:10—Ok, Ok, unlike Mike Booker, Kevin Cameron, Zik and my old man, I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong (And for the record, this is the 2nd time I’ve been wrong this year. The first was admitting I was wrong about something I wasn’t wrong about. You Peabody grads…and dropouts, just think about it. It’ll come to you.) Anyway, I do admit I was wrong about the Spurs winning the West. It has been proven once again time -waits – for – no – man. The Spurs Big Three are old and it showed!
:09—That being said, I think it’s safe to say that you can start making plans for your Golden State Warriors/Cleveland Cavaliers NBA championship playoff.
:08—Having said that, Any time a man is out of the game for three weeks and steps in and scores “40”—“Forty”—“Fort Tee,” he, ladies and gentlemen, is a bad man. And to add insult to injury, he scores “29” two nights later. C’mon man!
:07—However, at the time of this writing, I’m still holding onto “D-Wade” rising up and closing out the Raptors. Then it’s onto the upset of the year…”Take out the Cavs…by any means necessary!”
:06—I’ll tell ya this again, and I’ve told ya a thousand times, the Pirates will not and cannot win the division and certainly can’t win a World Series without world class pitching. Can they win 85-90 games with this group? Yes. Will they and you have fun in the process? Yes. Can they win a World Series? No, nada, nein, nope…absolutely not!!!
:05—The Invictus Games, an international paralympic style competition for wounded, injured or sick service personnel and veterans. A royal idea by the British royalty, Prince Harry “Cherri-O” old chap.
:04—Just watched Bad Boys for the third time. The truth behind the rise and fall of the Detroit Pistons, one of the best 30 for 30’s ever done. Catch it on ESPN when you can.
:03—Mark your calendar and start saving your nickels boys and girls for the Third Annual Pittsburgh City League High School All-Sports Hall of Fame Inductions. If you were the 276th person thru the door at the Blue Line Grille the first year, then you didn’t get a seat. And if you were the 453rd person thru the door last year at the Wyndham Hotel, you were left standing again. Here’s your first of many warnings to get ready. The date is Saturday, Oct. 22. Now you’ve been told. This thing is big man!!!
:02—Speaking of dates, while you’re at it, book this in on your fancy-dancy smart phone. The 42nd Annual Willie “Pops” Stargell Pittsburgh M.V.P. Awards and Celebrating Women Awards Gala honoring Pittsburgh’s finest. Wednesday, June 29 at the fabulous Savoy Restaurant, 6 p.m. reception, 7 p.m. awards. Very, very, very, limited seating. First pay, first seat!!! This will be special.
:01—The Pens lost the first game, but not to worry, they’ll win the series. Take it to the bank.(Never mind what I said about the Spurs. Trust me on this.)
:00—Much more on this next week, but Plant-A-Seed Childrens’ Partnership, headed by Ms. Skylor Wingate, Massie and Kevin Solomon, along with Achieving Greatness Inc. will sponsor the 2nd Annual Pittsburgh and Allegheny County Area High School “Life Skills” seminar for 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th graders.
