Here’s some one-hitters in the wide world of sports.

• The smug Lakers got beat last night after leading the Celtics by 24 points.  This can be attributed to the amount of rough black men on the Celtics as opposed to the pussy-footed foreigners on the Lakers.  Sure Kobe is good and all, but I just get sick of watching a man named Sasha cry to the refs after every foul.  If I wanted to see Sashas pouting I would watch the WNBA.  Celtics in 6 games.  Sorry Sal.

• Speaking of basketball, my Sacramento Kings were allegedly robbed.  The 2002 Western Conference Championships against the Lakers were rigged to go to 7 games.  This is evidenced by the amount of fouls on the Kings compared to Lakers’.  Unfortunately, this information comes from the mouth of former ref-turned-gambling addict Tim Donaghy who is likely trying to take down as many referees with him as he can.  Therefor we can’t truly trust his word since he is the most hated man in basketball since William Hung got booed from a Pistons halftime show.  What we can do, though, is continue to think we were robbed.  Not gonna be able to let this one down LA.
• I am really rooting for Portugal to win the Euro cup this year and I was super excited to actually be able to watch some games yesterday.  They are on so early that I hardly ever get to catch them.  Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the best player in the world right now and I hope the Portuguese can ride that to a Euro Cup Championship.  If you made it this far it is safe to tell you that I am talking about soccer.  Sorry, if I told you sooner you would have stopped reading.  Big-ups to ESPN2 for showing all the action.
•  I am Super Excited to say that the Fresno State Baseball team will be taking a trip to Omaha for the College World Series after defeating the 3rd ranked Arizona State Sundevils.  This will mark the first time I ever watched a College World Series and the Bulldogs are looking really hot right now.  Its going to be hard to stop their momentum.
  
• Its still too early to give a shit about major league baseball.
• Nobody ever gave one about Hockey
• The NFL is in that awkward period where the only stories we hear out of Football are about injuries or holdouts.  The only good story to surface would be Michael Strahan retiring.  The guy is a future hall-of-famer he just won the championship and he has about a million commentary jobs waiting for him.  Why not retire?

That’s all for today’s sports folks, until next time, go Portugal.
