Sunday Afternoon
Buckle in.
- Baseball (check local listings)
- Indy 500 (noon ET, ABC, but remember there's 87 hours of ceremonies)
- Detroit/Chicago NHL WC Finals Game 4 (3 pm ET, NBC)
- Byron Nelson (CBS)
- Corning Classic (Golf Channel)
Another day with the mower. If you're asked about the sounds coming from the television outside, tell them it's kinda starting up but kinda not and it's really not sounding all that great and so on.
Sunday Evening
Strap down.
- Coca-Cola 600 (5 pm ET, FOX, but 45 minutes of ceremonies)
- Cleveland/Orlando NBA WC Finals Game 3 (8:30 pm ET, TNT)
- Sunday Night Baseball (Milwaukee/Minnesota) (8:00 pm ET, ESPN)
You've worked hard for two days on that damned mower. Don't you deserve a break? If your family believes not, bring a huge part of the mower inside and set it on the coffee table (with a towel underneath) and poke at it with a screwdriver for an hour and throw up your hands in agony.
Monday Morning/Afternoon
- Baseball (check local listings)
You should probably mow the lawn. After all, you lost your TV last night in the overgrowth.
Monday Evening
- Los Angeles/Denver NBA WC Finals Game 4 (9:00 pm ET, ESPN)
A big bag of fail to the NHL for not having a game on Monday night. And a big bag of fail to you if you can't pull off one more game in this marathon. Switch to water, though; Tuesday's a work day. (Gack.)
If all else fails and your family doesn't believe the mower story or the DVR note-taking or the heat stroke, tell them you've started a second career as a sports blogger and you have to cover all the events this weekend. We here at Blogcritics Sports have it on good authority that this works. Mostly. Excuse us as we look for our umbrellas.
