Wildcard Wednesday || Fireworks in NBA Free Agency

Greetings everyone and thanks for stopping by for another edition of Wildcard Wednesday! Fans of the major sports like myself are currently in limbo...unless you're a die-hard baseball fan. No offense to you all who are fans of America's pastime sport, but it's just not my cup of tea. This past week was newsworthy just from the NBA, but we can't forget what the United States Women's National Soccer Team did by avenging their 2011 World Cup loss and putting on a clinic against Japan within the first 15 minutes of play. Oh my!

I don't know what it is about NBA Free Agency, but it's always exciting to hear rumors and people arguing if it's true. Stories are made up as players fly around to meet with GM's and see their presentations. I'll be honest. As a Lakers fan, I almost thought that Mitch was going to get it done and sign Lamarcus Aldridge after getting a second shot at it. Then when he (Aldridge) tweeted on July 4th that he was going to San Antonio, I was like...

But you know what? It wasn't the end of the world, because I believe in Mitch. The Lakers didn't need the homer right off the bat. Additions of Roy Hibbert, Lou Williams, and Brandon Bass provide some size and bench play. Are they automatically in playoff contention? Probably not, but it's a start. The problem with our sports society is that we set our expectations high so early. We put grades on drafts before players even set foot on the field or on the court. Players move in and out and we put in the books the next champion before training camps even begin. Whatever happened to setting a foundation and waiting 3-4 years? Rebuilding requires patience!

Big contracts for Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Kevin Love, Dwyane Wade, Paul Millsap, Brook Lopez, Draymond Green, Goran Dragic, Kawhi Leonard, and Jimmy Butler all signing with their current teams on huge deals are kind of boring. It's nice, but we always look forward to those big free agents signing with other teams and making big splashes like Lamarcus Aldridge and David West going to the Spurs and DeAndre Jordan to the Mavericks DeAndre Jordan changing his mind after his buddies convince him to stay in LA....WOW. I wouldn't say that Paul Pierce reuniting with his former Celtics head coach as a Clipper is a huge splash just because he is old. But hey, he made it work playing with the young tandem of John Wall and Bradley Beal in Washington. In my opinion, the loss of DeAndre in the middle will severely hurt the Clippers. Apparently there has been chemistry issues with DJ and CP3, hence the move to Dallas. So we'll see if Griffin and Paul can carry the Clippers on their shoulders without DeAndrre clogging the paint and grabbing 15+ rebounds per game. I still can't believe that CP3 and Blake Griffin just begged their almost ex-teammate to come back to LA. I'm just wow...I was going to publish this post earlier in the morning, but then I heard the news that something was happening between the Clippers teammates. I didn't think it was true. I thought it was some kind of joke. Some story to attract media attention, but ultimately DJ would end up still signing with the Mavericks despite their antics. Geez...I'm just amazed...

My early playoff predictions?

Western Conference:

1. Spurs
2. Warriors
3. Thunder
4. Mavericks Clippers
5. Grizzlies
6. Rockets
7. Pelicans
8. Suns/Lakers

Eastern Conference:

1. Cavaliers
2. Bulls
3. Hawks
4. Raptors
5. Heat
6. Wizards
7. 76ers
8. Timberwolves

With Portland losing a lot of its key players outside of Lillard, I see them falling out of playoff contention and probably opening that last spot for either the Suns or the Lakers. As for the East, after the first top 6 teams it's any team's opportunity who can win at least 40 games to get those last 2 spots. Draft additions from the 76er's and Timberwolves make them young and give them a good enough foundation to get into the playoffs. I'm not going to predict who will get into the Finals, because that's just dumb. You can't predict who will win when you don't know about injuries. We all saw how injuries played a huge role from this past NBA season.

That will be it for this edition of Wildcard Wednesday! NBA Free Agency is a moving stream. With the big names off the board, role-players will continue to get calls from teams throughout the off-season. Let's just remember that whatever we see on paper at the beginning of this new season will not always be what we see at the beginning of May in 2016. Injuries and trades can and will happen. I'm hoping Kobe and the Lakers can make an impact in this competitive Western Conference. As they always say, time will tell!

Catch ya later!

Wildcard Wednesday || LeBron James...the Best of All-Time?

Hello everyone and thank you for stopping by for another edition of Wildcard Wednesday! With the NBA Finals officially in the books, I would like to add my own opinion on the whole LeBron James Best of All-Time debate. Before I get to that, I would like to congratulate the Golden State Warriors for their outstanding season. One of the best offenses we have seen in recent memory combined with a stingy defense resulted in the ultimate prize.

Let's start off by saying that I absolutely respect LeBron James as a basketball player. He is an absolute beast and he is clearly the best basketball player on this planet. With his 6'8" 250 lb. frame, LeBron can play all positions on the floor. A lot of analysts like to say that he is a small forward in a point guard's body. This also refers that LeBron is more like Magic Johnson than Michael Jordan just because of his pass-first mentality to find his teammates for a high percentage shot. 

Magic and Mike are on a lot of peoples proverbial "Mount Rushmore of Basketball" and despite LeBron still having several years left to play in the NBA before he hangs it up, people are already looking to carve his face on the mountain. Does LeBron James deserve such praise? Let's get to the arguments.

LEBRON = HYPE

Ever since LeBron James was a sophomore in high school, everyone wanted to see him play. By his junior year, LBJ was already considered "the best high school basketball in America". The hype was so huge, Sports Illustrated declared LBJ to be "The Chosen One"...before he even stepped on an NBA court. He graduated high school as one the most hyped basketball players ever and I would assume that the Cleveland Cavaliers had no hesitation selecting him with the No. 1 overall draft pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. On his NBA debut versus the Sacramento Kings, LeBron recorded 25 points and during his Rookie of the Year campaign LeBron became the youngest in NBA history to score at least 40 points. The rest is pretty much history in the making. The hype was real. Sports Illustrated called it right.

The thing about LeBron's career is that whenever he posts outrageous numbers like he is doing during the 2015 NBA Finals, it's what we expect him to do. Oh, LeBron James had a 40pt-11ast-14rb game. That's it? A player of his size and freak athletic ability, LBJ can will himself to score in the paint every single time. If he wanted to, he could score 50 a night, but he knows that's not healthy for his basketball team. It's what we expect out of him because we've set high standards for him ever since he got drafted. 

Let me know end this argument with this.

If Michael Jordan dominated the 90's with a 6'6" 195 lb. frame, went 6 for 6 in the NBA Finals, never played a game 7 in the NBA Finals, AND he probably could've gotten more rings if he didn't retire to play baseball in 1994...

THEN, if you're LeBron James with a 6'8" 250 pounds and has the tendency to form super-teams in order to win championships, shouldn't you be UNSTOPPABLE?

Before you say anything about the injuries to Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving would have created a different outcome for this series. I want to point out that Kevin Love's shooting ability would play favor to GSW's tempo. Kevin Love's injury opened up Tristan Thompson's play in the point and created matchup problems for the Warrior's smaller lineups. The impact of Irving's injury was probably a bigger factor than Love's solely because it left LBJ to be the facilitator for the remainder of the series and whenever LeBron tried to pass the ball around, his teammates played hot potato and gave it right back. This of course led to a stagnant offense with more isolations and less ball movement...and this fact.

 That's a story for another day though.

BACK TO MY ARGUMENTS.

LEBRON TOOK HIS TALENTS TO SOUTH BEACH

In the NBA, you hear the phrase "ball don't lie" a lot, especially when it comes to a shooter who was fouled, but not according to the defender. When the shooter misses the first free throw, saying "ball don't lie" is kind of like saying "heh, karma b***h". In 2010, LBJ made "The Decision" to form a super-team with 2003 draft buddies Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade. The so-called King James reigned supreme in Miami for 4 years and led the team to 4 straight finals appearances....and only walked away with 2 rings. Some would consider it an accomplishment, others would say it's not good enough. When the Heat lost that first finals appearance versus the Dallas Mavericks, I imagine a lot of LeBron haters chanting "ball don't lie" (including myself) because after the tremendous effort of the Miami super-team, it still wasn't good enough against Dirk and company.

After losing game 1 to the Thunder in the 2012 NBA Finals, James led the Heat to the team's 2nd NBA championship with 4 straight wins. With the Spurs up 3-2 in a thrilling 2013 NBA Finals, the Heat came up with a miracle 3-pointer by Ray Allen to force OT in game 6 and won the game to tie the series. In game 7, Mr. Fundamental (Tim Duncan) had the 2 opportunities to tie the game with less a minute to go, but failed. LeBron James capitalized on the following possession with a jump-shot which sealed the victory and secured back-to-back championships for the Heat. In 2014, the Spurs and Heat met for a Finals rematch and the Spurs showed that they were the better overall team winning the championship in 5 games.

LeBron James' career will always be tainted with the fact that he left the team that drafted him in order to form a super-team to win a couple of championships before coming back home. If you look at the all-time greats, most of them were able to play for one team and still win championships: Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Bill Russell, and Jerry West. I wanted to add Michael Jordan to this list, but MJ had a 2-year stint with the Washington Wizards (with no playoff appearances) before he retired from the game for a 3rd time.

The Miami Heat pretty much had LeBron James on a 4-year rental period. Appeared in 4 straight Finals and got 2 championships. LBJ left South Beach along with a bandwagon of his followers and came back home to Cleveland to form another super-team with Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving. The 2015 Cavaliers have been plagued with injuries (Kevin Love - shoulder and Kyrie Irving - knee) and now it closely mirrors the Cavs teams LeBron has led prior to his departure to Miami. LBJ being the core of the offense distributing the ball as a point-forward.

LEBRON JAMES IS THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER
Before LBJ went to Miami
2009-2010 Cavaliers Record - 61-21 (best in the Eastern Conference)
2009-2010 Heat Record - 47-35 (5th in the Eastern Conference)

After LBJ went to Miami
2010-2011 Cavaliers Record - 19-63 (worst in the Eastern Conference)
2010-2011 Heat Record - 58-24 (2nd in the Eastern Conference)

Is it coincidence that the Cleveland Cavaliers went from best to worst in one year AFTER LeBron James left? I don't think so. Let's look at this year.

Before LBJ went back to Cleveland
2013-2014 Cavaliers Record - 33-49 (10th in the East)
2013-2014 Heat Record - 54-28 (2nd in the East)

After LBJ went back to Cleveland
2014-2015 Cavaliers Record - 53-29 (2nd in the East)
2014-2015 Heat Record - 37-45 (10th in the East)

It's like they switched places huh?

How valuable in LeBron James? I would bet $100 that if LeBron left Cleveland after this season and played for the Minnesota Timberwolves (who had a 16-66 record this 2014-2015 season), they would automatically win 50-games and be in playoff contention. That just shows how good he is to make everyone around him better.

LeBron is so good that he is almost expected to come out with a triple-double every night. His stats don't lie. LeBron James in the only player in NBA history to average at least 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists for his career. WOW... if that doesn't blow your mind and convince you that he is the best player in the world right now... I don't think you enjoy the game of basketball.

With the NBA Finals over, I would like to add this amazing stat as well

Wait what...? Points...assists...AND rebounds for BOTH TEAMS?! Jimmy Crickets...

LEBRON HAS STAYED IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE
Since 1998 (the last year Michael Jordan played for the Bulls) the Western Conference has dominated the NBA with multiple championship appearances by the LA Lakers, San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks (11 championships out of 16 years for the West). This is the first time since 1999 that the NBA finals hasn't featured either Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan or Dwayne Wade.

In past several years, the Western Conference has featured teams with more than 42 wins at the 8th seed. On the other hand, the Eastern Conference has featured playoff teams under 0.500 multiple times while the 9th and 10th seeds for the Western Conference had a better record.

For a little refresher, the NBA schedule is formatted in the following way:

• 4 games against the other 4 division opponents (16 games)
• 4 games against 6 (out-of-division) conference opponents (24 games)
• 3 games against remaining 4 conference teams (12)
• 2 games against teams in the opposing conference (30)

This means that majority of the games LeBron James has played have been against a weaker Eastern Conference (52 out of 82 games). Easier games equals a better conference record which equals an easier road to the NBA finals. Hence, LeBron James' 5 straight appearances. What if LBJ played in the Western Conference for his career? How decorated would his career be then if he played 63% of his games against more quality opponents?

CLOSING STATEMENTS

If you're familiar with football, LeBron James can closely be compared to Peyton Manning in the NFL when it comes to regular season numbers and playoff success. Both players have posted records in both their sports during the regular season, but their playoff success can be considered mediocre with the high expectations set for them.

LeBron: 10 straight playoff appearances since 2006. 5 straight finals appearances since 2011 (4 with Miami and 1 with Cleveland) 2-4 and so far in the Finals.

Peyton: 14 playoff appearances since 1999. 11 with Indy and 3 with Denver. 9 appearances eliminated in the 1st game. 3 Superbowl appearances and only 1 championship. Just like LeBron playing in the Eastern Conference, Peyton has had the benefit to play in mediocre divisions. The AFC South when he played in Indianapolis and the AFC West where he is currently playing for the Broncos.

It's a shame that the media puts so much pressure not just on LeBron James, but on professional players to produce in their sport. In the end, they are still human. It was the media (specifically Sports Illustrated) that claimed LeBron James to be "The Chosen One" before he even started an NBA game. Now, all the pressure is on King James to dethrone the great Michael Jordan and his 6 rings.

Let's face it. LeBron is starting to reach the back-end of his career. In the past 8 years, he has participated in 6 NBA Finals and 2 gold-medal Olympic runs. That's a lot of basketball miles put onto a person's body over time. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if LBJ doesn't win another title before he retires. If he walks away from the game with only 2 rings, will that still make him the best of all-time? Only time will tell. Maybe this is the end of the super-team era. What the Golden State Warriors showed us for this year's NBA Finals is that even if you have the best basketball player on the planet...the best team will always be greater than the best player.

Wildcard Wednesday || MARVEL'S Avengers: Age of Deflating Floyd "Money" Mayweather

Hello everyone and thanks for stopping for by for Blog #2 of Wildcard Wednesday. The difficult part about having a blog about Disney, sports, and entertainment is that a lot goes on in a week. I went from wanting to talk about the Chargers 2015 draft selections, then I was on a roll to vent my hatred for Floyd "Money" Mayweather and everything he stands for. I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron opening weekend and boy am I willing to spend another $15 to watch it again. Earlier last week I finished watching Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. I was bored so what did I turn to? The Netflix exclusive Marvel's Daredevil. I am now on episode 9, but I am 100% certain I will finish this season by the time you read this (there are only 13 episodes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT). This past weekend showcased back-to-back-to-back buzzer-beaters by Paul Pierce, Derrick Rose, and LeBron James in the NBA Playoffs. How about that Hack-a-Jordan huh? Now, there's this whole DEFLATE-GATE fiasco.

I'll make a few quick points on everything because I really want to give you thoughts about Floyd Mayweather before I explode.

Chargers 2015 Draft
Melvin Gordan III? Approve 110%. The Chargers made the sacrifice to get their impact guy and it will pay 10-fold when he looks to fill in the big shoes of LaDainian Tomlinson. Chargers added depth and filled in key defensive holes for the remainder of the draft. Others may argue that they should've drafted an offensive lineman, but they really just need to mend together and build chemistry after going through 5 centers and too many different starting o-lines.

Avengers: Age of Ultron
Lights, camera, ACTION! Right from the get go. Some critics say that there was "too much" action and not enough time to build the plot. Who cares? It's not like this movie is going to be nominated for an Oscar. Here's your plot. Ultron...bad. Avengers...good. Round 1...FIGHT! And then for the finisher...wait for it...THANOS!

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Season 1
I didn't watch the show on a weekly basis, but seeing how even the Season 2 timeline matched up with Age of Ultron makes me want to watch Season 3 when it ties in with Captain America: Civil War. Season 1 starts off really slow up to the first 5 episodes, then it just gets awesome. I started to appreciation the things that Marvel has done to tie in their TV series to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and then all of a sudden I was engulfed into another perspective that wasn't shown in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Marvel's Daredevil (Netflix Exclusive)
Man this show is dark. Literally and emotionally. But I guess that's reflective of Matthew Murdock and his gift. I'll probably be done with this show by the time you're reading this, but it's 13 episodes of a deep plot stirring in Hell's Kitchen. If you're not subscribed to Netflix, I would definitely say that $7.99 for that first month is worth it just for this show.

2015 NBA Playoffs
After seeing 5 out of 8 first round playoff matchups going 5 games or less we actually have some good playoff basketball for the conference semi-finals. Both #1 seeds are being tested by the #5's. After Derrick Rose banks in a 3-point buzzer beater to keep home-court advantage, LeBron James strikes back with a buzzer beater of his own to make it a 3-game series. What was said after the game just goes to show that David Blatt means nothing to that team. LeBron James is really the coach of that team and he'll do whatever he wants because he's LeBron James. Lastly, here are my quick thoughts about the Hack-A-Whoever shenanigans. There is no need to change the rules. If a team wants to rack up personal fouls and risk being in the bonus early in the quarter that's their problem. If you have a professional basketball player (who is getting paid millions of dollars by the way) that can't shoot more than 50% at the free throw line then that's your problem. How about you put that player in the gym and don't let him leave until he makes 50 in a row.

Deflate-Gate
I could care less about the pressure inside a football. The QB still needs to throw the ball. The receiver still needs to get open and catch the ball. If you're going to care about the pressure inside the ball, then I expect every team will have an inspection for every game. And for the sake of the fans they should show on the screen the pressure of the ball that is being used. If they really want to take it that far, maybe they should regulate how sticky a receivers gloves are because that gives a competitive advantage. Maybe should regulate the length of a players cleats because that also gives a player a competitive edge on the field. It's all bogus. The obvious issue here is the cover-up. If Brady was innocent why didn't he just give up his phone? Even Ted Wells explained that he offered Brady and his agent to be in the same room and Brady's agent would just read the messages off the phone with Wells not putting a finger on the device. If you can't even allow that, then something is obviously fishy.


Floyd "Money" Mayweather: The False Idol
This isn't a bitter Filipino complaining about how "The Fight of the Century" turned out to be a chicken run. This is more about a human being disappointed at another human being's character, lifestyle, and the media attention the latter receives.

I don't use the word hate a lot, but man do I hate Floyd "Money" Mayweather and everything he stands for. He is known to be THE highest paid athlete in the world. More than Kobe Bryant. More than LeBron James. More than Tiger Woods. More than Cristiano Ronaldo. You know what's even crazier? That's all from salary/winnings. $0 in endorsements (http://www.forbes.com/athletes/list/#tab:overall). What makes matters worse is that he is undefeated in his sport. Haters can't even prove that he "sucks" because no one has even been able to take him down. Unfortunately, Floyd is also a smart businessman. He has brainwashed groups of confused losers into believing that money is everything; hence "The Money Team". I'll be honest with you...that May 2nd bout between Pacquiao and Mayweather was the first time I've seen Mayweather fight (those slow motion highlight clips don't count). Not only was I pissed about Mayweather's fighting style, but I was pissed about the commentators reaction during and after the fight. Why? Because they are pretty much down on bended knee praising Mayweather like he is some kind of boxing God. All I can hear and read about Mayweather was "...what a smart boxer!", "...look at his technique!", "...this is just another day in the office". Wow, are you kidding me? It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to learn how to run away from a flurry of punches. It wouldn't take me more than a day to learn how to hug my opponent whenever I'm in trouble against the ropes. These analysts/commentators praise this kind of boxing? That doesn't sound like greatness to me. That doesn't sound like "the best ever" to me. It sounds like you can plug in anyone with speed and agility and they could just be like Mayweather. Sorry y'all, I hope you're still with me on this because I have one more point I would like to make. Last year Ray Rice knocked out his wife and after further investigation was suspended indefinitely by the NFL. As of December 1, 2014 Rice has become a free agent and has yet to be signed by an NFL team. Mayweather has been charged not once, not twice, but numerous times of domestic-violence. This guy obviously has a problem. Look at his history and the "punishments" he has received:

• 2002: 6-month suspension -- 2 days of house arrest -- 48 hours of community service
• 2004: 12-month jail sentence  -- $1,000 fine OR 100 hours of community service
• 2005: 90-day jail sentence
• 2010: $3,000 bail
• 2011: 90-day jail sentence -- 100 hours of community service -- 12-month domestic violence program -- $2,500 fine

Not only do I believe that Mayweather's style of boxing will eventually kill the sport (if it hasn't already), but letting this despicable human-being continue to represent the sport sickens me. I imagine that the only reason why WBO and other boxing organizations haven't banned Mayweather from the sport (just like how Adam Silver did to Donald Sterling) is because they crave the amount of amount of money Mayweather brings each and every time he steps into the ring.

It's disappointing that businesses care more about the $$$ than the image that they present to fans or even aspiring young boxers. It's disappointing that God has "blessed" this man with a $200 million paycheck after the May 2nd hug-fest. It's disappointing that the poor will put more value on $5 while  this man will continue to eat $1,000 meals or even take a picture of himself with stacks of money on his bed asking his followers for a caption.

Sigh...

Give this man some humble juice. He might need a gold-plated goblet with 20-carot diamonds sprinkled all over it in order to drink it though. 

Wildcard Wednesday Introduction

Greetings everyone and welcome to the Wildcard Wednesday edition of Notably Notable. I think a little introduction of myself will help set an outline for what Wildcard Wednesday's are going to be about. My name is Jayme Ross Eva and I am a 24-year old Filipino-American from San Diego, CA. I  graduated from the University of San Diego (...and no I didn't spell UCSD wrong...they're different universities) with a BS/BA in Mechanical Engineering in May 2012 with aspirations to become a Walt Disney Imagineer. Shortly after graduation I participated in the Fall 2012 Disney College Program from June 2012 to January 2013 as a Store Operations Host.  Now I am currently a full-time Maintenance Mechanic at AQUATICA San Diego (SeaWorld's Water Park) and I have been been a Disney Store Cast Member since August 2013. On my free-time I am an assistant coach for NFL Flag San Diego where I occasionally submit game highlights.

As you can see, I have a little bit of a Disney background and that is actually going to be one of the few topics I will be talking about on Wildcard Wednesdays. Since I didn't state it before, I will state it now and probably every time I post something Disney related:

Please note that as a Cast Member: All content represent my views/opinions and are in no way affiliated with the Walt Disney Company.

There is always news surrounding the world of Disney so I will spread my opinions on some trending stories that are Disney-related. I might even share some Cast Member experiences and "confessions".

Next on my list of things that I would like to talk about on Wildcard Wednesdays is going to be about sports. I know "sports" can be very vague, but that is kind of the reason why we have it under Wildcard Wednesdays. I follow XTRA Sports 1360 here in San Diego and about 90% of the time I'm watching ESPN or some other sports-related activity. Why? To me, watching sports is like how other people watching their favorite reality show. However, in my opinion, sports is one true reality show. It's the one thing that you can watch that is unscripted and the emotions are real (besides all that flopping that goes on). There may be some that would like to argue that games are fixed and there's a conspiracy for every controversial call, but that's a topic for another day. There are so many things we can talk about sports, but I will specifically focus on the major sports: football, basketball, and baseball. Sorry Soccer (futbol) fans. I played soccer for 8 years when I was in grade school, but I just don't follow it. I would also like to add that I follow the San Diego Chargers, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the San Diego Padres. A good amount of sports recap will feature those 3 teams, but I will also cover other trending/controversial topics that are surrounding the world of sports.

The last topic that will be covered on Wildcard Wednesdays will be "Entertainment". Yes, another vague topic, but what I had in mind was that I would be covering newly released movies and reviewing some TV shows that I'm currently watching right now. The movie lineup for Summer 2015 looks pretty exciting with Avengers: Age of Ultron leading it off. I normally don't watch movies opening weekend just to avoid the huge crows, but hopefully I can put up an afterthoughts post on Avengers 2 in the next couple of weeks. Like many other people I don't like waiting week-to-week for shows. I'm more of a binge-watcher; however the only 2 shows that I keep up with weekly are the Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.

And there you have it. A little introduction of Wildcard Wednesdays. I hope you are looking forward to it as much as I am. Now, this past weekend was a huge weekend for Wildcard Wednesdays, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, NBA Playoffs, NFL Draft, NHL Playoffs, Kentucky Derby, and MLB. My focus for Blog #2 will be on the Chargers 2015 draft selections.

Catch ya later!
