We cover #Crampgate, #Lebroning, where the NFL Draft could be held next year, and the best answer in Family Feud ever in today's sports page.
NBA: Spurs take 1-0 lead in Finals after dominant 4th quarter
San Antonio outscored Miami 31-9 in the final period, outdoing the Heat in the sweltering heat of AT&T Center without the air conditioning. LeBron James was helped off the court in the 4th quarter after cramping, leading to a predictable mess on Twitter that involved discussions of San Antonio fixing the game, everybody getting huffy about how serious cramps are, and everything else that was predictable and stupid that Twitter usually consists of.
What wasn't talked about was the disappearance of Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in the final period. The Spurs committed a boatload of turnovers during the game, but they made a six 3-pointers attempted and missed just two baskets in the fourth compared to Miami's nine. Talk about cramps all you want, all Miami had to do was hold on to the lead and that was the worst attempt ever at doing so.
NBA: President Rod Thorn says conditions were playable, even on both ends
It wasn't that long ago that NBA arenas weren't air conditioned, and Thorn played in those conditions. Temperatures eventually reached 90 degrees inside the arena, but it wasn't enough to deem it unplayable.
NBA: Gatorade trolls James and his sponsor, Powerade
Because Powerade is the sponsor of LeBron James, Gatorade decided to poke the bear in the Twitter meltdown and responded with hilarious quips. In replying to somebody that thought James was their client, Gatorade responded with: "The person cramping wasn't our client. Our athletes can take the heat." That's been retweeted nearly 7.5 thousand times.
That's the right way to use Twitter, not one to tell people how they're so wrong about cramps or coming up with a conspiracy theory.
NFL: League could move draft to Chicago or Los Angeles
Since Radio City Music Hall "will not be available next year" for some reason, the NFL is exploring other places that the draft can be held in. They also plan on extending the number days that the draft will take place, but it will happen earlier than it did this year. I, for one, will miss the New York Jets fans' loud boos.
NBA: Kevin Love has received interest from 16 teams
Quote from new head coach Flip Saunders: “We probably have 16 teams that have called us,” Saunders said, regarding interest in Love around the league. “We haven’t called anybody.”
NFL: Sam Bradford never doubted he was Rams' starter
Despite wide speculation that the Rams may move on in this year's draft, they didn't draft a QB. Bradford told ESPN yesterday that he was actively talking to the staff and they weren't ever looking in a different direction than Bradford as the starter next year. So again, much discussion over nothing happened.
Game Shows: Man gives "myself" as "fully loaded" answer, receives "my willing weiner"
The question: "Name something that might be fully loaded." The answer: "Myself." When asked to clarify, he said "my man region." The answer on the board: "My willing weiner." At least the game show didn't skip around the word! For those that think the show sunk to a new low, it only did when the next person gave an atrocious answer after the events that transpired.
