I went to draft town on Friday in Chicago and it was WAY better than I could ever imagine. They had a combine area for the fans that wanted to do the 40 yard dash, the high jump, field goal kicking, and much more. Former players were there to sign autographs, they had the NFL shop and museum, food from, vendors, and much more!!
And even Adam Schefter was there!
The end of a historic career is tonight on ESPN 2 @ 10:30 ET against the Utah Jazz. We’ll probably never see another player like him so embrace tonight and his remarkable moments.
With that being said, I want to ask you all a few questions. I’m curious to read your answers.
Will you be watching Kobe’s last game or the Golden State Warriors attempting to get win number 73?
Where does Kobe rank all-time to you?
Who’s legacy is better, Kobe or Derek Jeter?
Who had the better career, Kobe or Duncan?
Who’s the best Los Angeles Laker ever, Kobe or Magic?
And dare I even ask, Kobe or MJ?
I’ll share my thoughts later but I want to see what you guys have to say.
Congratulations to Marcello for winning
the JGoodWithSports March Madness contest. His prizes are on his way.
That game was one of the best that you will ever see in any sport so don’t take it for granted. I have the same emptiness when the Superbowl ended and football season was over (luckily we’re getting closer to the NFL draft).
In other sports:
NBA – My Bulls are about to be officially eliminated from playoff contention. This has been one of the most disappointing seasons that I can remember. It’s basically the same team as last year (adding Bobby Portis). The only thing changed is the coach and culture. We lost our defensive, gritty, and resilient identity. I’m not sure what will happen in the offseason but I wish we’ll get our defensive, gritty, resilient identity back.
NFL – The season is still some months from here but the NFL Draft is only a couple a weeks away. “Draft Town” will be in Chicago for a second consecutive year (a 3 day event for fans to meet former players, participate in activities, food, prizes, and have a chance to win tickets to the actual draft blocks away) and guess who’s going?? (Wait for it… You guess it.. It’s me!) I’m very excited. I wanted to go last year but didn’t have the courage to skip work for it. I will let you know how it goes.
MLB – My Chicago White Sox has started the season off on a positive note by winning 3 of 4 in Oakland against the A’s. Even though the Chicago Cubs are the talk if the town as the World Series favorite, we’re are projected to make a run for the AL Central. We added some much need bullpen help in the winter. Hopefully that’s enough to get some extra wins.
NHL – The Blackhawks are set to defend the Stanley Cup. The Dallas Stars and the St Louis Blues have been consistent all year. The Washington Capitals are looking like the favorites to meet of those 3 teams in the Stanley Cup. Personally, I want to see Patrick Kane and Johnathan Toews against Alex Ovechkin.
The Masters are underway this weekend. Honestly I’m not sure who will come out on top. I just hope it’s a close finish on Sunday (preferably down to the last hole).
