The pass away bright as and it was given back to him -- get a three quarter court shot and all this happened in its second span. Yeah I met mr. but it that's the that's the problem. It was two point nine seconds ago. So you think of the you think a buzzer beaters. How many how many seconds were left in that. That duke Kentucky game Christian Laettner. -- is on a second laughter how many were dated actually take to do the play. Or your questions about that's a courtside -- that was what was so impressive about that one. It was the actress yes it was a great pass on Brad hill.

But if -- four and national championship a buzzer beater for the national title. The article at the NC state Houston. It. I think -- this cycle -- -- plays the most improbable one I've ever seen. Then that I -- where I. Am home and it's all over sports tennis and as bad that's the most problem the best part of that videos on the ref calls good and it's great -- By the way the ref didn't look at replay. You know they they huddle up the three officials huddle up and then the ref has already emphatically makes that the signal for the baskets and it's it's. Even Al -- tell you we looked at the replay afterwards and and he did get it right. The ball was out of the kids and with point one seconds left. No way of -- that like I call it. Exactly texas' don't Richard -- and currently act okay improbable path.

Championship where the plane was I was number two. All right as we've seen the last couple weeks slow lane has gone into quite a feud with the Miami Heat. It did not accompany him and me and eat.

It just it just tosses them around a little bit little Wayne vs Chris oh Chris Bosh that have a reputation of being a bruiser. In the NBA I think Chris Bosh can take we easy what do you think. I think just about anyone can Louise is that. And upon -- -- got -- afford. I got a ridiculous. Celebrity. Dust up with celebrity -- -- you may not remember. Remember -- -- how about. Ben Affleck -- -- You remember holes don't remember you guys out there every city. This major test how hard core hard you Ben Affleck. 2002. Calls outlook reloading the broadcast with Sean McDonough.

Should LBJ except the offer and give the people what they want. Well. It's -- good. But of dollars. That again. -- what are what are we spending so much time talking about the dunk contest why does it matter to just totally heat home game every night is that what was it mattered that much to Magic Johnson. To give LeBron James a million dollars it intelligent life does get back. But really that the -- the dunk contest. I think we've reached the point. What we've seen. Pretty much everything there is to see what it comes to the dunk contest. -- And the other thing is enjoy it. I don't necessarily need to see LeBron James or Blake Griffin -- again or anybody I didn't see celebrities and. Where will this time players and in addition he magic Johnson's McNeil I don't care how expands it I guess Simmons offered up to 1000 of his money to add to the pot. None and -- Bill Simmons offered 2002200. Anyway. The contest is a little boring for me. I mean let's be honest you don't have to names that are in it for crying out loud. I mean that a star power you got grip -- against LeBron James would bring back to the two for Saturday night to watch that really -- Is it. To say in the contest BC heat. Why don't nobody I may say -- -- but I don't money thing. Or is it you need to see something else I like most people talk about that it was not basketball we know all the beauty of the game it's five guys you know playing together. The beauty of teamwork -- people talk about. Jordan vs LeBron or they talk about. Now LeBron vs Colby this guy -- you know. LeBron vs Kevin Durant what they're talking about. What -- one what most people like to see. LeBron and Kobe. Playing 211. I wanna be fun to. Win by two now right. There aren't the contest having -- bit -- -- for what. No I mean everyone just wants to see LeBron do. All the major stars have done -- at some point he's the only woman hasn't. I just policy and take magic money. Hasn't dumped in ten years in the league I'm guessing that he probably doesn't wanna do it wouldn't be pissed off your heat fan guys and a dunk contest may get hurt. And seen some of the YouTube videos that people been posting from Miami Heat pregame warmup. Oh great to. Create it it's great it's great -- it's the stop I watched on Saturday night. Michael for the also I don't know these guys better because those guys miss like fifteen -- -- -- -- in -- -- shooting percentage was better in the three point contest but it was in the in the dot com -- statistic Europe. Was a report right round two. Who'll lose first black hawks vs heat only and it's gonna keep bring it back to happen. How can come with another -- Where it happened before.

They've had a close to losing that but in dollars and then Miami fourteen straight -- -- close to losing to bear down sixteen yesterday to the knicks. They went to overtime with the grizzlies. Were down to the cavaliers lately came -- to win that game. Man -- and I'm still gonna say Blackhawks -- a little tip for you gamblers out there I'm giving you this one.

Cleveland Indians hottest team in baseball, yet remain last in attendance May 19, 2013 By AJ Kaufman 6 Comments There’s a scene in Major League where Bob Uecker, portraying the radio voice of the Indians, bemoans, “In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven’t, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.” Well, that was nearly 25 years ago and fictional, but today’s reality is that Cleveland has won 17 of its last 21, and currently tops the AL Central with a mark of 25-17. No one in the majors is better than the Indians in the past month (20-7). That’s great news. The bad news, however, is the Tribe somehow remain in the MLB cellar when it comes to attendance. How can this be? The fact that I wrote on this same topic almost to the day last year – when only Tampa Bay drew fewer fans than Cleveland - may be even more troubling. Though roughly 34,000 watched a walk-off win Friday night against Seattle, perfect weather and free caps weren’t enough to draw more than 36,000 Saturday and Sunday combined. What did the Indians do in those tilts? They nabbed another walk-off win on Saturday, then the Indians crushed the great Felix Hernandez Sunday behind Justin Masterson, arguably the AL’s best pitcher right now. Fun fact: The Indians have already faced eight Cy Young Award winners in 2013: Bartolo Colon, R.A. Dickey, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Jake Peavy, David Price, Justin Verlander and Hernandez. They have won seven out those eight matchups. Simply astounding. This offseason, the much-maligned Indians front office finally made a legitimate attempt to improve the team through free agency. I’m not talking an Ubaldo Jimenez-like trade, but rather smart acquisitions that brought veterans Mike Aviles, Michael Bourn, Jason Giambi, Scott Kazmir, Brett Myers, Mark Reynolds, Drew Stubbs and Nick Swisher to Cleveland. In addition to being a fantastic place to watch a game due to great egress and ingress, with extremely affordable tickets, the best promo lineup anywhere, Jacobs Field boasts overall, cooler, less muggy summer weather than most Midwestern locales. The team also lowered beer and hot dog prices to $4 and $3 respectively. What other professional stadium in any sport offers that? I have visited 28 of the 30 current Major League Baseball stadia, and few top The Jake when all angles are considered. I say that as a baseball fan, not an Indians fan. As for the putative “economic” angle, these are the same people who spend insane amounts of money to watch terrible football every fall and show up in decent numbers for putrid basketball in the winter. Irrespective of season length, those sports charge up to 10 times the price for a ticket, and the atmosphere isn’t half as fan-friendly as baseball. I understand fans’ lack of willingness to get on board to some degree. A decent recap of Cleveland’s decade of “rebuilding” can be read here and the team suffered a horrific collapse last August. However, in addition to all the benefits of attending games at Jacobs (now Progressive) Field, fans should also realize the team has potential and often exceeds preseason aspirations at any point without warning. Cleveland hosts the rival Detroit Tigers — heavy favorites to repeat as AL Central champs — Tuesday and Wednesday nights before hitting the road. The temperature should be pleasant at first pitch each evening so you’d expect The Jake to be full to watch the best hitter on the planet right now — but don’t count on it.
