A – Amare Stoudemire. Amare Stoudemire was spotted courtside at Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals with his new fiancé, Alexis Welch, but without sleeves. Stoudemire donned an epic denim sleeveless jacket to attend the game. If someone would have told me in January Stoudemire would be at the Eastern Conference finals with no sleeves on, I would have assumed the Knicks traded him to a decent team.

B – Boyz II Men. Boyz II Men, the best-selling R&B group of all time, will play a concert Saturday at Pittsburgh's PNC Park following a Pirates game. Boyz II Men have toured since forming in 1988 and never before has the group had an opening act as bad as the Pirates.

C – Cincinnati Bengals. Nate Webster, a former Bengals linebacker (obviously), has been sentenced to 12 years in the can on four counts of unlawful sexual conduct. He turned down a plea bargain for four years earlier during the trial. By the time he gets out of the big house Webster will be 46 and the Bengals will probably still want him. 

D – Dynamo. The Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer have pushed back the start time of their game on June 16 from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. to make the heat more comfortable for players and more comfortable for fans, in case anybody decides to go to the game.

E – Eleven O'Clock News. According to Portland's ABC affiliate WMTW, Game 4 of the Boston Celtics/Miami Heat Eastern Conference finals ended in a tie. During the Eleven O’Clock news, some anchor named Meghan Torjussen was forced to do the sports report, likely against her own will. She amazingly sat there on live air and insisted the game had ended 89-89. Nobody besides Donovan McNabb or Bud Selig believed her. So I guess the series is now tied up 2-2-1.

F – Forty Niner. Someone recently offered Brandon Jacobs $3.36 to stay with the New York Giants. Not $3.36 million, just literally 3 bucks and 36 cents. The offer came from a six-year old named Joe, who apparently loves the Giants. Jacobs is not coming back as he was released by the Giants and signed by the 49ers for a deal that could be worth $1.57 million, barely out bidding little Joe.

G – Good job, Good effort. As the Miami Heat hung their heads walking off the court with their tails between their legs after their Game 5 meltdown loss at home to Boston, some fan got close to on-air microphone and began yelling, "Good job! Good effort!" about 100 times. This quickly hit Twitter, went viral, and shirts were made. The identity of the person was soon enough revealed and, unfortunately, it was not a condescending Boston fan but rather a nine-year old die hard Miami Heat fan who was likely all hopped up on Mountain Dew.

H – Heat. With just about everyone associated with Miami's NBA team feeling the heat (see what I did there), speculation is now running rampant the Big Three might be broken up next season. The moneyline wager on LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all starting the 2012-13 season with the Miami Heat went from –1300 in mid-May to –400 after their Game 5 meltdown loss at home to Boston.

I – Intruder. Pittsburgh Penguin Sidney Crosby has figured out a way to get back to the NHL Stanley Cup Finals…with a ticket! Crosby was spotted at Game 3 of the finals watching as a spectator. Did he have a brother or dad or sister playing or something?

J – Jose Canseco. Apparently Jose Canseco is still playing baseball. Video of Canseco playing for someone called the Worcester Tornadoes in something called the Can-Am League surfaced recently. The video shows Canseco arguing balls and strikes and getting thrown out of the game in front of what appears to be seven or eight fans. A quick search reveals Canseco's stats this season, .171 with zero home runs and 15 strikeouts. Hey Jose, I doubt there is any drug testing in this fly-by-night league, so start juicing!

K – Kentucky. The University of Louisville football locker room urinals have a decal of the University of Kentucky painted on for players presumably to aim at and get fired up for their one game a year. I guess there are worse places for college football players to pee (see U.)

L – Lockout. CNBC sports biz geek Darren Rovell was conned recently when he was doing a story on the impact of the NBA Lockout. Some 18-year-old high school senior named Tim convinced Rovell he was running a New York escort service aimed at NBA players and he was losing all kinds of money.  He  made up all kinds of fake figures (some girls charging $4,000 per hour, typical services lasting from 2-6 hours, etc.) and Rovell took the bait.

M –Moyer, Jamie. Jamie Moyer is poised to die on the mound. The 49-year-old pitcher just signed a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles. Moyer had a 5.70 ERA in 10 starts. His last two starts were terrible; he allowed 16 hits and gave up 13 earned runs, including five home runs in 8 2/3 innings. They say pitchers need to have a short memory. Well, Moyer likely has Alzheimer’s so he's got that going for him.

N – NBA Finals. After the Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics took command of their respective series in Game 5, everyone was coming out of the word work saying they called this Thunder/Celtics series all along. If they were so smart they would have bet on it. After both teams trailed their series, 2-0, the odds of a Thunders/Celtics NBA Finals was 95/1. After Tuesday, before the Thunder even clinched the Western Conference, the odds were 1/1 of  Thunder/Celtics finals.

O – Oklahoma State. Former Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon says he is done with alcohol….for now. The Jacksonville Jaguars first-round draft pick was picked up on a DUI this week during a traffic stop in Stillwater, Oklahoma. His blood alcohol content was three times the legal limit. Blackmon held a press conference with his new team, who drafted him in the first round, to apologize, say he is not an alcoholic and say that he was not planning on drinking….for now. "Right now, I'm done with all that," Blackmon said before getting to the catch. "I can't promise you 10 years down the road that I'm going to be done."

P – Pennsylvania. Miss Pennsylvania won the 2012 Miss USA pageant but now she wants to resign her crown claiming the contest is rigged. That does not seem possible, because if it was rigged, Las Vegas would be the first to know and the oddsmakers had Miss Texas (11/2) as the favorite with Miss Alaska (9/1), Miss Rhode Island (9/1), Miss California (11/1) and Miss Ohio (11/1) all having better odds than Miss Pennsylvania (12/1).

Q – Quick. The Stanley Cup Finals could be nearing their conclusion with the Kings leading the Devils, 3-1, much to the delight of Los Angeles area news networks that had no idea what hockey was before May. There have been numerous bloopers on LA news shows, including the famous use of the Sacramento Kings logo during a feature on the team. The latest gaffe came with a news anchor calling Kings goalie Jonathan Quick, Jonathan Swift. She was close, so we'll give her credit.

R – Ratings. The NHL Stanley Cup Finals are once again being watched by basically nobody besides hockey fans in New Jersey and that one hockey fan in Los Angeles and Best Buy and Game Stop employees. Through three games the Cup Finals were 12-25 percent below ratings from last year's series, which were also pretty darn low.

S – Student Section. We know plenty about the jurors who will gather at Centre County Courthouse for the upcoming Jerry Sandusky trial. There may need to be a student section in the jury area considering all the Nittany Lion ties. Sixteen jurors are needed (12 plus four alternates) and of the first nine jurors picked, five have a direct connection to Penn State. There is a 24-year old male Penn State student whose father worked for the university, there is a middle-aged woman who is a Penn State season ticket holder, there is a 2003 Penn State graduate, a Penn State senior who actually wore a Penn State shirt to court during the jury selection process, and a retired Penn State professor. We are….

T – Tweet. Major League Baseball has found a way to fix the All-Star Game! If making the game decide home-field advantage was not reason enough to tune in, now the league has announced that players will be allowed to tweet from the field after they leave the game. So don’t make any plans for July 10, because you're going to want to see this.

U – Urinating. Jack Mewhort and Jake Stoneburner have been suspended by the Ohio State football team after being arrested for obstructing official business. By obstructing official business they mean by urinating in public and then making a mad dash for freedom when the cops showed up. Mewhort and Stoneburner and a third non-football player were taking a leak in the great outdoors outside a restaurant when cops showed up. The players zipped up, we think, and dashed "about 40 yards" away from the restaurants. So at least NFL Scouts know they can complete the 40-yard dash.

V – Vermont. The six-state region of New England may be good at producing Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup and NBA Finals contenders, but not so much when it comes to Miss USA. At 75/1 Bovada tabbed Miss New Hampshire and Miss Vermont the long shots to win Miss USA this year. They obviously lost as Miss Pennsylvania took down the crown.

W – WNBA. Sharnee Zoll is hitting the unemployment line. The former Los Angeles Sparks guard was waived by her team after she tore the ACL in her left knee. So now Zoll is a former women's basketball player with a bum wheel; she has attributes as attractive to a potential employer as a dope-dealing meth head.
X – XXX. Those awful NHL Stanley Cup ratings likely got a boost when a busty blonde scored a seat at the Staples Center directly behind the New Jersey Devils bench and NBC Sports camera men used any excuse to get her jugs into camera shots. Somehow with only like a few dozen people watching, screen caps of the busty blonde hit the Internet and rumors started circulating that the fan was indeed adult film star Taylor Stevens. The Oklahoma City Thunder are not the only team with porn star fans.

Y– YouTube. Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley was greeted with a stripper at his Las Vegas bachelor party. The stripper was named "Sweet Cheeks,” and, to put this mildly, if "Sweet Cheeks" was a football player, she would be a nose guard. I can imagine everyone at the bachelor party was a "nose guard" when the 300-something pound stripper spread her legs. Credit for pulling off the sumo stripper prank goes to LaMarr's cousin, Sam, and credit to someone in LaMarr’s entourage for whipping out a camera phone and capturing the gyrating thighs of "Sweet Cheeks" and putting it on YouTube. What happens in Vegas, ends up on YouTube.

Z – Zarley Zalewski. The good news for Zarley Zalewski is that he has a cool name and was just drafted in the Major League Baseball amateur draft. The bad news is he was drafted in the 40th round. The worse news is he was drafted by the Pirates.
