The other coach in the Super Bowl, Harbaugh’s brother John, also disagreed with the president.

Nice work by the Harbaugh brothers reacting to a question that probably shouldn’t have been asked anyway — we’ve seen enough hand-wringing about Obama’s hypothetical son to last a lifetime. There’s plenty of room for debate about how to make the game safer — but can’t we just enjoy the Super Bowl for a week?

Nowadays the rapper is singing a different tune, and throwing his support in the direction of the crowned Miami Heat.

https://twitter.com/LilTunechi/status/217378634460176385

Yes, in case you forgot, Juwan Howard has been the Heat’s primary benchwarmer this year, and now he gets to retire with a ring on his finger.

Some of us have caught on to the bandwagoning, steadily picking up just how flimsy Lil’ Wayne’s support can be:

https://twitter.com/NOPeteHere/status/217297907311837184

https://twitter.com/Clark04Haymaker/status/217372025503752192

https://twitter.com/J_snooks1/status/217380244980641792

One can expect him to stay on the Heat’s scent, at least until the stardom fades and a new powerhouse comes along. Until then, may he be a Heat fan for a possibly long time! Lil’ Wayne’s taken his talents to South Beach … wonder if they’d let him in a game without a ticket?

The notorious Bruce Bowen, former Spurs player who is widely regarded as one of the best defenders of all time, is not too keen on the idea of an actual competition going down tonight:

So Bruce Bowen thinks the Heat are gonna blow the Thunder out in game 1 tonight. He must have his bow tie too tight around his neck.—

In the usual post-game interview for the winning team, captain Dustin Brown allowed his excitement to get the best of himself, letting anyone watching NBC catch a whiff of the infamous f-word. Being live TV and all, there wasn’t much anyone could do but clap their hands to their foreheads and groan.

It’s a word most of us have heard, and almost everyone will hear again. It’s a word you can hear thirty times in an hour-long episode of “The Sopranos.” It’s also a word that’s definitely on the no-no list for a premier network like NBC.

The good news for Brown and his Kings, is that no matter what choice of words he had for the live audience, the Kings are still the Stanley Cup Champions.

However when Bill Murray is around rain delays can end up being more entertaining than the game itself.

Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) June 09, 2012

Having defeated Sara Errani (6-2, 6-3) in the French Open finals, Sharapova achieved something most tennis players can only dream about. Maria has now been the victor of all four major tournaments, and she looks to be unstoppable these days, so who knows what’s next for the tennis star.

This is a truly fantastic turn of events by a driven woman who suffered shoulder injuries and was unable to perform 100% for the better part of the last few years.

Congratulations were clearly in order for the victor and new Grand Slam title holder:

Sharapova is now Lion Kinging whatever infants she can find. You do what you want, Maria. #rg12—

SEGUN (@segun77) June 09, 2012

Maria Sharapova has once again taken the tennis world by storm, and she looks poised to stay on top for quite some time.

To do that, they’ll have to take down one determined Celtics team.

Boston has defied the odds time and time again to keep their season alive, and they’ve become quite a special group when it comes to doing things the hard way. They’ll be in South Beach for Game 7, and with the way LeBron finished Game 6, they’ll have to beat the reigning MVP when he’s at his best.

So what’s the analysis, sports fans?

A part of me is happy that there is a game 7. It's gonna be much more embarrassing when the Celtics beat the Heat IN Miami.—

Jeremy Lamb, the star shooting guard who spent two years wow’ing crowds at Connecticut, has been chosen by the majority as a top ten prospect. Depending on his workouts, he may even slip into the top five.

Lamb spoke about how he was hoping to show his competitive nature at the combine, and now he’s really proving it: he’s sitting out this round, advice courtesy of his manager.

At NBA combine: Jeremy Lamb says he wants to show teams how competitive he is…so he's sitting out of running the drills?—
