Gwen Stefani, who was the first woman I can remember really falling "in love" with. And by falling "in love" I mean she was the first non porn star I can remember jerking off to. Hello, seventh grade! The Tigers win streak was snapped Monday night because Joaquin Benoit can't get an out. Benoit, who was amazing last year in Tampa, has been nothing short of atrocious this season for the Tigers. He was one of their two big offseason acquisitions, and fortunately the other one -- Victor Martinez -- has been amazing. Jim Leyland was asked last night if he was going with another setup man in the future. He declined to answer, basically saying he didn't want to make that decision in the spur of the moment. So, basically, Benoit is done being the setup guy. (DetNews)
It must be National Coming Out Week, because there are several people deciding right now to tell the world they're gay. There was the Phoenix Suns executive, the CNN anchor, and perhaps the most touching story, former Villanova basketball player Will Sheridan. One day, people coming out won't be national news. But for now, when gay rights is the new civil rights issue of our time, it's going to continue to "shock" people. (ESPN)
Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Eastern Conference Finals is tonight in Boston, and the Tampa Bay Lightning are looking to take a 2-0 lead in the series. Led by 41-year-old goaltender Dwayne Roloson, the Lightning have won eight straight games, and are clearly the hottest team in the playoffs right now. And yes, the Lightning are the team I'm taking up with the Red Wings out of the picture. (TampaBay.com)
I have never been a big NBA guy, but I must admit that I'm pretty into these conference finals matchups. The Eastern Conference is self-explanatory: you have the Heat playing against the MVP, and everyone outside of Miami wants the Heat to lose. The West, meanwhile, is Old vs. Young, and that's not just a gimmicky thing the networks have thought up, it's really a bunch of young guys playing against a bunch of old guys. Not sure who I want to win that one, as I love Dirk and have always been a Jason Kidd fan, so seeing them win it all would be nice. But at the same time, watching Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook is pretty damn fun. (NewsOK)
The 8th Circuit Court granted the NFL its stay, meaning the lockout is back on. Depending on who you listen to, this is a really bad thing or actually a good thing. Those who think it's bad are looking at it like I am, that the owners now feel they don't have to budge, and they won't because they're stubborn assholes. The people who think it's kind of a good thing believe this will lead to more negotiations. Whatever, just get this shit over with. (ProFootballTalk)
Whoa, Arnold. (Huffington Post)
