Top Sports News for Friday, May 17, 2013


1. Spurs advance; huge matchup with Memphis awaits.
The Spurs outlasted the feisty and streaky Warriors to advance to the Western Conference Finals where they will face the Grizzlies. The win marked the tenth win in eleven tries for the Spurs in closeout games since the start of the 2007 playoffs.

2. Knicks extend series with win over Pacers.
Playing without their full arsenal (George Hill), Indiana played sloppy basketball as New York pushed the series to a game six. Without their key man at point, the Pacers committed 19 turnovers.

3. Strasburg pitches past seventh inning; first time as big leaguer.
Washington's decision to sit their ace for the playoffs raised a lot of questions last year. Because of his hype, injury history, success on the diamond, and the organization's poor handling of the public relations aspect of last year's innings count -- each time 'Stras' takes the mound it's as if the whole world is waiting for something catastrophic to unfold.

4. Kings showing same resilience that earned title in '12.
5. David Beckham retires.
6. Gronk needs surgery for 4th time on arm.
7. Former NASCAR driver takes own life.
8. Johnny Manziel 'scrambles around' for signature first-pitch at Padres game.
9. Maurice Clarett turning to Rugby?
10. Alabama's Saban not thrilled with comparison to "the devil himself."

Most of the football world is noticing...America, probably not so much save for the group of fans that follow MLS...and LA Galaxy.

I will notice. As an American kid growing up I hated soccer.... HATED IT! As I got older, into my late teens early 20 I started to appreciate socr, partly because of Mr. Beckham. Now in my late thirties I have become a big fan of "football" and I would have never become one if it wasn't for David Beckham making it mainstream here in the US.
