournament that is set up for either the US or Mexico to win, the CONCACAF Gold Cup is in full swing.....anybody? Hello? I tried. (I should point out that this is soccer...just to eliminate confusion)
Make no bones about it, I think once you reach a certain age, you should be banned from operating anything with wheels. But I absolutely can’t stop watching this. And I love the women golfer doing the turn-your-back-cover-your-mouth-walk-away-laugh routine.
The 3rd movie in the Summer 6 pack is history. X-Men: First Class. Initially, this was to be Magneto's feature film, which is evident with the storyline. However, a bulk of the focus is on establishing how the Mutants came to be and what drives them. With the exception of Hollywood taking a few creative liberties, the transition from the comics to the screen was pretty accurate. It almost had to be with a 2 hour plus run time. I'm an X-Men mark so take this for what it's worth, but I would say this could possibly be the best installment of the X-men movies to date. It's definitely in the running. And just so we are clear, I have never attended a comic book movie dressed in costume or attended a comic-con convention.
