Monday

I can safely say that the 142nd running of the Kentucky Derby was this past Saturday, the problem is I missed the whole race. I'm not going to explain why I missed but I'll tell that the winner is well deserve, Mario Gutierrez and his horse Nyquist went in and went out victorious. There are a few people who believe he could go for the triple crown, but what American Pharaoh did last last year can never be repeated. Meanwhile in the NBA Playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers repeated back-to-back sweeps, first against Detroit and then just yesterday, against Atlanta. The Hawks never got out of the starting gate and saw Déjà vu from last year when they were swept in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavs. So what have other teams done to inch closer to the NBA Championship in June?
