Favorite new Man Crushes:

1) Arlo White, NBCSN Premier League announcer
2) Austin Carr, Cleveland Cavaliers color commentator (television)
3) Eric Reid and Tony Fiorentino, Miami Heat play-by-play/color commentator (television)
4) Clayton Kershaw (regular season ONLY), SP L.A. Dodgers
5) Nick "Swaggy P" Young, SG L.A. Lakers
6) Sign Guy, L.A. Lakers/Staples Center courtside regular

7) Alec Martinez, Defensemen L.A. Kings

8) The singing of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' by Liverpool fans at Anfield.

9) Christopher Russo's High Heat program on the MLB Network.

10) The ever continuing brilliance of Dodgerfilms.

Favorite moments:

1)

2) Kings winning the Stanley Cup (see the previous list above ).
3) Germany's annihilation of Brazil in their World Cup semi-final match (for the pure shock and the real time reactions on social media because of it).
4) Hanley Ramirez's walk-off home run (early August, against the Cubs) in my lone trip to Dodger Stadium in 2014.
5) Damian Lilliard's series-ending buzzer-beater in the playoffs against Houston (take THAT, Dwight!)
6) LeBron's return to Cleveland (so, not exactly a single moment here, but who the hell cares?)
7) Richard Sherman's NFC title game post-game interview with Erin Andrews.
8) Kershaw & Beckett's no-hitters.
9) The Royals clinching their 1st pennant since '85 on my birthday.
10) Liverpool/Arsenal from this past Monday.
11) Clippers elimination in the 2nd round via OKC.
12) Adios Miami Heat three-peat!
13) Jeter's walk-off hit in his last ever Yankee Stadium at-bat.

Least favorite moments:

1)

2)

3) The lack of a deal to get SportsNetLA carried on major cable providers; a whole season of non-access to every Dodger game!

4) Matt Kemp traded to San Diego.

Is this real life? AHHHHH, DAMN IT.

5)

Darth Tunes - don't miss Olbermann today. Keith had a full two days to prep for his farewell to Stuart Scott, including some of their stuff together from the earliest days of ESPN2. It will be spectacular, while still staggeringly depressing, I'm sure.

Greeny had a real tough time this morning.

Golic jumped in a few times to pick him up when Greeny was choking up talking about Stuart playing with Greeny's daughter. Stuart, like Cris Carter, Schlereth, and Jalen Rose, was an absolute fixture on the show. They loved him.

I hadn't seen that segment - just his evisceration of Penn State. Very interesting, bold to pile on Frontiere after her death, but she was a truly terrible owner.

As always with Keith, 75% of the segment was stuff I didn't know and probably won't remember, but it was still excellent.

I found it somewhat interesting that the anniversary of the '94 quake falls on the same day the announcement was made that the Rams were heading to St. Louis.

I'm in 100% agreement with his evisceration of the NCAA/Penn State... it's so despicable that those 100+ wins for Joe "I didn't know nothing!" Paterno are being restored.

I both agree and disagree. The whole thing was beyond what was actually within the scope of the NCAA. Yet, I looked the message that football can't be more important than doing the right thing.

So per Forbes, there are now eleven teams in the NBA that are worth more than $1 billion, a collective increase in value of 72% over the last year. The clubs are, in order of value:

Lakers
Knicks
Bulls
Celtics
Clippers
Nets
Warriors
Rockets
Heat
Mavericks

The interesting club on this list is the Chicago Bulls, who rose 100% in value last year. Not a particularly noteworthy year, out in the first round of the playoffs, were without their most marketable star for yet another year. These owners are really doing something right, and the league is benefiting tremendously from it.

Heels, the silly thing is these values are before the new, ridiculous tv deal. They might partially take that into account, but that will push these teams even further up on value.

Geez. You're right.

I'd be intrigued to see what league is growing faster, the NFL or NBA.

My boy Steven O is already raring in midseason form with his barbs - target, unfortunately, my Vols.

When asked about last season, the HBC said that 7-6 (SC's record) was a "decent year," but noted that "In Knoxville, they're doing cartwheels because they went 7-6 and won a bowl game."

I suppose you open yourself up to criticism when the University President puts this together after going 6-6 and getting an invite to the TaxSlayer Bowl..
