Three huge sporting events in the USA the next few weeks: NBA Finals, the Belmont Stakes, and the US Open. Here's the contest:

1) Predict the winner of the NBA Finals, and how many games the Series will go. (Ex. Celtics in 7)

2) Will Big Brown win the Triple Crown, yes or no?

3) Who wins the US Open golf tournament?

Here are the rules:

1) All predictions must be made by Thursday, June 5 by 5 PM CST.

2) You must get at least two of the three right to win. Going one for three won't cut it.

3) Tiebreaker: Pick the winning score of the US Open. Example: 1 under, 2 over, etc. If it goes to a playoff that day's score will be added to the 72 hole score for the purposes of determining the winning score.

4) Prize(s): Winner gets free cards and maybe autographs from me. If someone goes 3 for 3, you will be especially rewarded.

Good luck!

    Lakers in 6 (kills me to say that since I've been waiting 17 years for the Celtics to have a legitimate chance again)
    Big Brown - yes
    K.J. Choi -3 (and I'm going to it - so that should be fun) I just like Choi. His high fade is perfect at Torrey, a course I've played.

    << <i>1. The Los Angeles Lakers will win the 2008 NBA Championship defeating the Boston Celtics in 6 games.
    2. Big Brown will win the Triple Crown by out distancing Casino Drive down the stretch in the Belmont Stakes.
    3. Jim Furyk will win the 2008 US Open with a final score of 4 under par at Torrey Pines. >>




    ^^^^^^^^^ I would take this guess with a grain of salt.

    otwcards has been known to snort a mixture of Metamucil and Pixie Stix. This is the only reason he can be picking the Lakers.


    As for my picks, the winning picks.

    1. The Celtics of the North End of Boston will defeat the rapist/adulterer lead Lakers of the Crip/Blood infested city of Angels in 7 games.
    2. Big Brown will win the triple crown though his price will rise with the split hoof.
    3. Mickelson will outduel Eldrick for a winning score of -4.

    Thanks for the contest

    Just thought I woudl go ahead and revive this thread. I do not see anyone with the Celtics winning and Big Brown losing. Should have just made this a "Who wins the US Open" contest.

    Beck came the closest with these predictions:

    2) Big Brown does not win
    3) Woods 6 under
