Dez Bryant fell right into the hands of the Dallas Cowboys in this weekends NFL draft. He was projected to be a top ten pick but was suspended during the 2010 season because of contact with an outside source. He is a very good player and I think that some teams might of slipped on not drafting them, and even worse letting the Cowboys pick him up at number 24.
They now have a very powerful offense with Tony Romo at quarterback, Miles Austin, and now Dez Bryant. This is going to be a very good team comming into the 2010-2011 season, they are going to be loaded on offense and they did a good job at remaking their defense in the draft as well. They might be the first team to play in thier home stadium in the Super Bowl becasue the new Cowboys stadium will play host to the 2011 Super Bowl, that is a very scary thought for teams around the NFL.

Aroldis Chapman
Aroldis Chapman finally had a wild but good third outing the other day for the Louisville Bats as they won 7-1, which is a good sign for the Reds organization. Chapman went 5 1/3 innings, he allowed one unearned run with five walks and eight strikeouts The Reds are struggling once again and this is a bright spot for them considering they dropped 30 million on the youngster. Everyone knows that he can throw heat but he really needs to work on his control, he is walking to many batters and has hit a couple already. The Reds really need him to start pitching well so they can pull him up and give him his first start in the Majors. If he can start getting his fastball over the plate with the same velocity he is going to be a very dangerous pitcher, one in which the Reds desperately need.

Cleveland Cavaliers this is their year
This is the year that LeBron James and Cleveland will get their well deserved NBA championship. They have been playing great team basketball this year, which earned them the best record in the NBA at 61-21. LeBron James is playing the best basketball of his career and is not only scoring 30 ppg but dishing the ball, and getting everyone involved. The Cavaliers front office has done a great job at surrounding him with the players that he needs to win a championship. The addition of Antawn Jamison has made a huge impact, and he might be the key ingrediant the Cavs need to win the title.
The only team in the East that can give them a run is the Orlando Magic, but now they have Shaq, JJ Hickson, and they should be getting Leon Powe back soon who will make a big impact in the lineup. This is the year that the Cavs will win the championship and finally get LeBron and the city of Cleveland its championship that they desperatley have been waiting for.

Laker Struggles
Something is going on out West in Los Angeles, the Lakers certainly do not look like the defending NBA champions. They are in a big time funk right now, and it starts with Kobe Bryant not playing well right now. He seems to be forcing shots and is reverting back to the old Kobe, thinking that he has to put the team on his shoulders, when he actually has a lot of talent around him. Arguably the Lakers have the best starting five in all of basketball but they are clearly out of sync. Their two big men Gasol and Bynum need to start getting involved and taking advantage of the Thunders lack of size in the middle. Those two are playing very soft and in order to win they need to step thier games up.
With the series tied 2-2 the Lakers better be careful especially with this young Oklahoma team who seems to keep gaining more confidence game by game. The Lakers need to get back to playing team defense and stopping Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook who they seem to have no answers for. Phil Jackson needs to change some things around and instill the thought of team defense back into his players heads because that is what won them the championship last year.
New England taking full advantage of draft
Once again the New England Patriots showed why they remain one of the NFL's elite franchises. They took full advantage of the draft by obtaining the most draft picks out of all 32 teams with 12 total picks. Notably they had three picks in the second round in which they took advantage by drafting three solid players in Rob Grankowski, Jermaine Cunninham, and Brandon spikes.
The Patriots have always enphasized on the value of whole draft and not just the first two rounds, case in point being Tom Brady whom they selected with the number 199th pick overall in the 2000 draft. They do this by taking advantage of teams who get over anxious and want to move up on draft day. These over anxious teams will give two for one deals, meaning you give them an early round pick for two later round picks, which the Patriots have been great at doing over that past decade. This is great for teams who have done their homework on all of the players in the draft and know the value of full 7 rounds rather than just the first one or two rounds.

Boxing Superfight
Boxing is in desperate need of the Mayweather Vs. Pacquio superfight that was supposed to happen last month, despite Pacquio not wanting to do the Olympic style drug testing. This is the fight that is going to possibly save boxing and it needs to happen sooner than later because UFC is starting to take over. These are the two best boxers in boxing right now and it will be the most anticipated fight in boxing history. Before the fight got cancelled they were prediciting it would be the biggest and most watched fight ever.
After Mayweather fights Shane Mosley I think that they should have to fight each other. Everyone wants to see that fight and boxing will not be up to par with UFC until this fight and other major fights happen. If this fight does not ever happen I think it will be the biggest mistake in boxing history because UFC might completely wipe boxing out.

Strikeforce Brawl is a "Black Eye" for MMA
On Saturday, April 17th Strikeforce held a night of mixed martial arts fights which was telivised on CBS. The main event was a fight between Jake Shields, strikeforce midleweight champion, versus newly acquired mma superstar Dan Henderson. The first round of the fight went as many people predicted with complete domination by Dan Henderson, but remaining 4 rounds came as a surprise when Jake Shields held off the competition to retain his belt.
After the fight is when the controversy started. Jason Mayhem Miller entered the ring in attempt to steal Jake Shields moment and request a rematch, when Nick Diaz, Shield's companion "jumped" Miller and a brawl ensued. As a fan of mixed martial arts, I, as well as countless others were disturbed by what we saw. The actions being telivised on live tv went against eveything companies such as the UFC have worked feverishly to dissociate with the words mixed martial arts.
I feel that it is great the mixed martial arts has signed with cbs to be telivised nationally, but it is a shame that a lesser organization such as Strikeforce acquired the deal before a more organized company such as the ufc, and displays its antics to the public.
