Same Face, New Place

With the NFL draft surrounding a busy week in sports, the same old college stars are now moving on to the big show. Turns out, Jameis Winston was indeed taken first overall followed by Marcus Mariota. Their two respective organizations (Tampa Bay and Tennessee) face off in week one in Tampa Bay. What an anticipated matchup that is! Other highlights in the draft include Todd Gurley going number 10 overall, the first running back to be taken in the first round since 2013. As always, the draft is exciting and entertaining. And this year did not disappoint.

Hopefully, the Padres have finally fallen out of the funk that caused them to stare at the face of a losing opening month. After being swept by the Astros at Petco (who, by the way, is in the midst of a 10-game winning streak), the Pad-squad went on to sweep the Rockies. Tonight they head up to San Francisco and play the defending champion Giants. This 10-game road trip should test us as fans and as players. Hopefully we can come out of it with a winning record, especially since 7 of those games are against division opponents. Going off of my post from last week, I just wish to comment that I think Bud Black will not be back after the season if the team falls below expectations. If we make the postseason, he may still have life, but we will have to see what the ownership and GM AJ Preller think about it.

The first round of the NBA playoffs has come to a close. The Clippers beat the Spurs in 7 games after some questionable officiating and the Wizards finished off a sweep of the Raptors. Now the second round has began and the favorites (Golden State Warriors) have built a 1-0 lead on the Memphis Grizzlies. Chicago upset the Cavs in Cleveland and Washington continued its Magic in beating the Hawks in Atlanta Sunday. Something has got to give as the drama continues to unfold in the postseason.

The biggest event of this past week has to be the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Pay-per-view made about $4 million on this fight and it ended up a disappointment for Pacquiao fans, who claims to have fought with a dead shoulder. I did not watch the fight, but as a Pacquiao badnwagon fan, I wanted to see more out of it.

Feel free to leave a comment on what you believe was the biggest sports moment this week. Thanks!
