Now that the NBA Playoff race has been reduced to eight teams going into the 2nd round, it's hard to imagine anything other then the Cleveland Cavaliers facing off against the Golden State Warriors for the 3rd consecutive season in the NBA Finals. Both franchises were the only teams to sweep their competitors in 4 games and pretty well dominated the court, the Warriors especially. Fans and franchises alike would all like to see the same thing - A different NBA Finals match up. As entertaining as it was to watch the Finals go down to Game 7 and watch Lebron James rise to the basketball god level that he did, give us a break from the drama between Lebron and Steph Curry! Please, great basketball gods! In this article, I want to break down the odds of another team rising to the occasion and giving us a fresh face of NBA Finals entertainment.

The 2017 NFL Draft was full of surprises, shocks and excitement throughout it's three days. What a great three days it ended up being. Here, I'm breaking down team by team the NFL Draft, telling you what to expect from each rookie class brought into town. Arizona Cardinals  1 13 13 LB Haason Reddick, Temple 2 4 36 S Budda Baker, Washington 3 34 98 WR Chad Williams, Grambling 4 8 115 OG Dorian Johnson, Pittsburgh 5 13 157 OT Will Holden, Vanderbilt 5 36 179 RB TJ Logan, North Carolina 6 24 208 S Rudy Ford, Auburn Honestly, it looks like the Cardinals are planning for the future.

Chad Williams has good size (6'2", 195 lbs) to play as a receiver in the NFL, however his tape shows he can't catch contesting for the ball and has hand issues. He's a long wa

Last night's NFL Draft was quite the dramatic show that we love to watch. Trades, surprise picks, and burning mock drafts were all done last night with much enthusiasm to fans and analysts alike. In this article, I will give my grades to each and every pick, and tell you what to expect this season from the new class of first round rookies.

It was a great move on his part, and I would have paid anything to have been in the 49ers War Room personally to see that trade go down. San Francisco 49ers #3 - DE Solomon Thomas, Stanford (95 - A) The 49ers struck gold with this pick, not just because they got the player they want
