Sports Tweet of the Week: NBA’s lifesaver
My award this week doesn’t go to the best tweet but to the athlete himself. More on that in a moment. Here are some other gems:
Texas Rangers pitcher C. J. Wilson needed to vent on a writer-turned-ESPN personality:
why anyone listens or cares about what skip bayless says is beyond me, and every athlete I know. [...]
Quick hits: Sosa, Marshall, Yankee, LeBron
Sammy Sosa, who just a couple weeks ago reiterated that he has never taken performance-enhancing drugs, reportedly tested positive for them in 2003. If true, Sosa, who once cheated with an illegal bat, should shut his trap and never speak again.

Lakers’ win means no more puppets
There is not much to say about the Los Angeles Lakers’ 99-86 efficient dispatching of the Orlando Magic in Game 5 of the NBA Finals to give the Lakers their 15th NBA title. Game 5 was a yawner with zero suspense and it was clear the better team won. After three straight thrillers, the Lakers [...]

Clank goes the Magic’s NBA title hopes
The NBA Finals are all but over after the Los Angeles Lakers rallied to beat the bumbling Orlando Magic, 99-91, in overtime in Game 4. The Lakers lead the best-of-seven series 3-1, and to win the series the Magic would need to win three in a row, including Games 6 and 7 on the road, [...]

Sports Tweets of the Week, real and fake
Before we get to my choices for this week’s favorite messages, some Twitter news. This past week St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa quickly settled a lawsuit he filed against Twitter over a user that claimed to be LaRussa. I don’t know why a lawsuit was necessary. Surely if he had merely asked, Twitter would [...]

NBA Finals: Will you watch?
The NBA Finals start Thursday in Los Angeles with the Lakers hosting the Orlando Magic in a best-of-seven. I predict it will go seven, with the Lakers winning it all. I am more curious, though, as to how much interest there is in this series.
The high-water mark for NBA Finals ratings came in 1998, when [...]
