Breaking Badly
The wheels have come off for the New York Rangers, who've caught some bad breaks in the Stanley Cup Final and now just look outmatched by the relentless L.A. Kings. At the end (the very end!) of the first period last night, the Kings scored a buzzer-beater goal on a shot that deflected off Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi's skate, closing an otherwise scoreless first period en route to a 3-0 victory and a nearly insurmountable 3-0 series lead.
Did you notice the Breaking Bad pun in there? It wasn't very good. Anyhow, there's BrBa star Bryan Cranston (above), one of many celebrities who turned out for the first Stanley Cup game at Madison Square Garden in 20 years. Notice on (our) left sideof the image a certain Oscar-winning actor talking on his cell phone. There are some posts circulating that say Robert De Niro got snubbed, but I have it from a good source who attended the game (my brother) that De Niro 100% did get some Jumbotron face time, accompanied by the Godfather music, about the only thing the Rangers faithful had to cheer about last night. We'll see if fans pony up as much for Game 4 tickets as they did for Game 3.
Paul George Jabs LeBron About Cramps Game Several Days Too Late
Georgeposted his "joke" about eight hours ago. Is he on tape delay? Has George already forgot that the Heat ousted his Pacers? And each of the two seasons before that?
World Cup Soccer Music Preview
The writers likened each team to a band or musician and even dropped the tunes in Spotify playlists. How about the United States, in the group of death? They say Kendrick Lamar, although they will probably end up M.I.A.
