The Spurs took it to the Hornets to even up their series 2-2. The defending champs held home court despite CP3 putting in 23 pts, 6 boards, 5 assists, and 3 steals, a great individual performance, but the rest of the team came up short.
Weird how the universe aligns itself this way, but on Sat night, I was talking with the boys about "what if" the NHL actually gained back popularity and we could see teams back in Winnipeg and maybe even Quebec City?

Congrats to Sergio Garcia who won the Player's Championship, his first victory in the last three years. In dramatic style, Garcia won in a playoff with Paul Goydos who had a one stroke lead coming into the final hole. He's still never won a major though, so keep that cockiness under your Adidas hat there Serge!!
OJ Mayo's stock may have just plummeted in this year's NBA draft. An investigation has found that Mayo took gifts while at his only year of school at USC. This puts USC and the Pac 10 under serious penalties. Stay tuned as the drama unfolds!
Congrats to Michael Jeffries, CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, who received a reported $9.9 Million last year, and 82% increase. Before you head out on a boycott, consider the following: He received no stock options and awards in 2006, Sales rose to $3.75 Billion for the year, Store count is up to 1,000 spread over A&F, Hollister, Ruehl, Kids, and Gilly Hicks, and Comp stores only fell 1% for the year. Not bad in a market that is taking a turn for the worst!
