GURU Talkin Sports

I'm back from the Memorial Day holiday weekend to talk about the things that I missed during the time off. The Indiana Pacers has reached the NBA Finals for the second time in franchise history, seeking their first NBA championship. They will be matched up with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the crown. The Edmonton Oilers are heading back to the Stanley Cup Final against a very familiar opponent, t...

This was a very chaotic! From the New York Knicks eliminating the Boston Celtics,to the firing of Brandon Hyde. Ok, the clueless Commissioner of Baseball washed his hands with the Pete Rose situation. He took Rose and Joe Jackson off the permanently banned from baseball list. What a coward! You gotta hear my thoughts on that. The 150th Preakness was held at Pimlico racetrack for the final time. In...

Draymond Green, acting like a fool again, but the racist slur wasn't cool. The Celtics had a very rough few games at home, but rebounded to get a win in The Garden versus the New York Knicks. Abdul Carter settled on wearing number 51, instead of 11 and 56. Retired numbers are retired for a special reason. We send out our condolences to former Detroit Tigers legend Chet Lemon. Chet passed away at t...

The Kentucky Derby winner is Sovereignty. He beat put the favorite Journalism to win the 151st addiction of the race. Congrats to the Denver Nuggets on kicking the Clippers out of the NBA Playoffs.

The Oklahoma City Thunder broke out the broom on Memphis. The play that shocked the...

Ok, Aaron Rodgers is upset, again...haha. Give it up for the New York Jets for making a grown-ass decision on moving forward and dropping his ass like a bad habit. The NBA Playoffs are here and I'm not liking what I'm seeing from the Los Angeles Lakers. Please, don't let the Minnesota TWolves take another one from you at home. We paid homage to a former Milwaukee Bucks legend, Junior Bridgeman. We...

BASEBALL IS BACK! In America! We are glad the season has begun for all of the MLB teams. We are keeping an eye on several teams as the season progresses, no World Series predictions at this time.

Florida and Duke are the first teams to advance to the Final Four, the other two tickets will be punched la...

George Foreman, known as the baddest man on the planet in his heyday, passed away this week. Foreman had the best career of any boxer after his final fight in the ring. He was larger than life during the sixties and seventies, but he was able to accomplish the unthinkable at 45 years old. On November 5th, 1994, Foreman knocked out Michael Moorer to claim the Heavyweight Championship, as the oldest...

He's done it again! Rick Pitino has brought the St. John's basketball program back to the top. It's been 25 years since the Red Storm had claimed the Big East title. RJ Luis Jr. scored 29 points, 27 in the second half to lead St. John's to a blow out win in the Big East title game. Florida is another team that the GURU has his eyes on. Walter Clayton Jr. led the Florida Gators to the SEC title gam...

On February 27, we received the very sad and mysterious news that the world had lost a movie icon with Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa, and one of their three dogs. The Santa Fe police department is still investigating and the case is still not ruling out the possibility of foul play. Hackman will always be remembered as an actor that can fit any role and could make it Oscar worthy. From t...

I'm back, after a week off to watch that butt kicking Super Bowl by the Philadelphia Eagles. Well, the United States and Canada had a mini war last night in Montreal. Three fights in the first nine seconds of the game was AWESOME! I love Canada, but the GURU isn't down with the booing during the national anthem. That forced the US to score three unanswered goals, on their way to a four nations vic...

Shock and awe, stunning, surprised, any adjectives to describe what happened over night in the NBA. The Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks pulled off one of the biggest blockbuster trades of all time and probably in sports history. Luka Doncic is now a LA Laker and Anthony Davis is now a Dallas Maverick. The GURU and Kaden GURU discuss this one, and we gave several different options on ho...

Well, How about the Ohio State Buckeyes, the National Champions of college football. This amazing run was historic. After the loss to Michigan in November, the Buckeyes never stopped until the clock hit zero in the Championship game. The Jacksonville Jaguars finally got their act together and hired a new head coach. The story of how they got this guy has to be one of the craziest and chaotic metho...

When you mention the name Bob Uecker, a smile comes across everyone's faces. The former baseball player, actor, comedian and baseball hall of fame broadcaster passed away at the age of 90, ten days from his 91st birthday.
