With the 12th pick in the first round

Hi there. This is one of those rare entries in the 3 1/2 year history of this blog where it was a very calm uneventful week. We'll open up with the passing of "The Big Man" Clarence Clemons. With all the great music that Bruce Springsteen has made, you think of 2 guys beside him. "Little" Steven VanZandt and Clarence Clemons. The E-Street band will go on but it won't be the same.
At least the team I picked to win the Stanley Cup won. Only in Canada could you have hockey hooligans after the riots that took place in Vancouver after the Canucks lost game 7! And it wasn't the first time they did it. They rioted after losing to the Rangers back in 1994! I have a lot friends who love the Bruins and I'm happy for all of them.
I think we should stage an octagon like MMA battle between the soccer hooligans from England and the Vancouver hockey hooligans. It would have to be somewhere other than New York which is the only state in the country that doesn't allow MMA stuff to take place.
Rory McIlroy had one of those great dominating weeks that all athletes dream of in winning the U.S. Open. So why did every member of the media constantly have to bring up his collapse in Augusta or mention Eldrick the Gimp? Ruined it for me.
During the tournament the city of Bethesda Maryland acutally shut down and fined a lemonade stand run by some kids raising money for a childrens cancer charity near the golf course because they didn't have the proper permits. We're talking about a lemonade stand, people! Kids learning to be entrepeneurs for a good cause.
Terell Pryor had a press conference to apologize for what he did to Coach Tressel and letting down all the fans of THEE Ohio State University. I would have cut him some slack. However when that bridge troll of an agent Drew Rosenhaus was sitting right next to him, I doubted his sincerity. Its like everytime there's a press conference with some female who claims some important male committed a crime against her, attorney Gloria Allred is standing by her side as her council.
You want to know where I see Jimmer going in the NBA draft Thursday? Either 12th to Utah or 15th to Indiana. I don't he'll slip to the Knicks at 17. They need rebounding help more than a point guard.
I would talk about the NHL draft, but since the Phantoms parent club have hardly any picks, what's the point. Are the Flyers even going to show up for the draft or just trade the rest of them for the signing rights to some other free agent they dont need?
Finally played some golf. Got a long way to go to get my game in shape for South Carolina in September...Leccese out.
