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?
