This Week in Sports

I apologize for being MIA - I got engaged (!), so between work and wedding planning I've had a hard time doing anything else. In other news, my yoga challenge is almost over. I had to extend it because of some family stuff that caused me to miss one too many classes, so it's now like a 110 day challenge. I know, I'm out of my mind.

And now, on to sports updates. Some new, some old in case I'm your only sports update.

Things I liked:

• The NFL draft is happening this week even though no one knows if they'll play or not.
• The other day I decided I should turn on an NHL playoff game, so I set out to find the schedule of my favorite team, the Detroit Red Wings, only to find they swept the Coyotes. Yes, please.
• Something like 5 cars finished at Talladega within half a second with the closest win electronically recorded in NASCAR history. Go to about 2:20 on this video to see it:

Things I didn't like:

• Manny Ramirez was caught doping (again!), so he retired (instead of serving a 100 game suspension).

Things that surprised me:

• Apparently Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari are dating...and got engaged this weekend. Who knew!
• The Knicks were swept by the Celtics. Wait, what's surprising here?
• LeBron James' mom was arrested for assaulting a valet who took to long to get her car to her. Sounds like a classy lady.
