You can run, but you can't hide from Brett Favre.
-The Capitals-Penguins series just keeps on getting better. Tonight, the game once again went into overtime, and the road team Capitals won the game 5-4 to send it back to Washington for a Game 7. This is an epic series. Three games have gone into OT, and both Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin have been absolutely spectacular. It is tough to say which has had the better series, there probably isn't an answer to that question. You just know that Game 7 is going to be epic.
-The Atlanta Hawks have been eliminated from the NBA playoffs. All is back to normal in the world.
-Are the Cleveland Cavaliers going to even lose a game until the NBA Finals? Yeah sure, they have the Celtics or the Magic in the next round, but both of those squads pale in comparison to Cleveland. Don't be surprised if the Cavs sweep their way to the Finals.
-The Detroit Tigers continue to play well all around the field, both offensively and defensively. One of the major weaknesses of Detroit coming into this season was an atrocious pitching staff, both starters and especially bullpen. As of now, the bullpen seems to be holding up, although it is shaky at times. However, the starters have been amazing. Edwin Jackson was one of the best pickups of the offseason. He has been great and has not gotten great run support, so it appears that his numbers will continue to improve. Justin Verlander, after an awful start, has turned it around and has been pitching unbelievably. Armando Galarraga is solid every start, but watch out for new guy Ricky Porcello. Porcello has pitched pretty well and should be a solid starter for the Tigers this season. This could be Detroit's year to win the AL Central.
-In NFL News, Brett Favre continues to be a part of our lives. Please, get out. Leave. Nobody cares anymore.
-Braylon Edwards and Anquan Boldin are two Pro Bowl caliber receivers that still could potentially be moved this offseason. Baltimore has been thrown around as a possibility for Boldin, but on the other hand Edwards is highly unlikely to be a Raven. Most likely they will both end up staying. Boldin is probably more likely to be moved, as he has been more vocal about his desire to be moved.
-Every hockey fan (outside of Anaheim) should be rooting for the Detroit Red Wings to beat the Anaheim Ducks. Anaheim is a boring team, and nobody wants to see them potentially in the Finals. It would be a crappy series. The ideal matchups for the conference finals have to be Chicago-Detroit (big rivalry, young team on the rise vs. experienced veteran team, stars all around) in the West and Washington/Pittsburgh vs. Boston (a ton of star power vs. very solid team all around) in the East. Please no Carolina.
