Good morning, all and happy Friday!
With less than one week to go before the U.S. Open, reports are emerging that the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour is about to go under. In the video/audio commentary, I break down the seismic shift that is about to hit the professional golf world.
Here are some other thoughts on the second Friday in June:
Would you believe me, if I told you the San Antonio Spurs will win the NBA championship in seven games? I did not think so. But hear me out. The Spurs have outplayed the New York Knicks in just about every game in this series yet are trailing in the best-of-seven, 3-1. Dumb plays and the ball bouncing the wrong way have cost San Antonio, but that does not mean they aren’t capable of winning the next three games, especially with two games at home. Repeat after me. DO NOT COUNT OUT THE SPURS!
Speaking of which, I would not count out the Vegas Golden Knights either. With Carolina’s win last night, the Hurricanes are up 3-2 and one victory away from the franchise’s second Stanley Cup. The Golden Knights return home Sunday night for Game 6. They are more than capable of winning the next two and truth be told, although many people in my neck-of-the-woods are rooting against Carolina, because they used to be the Hartford Whalers, I’m rooting against them for how they unceremoniously dumped their radio broadcaster Chuck Kaiton, who moved with the franchise to Raleigh. Kaiton is one of the all-time great broadcasters. When the penurious, filthy-rich, billionaire Tom Dundon, who recently bought the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers, purchased the Hurricanes, he eliminated their radio team and simulcasted the team’s television feed on radio, claiming no one listens to the games on radio anyway. Wow! Go Golden Knights!
What does it say about our society, when parts of New York City could be ravaged, whether the Knicks win or lose in the finals?
I don’t know about you but I am liking the Chicago White Sox being in first place. To this point, they are the story of the baseball season in my book.
That is going to do it for today’s newsletter. Thank you so much for being a subscriber. It means so much!
