Good morning everyone, hope you happened to catch the basketball game last night and hope you happened to be Golden State Warriors fans as well. Monday is going to be huge in the Bay Area, as it will feature the Warriors against the Oklahoma City Thunder in a Game 7, and the first game of the Stanley Cup Final, featuring the San Jose Sharks.
I'm not a huge basketball fan and I'll admit I'm only watching now because my team, the Warriors, are good again. I don't really like the sport all that much but man, that game was something else. It was an incredible game overall. I'm a much bigger hockey fan and I'll be freaking out with all the other Sharks fans on Monday. A whole lot.
Oh yeah ... the San Francisco 49ers. They're still a team, I think, and they still have football to play and stuff. Or they will, after they do a whole lot of practicing and running around and fake football. Until then, not a whole lot is actually going on.
So let's jump into your links for the day.
