In this small southern college town...Spring has sprung....and Summer is here. It is so hot...(insert joke here).

Thank God for air conditioned cars, houses, and offices. And to think when we were kids...we played in this heat....from sunrise to sunset.

In today's world...we have Meteorologists warning us to be sure we bring in our pets and plants...out of the heat.

Really?

But this is a time for us sports fans that is a little depressing. No more NBA....no more NHL. College football and the NFL are still 3 months away. So now all we have is that God awful and agonizing slow sport known as Major League Baseball.

Again...thank God for cable TV...and the hundreds of channels for entertainment.

Anyway....here are 5 things...I think ...I think:

1. I think....what happened the other day in Charleston...was horrible... but ...while tragic....will do a lot in bringing the races together. No more hate. No more senseless killings.

2. I think my new grandson....Kameron...who will be 3 weeks Monday...is even more handsome than I was ...at his age.

3. I think Tiger Woods has still not recovered from the beating he took from his wife...that Thanksgiving weekend back in 2009. Officially...it is still called a minor car accident. But we all know...she went up side his head with a golf club...and he hasn't been the same since.

4. I thought...LeBron James was the best player on the planet. He even said so. With that being said...How do you lose to the Golden State Warriors in the Finals. If you are the best player in the world. Just thinking.

5. Finally...I think I really need a vacation. Time to stop the world...get off for a week!

Have a great and safe weekend!

The "Trump"...is A..."Clown"?

So says the New York Daily News. And they should know. When we last looked...The Trump Towers...were towering over New York City.

From time to time we like to go beyond sports... Dabble in a little politics. Donald Trump. Billionaire...Wants to be your next president of these United States of America.

Really?

It will never...ever happen. Too much baggage. Too much ego. Too much bad hair!

And...too many headlines to come ...like this one today:

A Tale of 2 Cities....NBA Style

It is all over but the crying for the "Association" and it's fans.

But today's healines...say it all.

From our friends at Newseum....Enjoy:

Golden State Beat Caveliers in 6 Games!

What a series!

Stephen Curry, NBA 2014-15 MVP and Andre Igudala, MVP of the NBA Finals
Congratulations to you both and the team!!!
