Last night’s Raw broadcast went exactly as expected. Vince McMahon confronted an actor who played the part of Enos S. Kroenke, the owner of the Denver Nuggets, and the five-on-five Lakers-versus-Nuggets faces-versus-heels main event closed out the show but left much to be desired. Read more…
If you happened to hear Cleveland Cavaliers’ point guard Mo Williams speak to the media on Monday, you might have forgotten the Cavs were down 2-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Williams decided to not just guarantee a game, but the entire series.

These story lines might be what you’d expect to see when Spike Lee rolls up a fat one, and tackles one of the biggest sports icons of our generation. But, sadly to say, Spike has lost his fastball.
Sunday night brought WWE fans the eleventh annual Judgment Day pay-per-view event, featuring a stacked card with three main events. Was justice served?
