News of the Day-5/19/07

Brandon Jackson, former Nebraska Huskers runningback, will be forced to miss minicamp with the Green Bay Packers. Jackson is being forced by the NFL to either "go home and do nothing or go to Los Angeles" to a NFL promotional Premiere event. I guess it's about buisness, but you would think that they could make the players do stuff before the minicamps started.

Spurs avoid a game 7. The San Antonio Spurs beat the Phoenix Suns 114-106 on Friday night to advance to the conference finals to face the Utah Jazz. Manu Ginobili had 33 points and 11 rebounds, Tony Parker had 30 points and Tim Duncan had 24 points 13 rebounds and an amazing 9 blocks. It was a very physical game with a lot of pushing and shoving. For the Suns Amare Stoudemire scored 38 points and added 12 rebounds while Steve Nash scored 18 points and added 14 assists. The Spurs start their series with the Jazz on Sunday. The Spurs should have no problems with the Jazz beating them in 6 games.


Cavs also avoid a game 7. The Cleveland Cavs beat the New Jersey Nets on Friday 88-72 to win the series 4-2. This is the first time Cleveland has gone to the Conference Finals in 15 years. Cleveland will face Detroit, in Detroit, starting on Monday. For the Nets, Jason Kidd had 19 points and 12 rebounds and 8 assists, Richard Jefferson scored 16 points, Vince Carter only had 11 points and former Nebraska player Mikki Moore scored 14 points. This should be a good series, with all games being close, but Detroit will win it in 5 games.

Street Sense is ready for the Preakness. Street Sense, coming of a win at the Kentucky Derby, will try to make it two in a row at the Preakness. Street Sense is a 7-5 favorite. I believe Hard Spun will win the Preakness keeping Street Sense out of a chance for the Triple Crown. The Triple Crown hasn't been won since 1978 by a horse named Affirmed. The purse for the Preakness is $1 million.


After the first day of interleague play Cubs, Mets and Angels come out with the win. I think Cubs and Angels will win the series 2-1 and Mets will sweep the Yankees. Should be another great day for baseball. You should go outside and enjoy the weather, but if you are a lazy bum, watch the Cubs and White Sox on FOX at 2:55 p.m. CDT.
