This weekend was the NFL Draft and continuation on the NBA Playoffs.

NFL: The NFL Draft was not that exciting. The Lions signed Matthew Stafford to a 6-yr, $78 million dollar contract before the actual draft started. Also, almost $42 million is guaranteed. The Jets traded 3 players and two draft picks to Cleveland for the No. 5 pick where they drafted QB from USC, Mark Sanchez. The Eagles picked up wide receiver Jeremy Maclin from Missouri and running back LeSean McCoy from Pittsburgh. A sleeper they picked up was corner back Victor Harris. The Eagles were also able to pick up Ellis Hobbs from the Patriots in a trade.

NBA: The Cavaliers swept the Pistons on Sunday with a 99-78 win. The Bulls tied the series 2-2 with the Celtics after an exciting double-overtime 121-118 win on Sunday. The Mavs took a 3-1 lead over the Spurs despite Tony Parker scoring 43 points on Saturday night. The Hornets grabbed a needed win to make the series 2-1 with the Nuggets. The Magic tied the series with the 76ers last night with a near last second 3-point shot made by Hedo Turkoglu. Finally, the Rockets were able to hold off the Blazers in a 89-88 victory last night making the series 3-1.

NHL: Unfortunately the Flyers were eliminated this weekend from the playoffs, but Pittsburgh is still in the run. Also, the Capitals were able to tie the series with the Rangers 3-3.
