Cavs sending a message tonight. Raptors need to just shake it off and try again next time... but it will be a massive uphill battle to win in Cleveland in Game 7 if it gets that far.

He would get my vote, assuming he could produce a valid birth certificate.

Happy birthday, Brent. Hope you do something fun, and don't show up after all of the biscuits are gone...

Happy birthday, Raffy!

Awful news, Brent. RIP Sam. Gosh... so young.

Very sad news, Todd. RIP Mike. Such a rough loss for his family and friends.

Ackee and salt fish.

Happy birthday, Shelly. (Steve, that was awesome.)

^ Awesome bonding opportunity.

Yup, now that the whole Kobe thing is finally over... I mean he was great and all, and his final game was amazing, but what a circus it has now become in professional sports with these season-long sendoffs. First, it was Kareem, and that was fun, but unfortunately (in many ways, although it's good fun in other ways) that started a trend that will never end. Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, even Paul Konerko with the White Sox. All franchise guys, so the local fans love it, but do we really need people selling bags of air from Kobe's final night at the Staples Center on eBay? Plus, it was about $5k per ticket, on average, for "normal" seats. Dunno. Just seems unnecessary. I like the Peyton Manning approach. Play your last game, and then a week later, say, "Ya, I guess that was it..." NBA Playoffs? I thought that didn't really matter until June? As with hockey, allowing 16 out of 30 teams into the playoffs is kind of silly. Honestly think that 8 would be much better, but then on the flip side, even more teams would then tank (and much sooner in the season) for draft positioning.

Scary choice.

I had seen this before, but it was fun to watch again.

Holy fuck! This is just shocking. RIP, Prince. Way too soon...

Yes, that's her! Sweet kid, too. They're from the Cincinnati area. His son goes by his first and middle names: The kids are both trying to make it professionally, but you know, odds and all...

Dan is a good friend of mine from high school. He was the best athlete in our class, QB on the football team, leading scorer in basketball, and hit nearly .500 in baseball. He's a businessman -- a successful marketing guy, not a professional musician. But everything he does, he does well. Both his son and daughter are 20-something musicians, and trying to eek out a living doing so.
