Burning Thoughts
Man a lot has gone on in the world of sports in two weeks let’s gets to it…
First of all the World Cup has started. My favorite sporting event. Actually not the event but more about the hypocrisy in America that goes with it. A bunch of white people that root for European countries that they’ve never been to is acceptable but minorities that root for countries of their previous generations should be kicked out of the country for being assholes. It’s great…
As for the big match of the World Cup between the United States and England, a 1-1 draw is a perfect ending. We’re up and coming but not at the elite level and England is again the most overrated European football team. Obviously the goal that was scored will go down as one of the worst in World Cup history but the match was even throughout and a draw was fitting…

Correctly predicted by me, the Hawks outlasted the Flyers in 6 games as Patrick Kane scored the winner in overtime. The first five games were all home ice victories but Kane ended the curse in the extra frame in front of Philly fan. Now the longest Cup drought belongs to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Lakers-Celtics are living up to the hype. It’ll go 7…
Speaking of Lakers-Celtics, how about one of the biggest rivals in college sports meeting for the championship? UCLA softball outlasted Arizona for their 11th championship and their first since 2004. UCLA was given a gift dropped fly ball to win Game 1 and carried the momentum for a sweep…
And I’m sorry girls but if you want to be on equal footing with men, then the gaffe between Britany Lastrapes and Lauren Schutzler was inexcusable. It’s the center fielder’s ball. Awful play…
Kudos to Jim Joyce for being a man and owning up to his mistake on the Armando Galarraga perfect game. He was wrong. He owned it. Good for him. Still, it should’ve been the third perfect game of the season…
I’m sorry but when it matters on the national stage, England, you just can’t beat the Yanks…
