Golden State wins NBA title

For the third year in a row, the NBA Finals featured the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Golden State won it two years ago.  Cleveland won it last year.

This year's champs: Golden State.

It wasn't even close.  The Warriors dominated the Cavs 4 games to 1.

Mike correctly picked Golden State for this series.  He is SAFE!

Which is good because Mike still has 4 batsu games outstanding because of no promotion for Aston Villa or Sheffield Wednesday; Manchester United winning League Cup; Barcelona crashing out of Champions League; and the Dukies playing like total crap.

Penguins Repeat as Stanley Cup Champs

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins on winning their second straight Stanley Cup.

The Penguins beat Nashville 4 games to 2.

This is Pittsburgh's 5th overall Stanley Cup, which ties them with Edmonton for fifth most championships.  Only 5 of the Original Six have won more (Montreal 24, Toronto 13, Detroit 11, Boston and Chicago 6 each).

Mike's prediction was indeed Pittsburgh.  He is SAFE!

FA Cup SAFETY!

It's about frickin' time that Mike get some safety, as he correctly picked the Gunners to win the FA Cup.

2017 FA Cup Final Prediction

Mike is still trying to get a new co-host on the podcast, and will be holding off new recordings until one is found.

In the meantime, here's Mike's FA Cup Final prediction:

Arsenal 3-0 Chelski

As angry as Mike is with one "Senor Stan," that anger will never trump the outright hatred toward the Great Satans of West London.

That said, here's an Arsenal fan who knows what it's all about - and calls out the source of Mike's anger towards Stan:
