BBM’s are reprogrammed and ready to go! To all the regular readers out there that noticed I was gone, JM's BBM's are back after about a monthlong layoff. To make a long story short, I've been dividing my time between work during the week and Las Vegas on the weekends for the World Series of Poker, which I'll document at a later post. Needless to say, time has been in short supply, but as the Series closes I'm finding the time to knock out these weekly posts once again. Let's dive right in to see what's going on in the world of Pil-Ams in sports.

The Conference finals for the NBA have been set for both the East and West and within a couple weeks we will have 2 teams square off to win the coveted Larry O Brien trophy.

Everyone is a fan of the underdog story, which is such a common yet compelling topic in the sports world. Many people are a fan of every team that are not the Lakers or the Yankees. They want to see the New England Patriots lose in the Super Bowl, and watch Sidney Crosby choke on the deciding penalty shot. Longshots such as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Philadelphia 76ers of the early 2000’s garner fans who long for a chance to witness Goliath fall to David. This Saturday, another underdog comes into play as everyone’s “favorite” boxer, Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. squares off against “Sugar” Shane Mosley in Las Vegas on May 1st at MGM’s Grand Garden arena.
