BOXING
I am expecting a mostly boring fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. winning a unanimous decision over Manny Pacquiao.
UPDATE: Mayweather in a unanimous decision over Pacquiao.
HORSES
My picks for the Kentucky Derby:
- American Pharoah to win (yeah, I know he is the favorite. So what?).
- Carpe Diem to place.
- Dortmund to show.
UPDATE: American Pharoah edges Firing Line and Dortmund.
NBA PLAYOFFS
Game 7 - San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Clippers: Never ever doubt Tim Duncan. Spurs in a close one.
UPDATE: A phantom call by the refs give L.A. the win.
NHL PLAYOFFS
I lost interest after the NHL let the Atlanta Thrashers die on the vine.
LEFT TURNS
BONUS PICK: Denny Hamlin wins Sunday's Talladega 500.
So, who ya got?
