The Spurs have four NBA titles and look to be adding to that.

Year in and year out, the San Antonio Spurs are always considered a favorite for the NBA championship.  However, the Spurs haven’t been to the title game since 2007 despite a run of excellence that stretches back into the 90s.  That’s all changing this year.  The San Antonio Spurs will be the Western Conference representative in the NBA Championship.  Tony Parker dropped in 37 points in the 93-86 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.

“Honestly, it feels like it’s been forever since we’ve been to this point,” said team leader and 37-year-old power forward Tim Duncan, who scored 15 points and 8 rebounds during the final game of the conference championships.  “We’ve been on the verge of kind of getting here.  We still feel like we were in contention, but we can’t get over that hump.  To get over that hump and get back in the Finals, it’s an amazing feeling, honestly.”

Not only did the Spurs win, making up for last season’s disappointing collapse versus the Oklahoma City Thunder, they got a sweep.  Memphis was escorted from the playoffs in 4 games.  That’s certainly a positive turn-around compared to the personal problems of previous seasons.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
