On The Couch May 2, 2009

By Andy Villanueva

Reporting from my couch – Figuring my love for watching sixteen different sporting events on any given day, it would be beneficial to give my thought and insight to sports watched from your four major sports and anything minor to big events.

Its the first Saturday in May, which means its Derby Day! If your looking for programming for anything on ESPN, forget it. Its all about the Kentucky Derby.

With that said enjoy watching nine full races between ESPN and NBC. The Derby begins at 3pm.

Look for a great race, with Friesan Fire winning from the front end as the track came up muddy and will have a hard time getting dry by post time.

Earlier on NBC at 11am you can treat yourself to some Stanley Cup action as the Pittsburgh Penguins invade the Washington Capitals. NBC is beside itself to have this game today as it pits Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin. Sit and watch just 10 minutes of this game and you may change your mind about the sport.

Tonight its the exciting conclusion to the Chicago-Boston NBA playoffs series. I will take Chicago to knock off the champs. The Celtics were lucky to get out of Boston with a Game 5 victory. Unlike others who think Rajon Rondo should have been suspended, I believe it wasn’t as flagrant as the Dwight Howard elbow.

The Los Angeles Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers both play today. Angels face the New York Yankees at 10 am on FSW and the Dodgers host the San Diego Padres at 7 pm tonight on FSPT.

Last but not least, NASCAR is on FOX at 5 pm as the drivers battle it out on the ¾ mile track at Richmond International Raceway.

Have fun this Saturday and get a recap of what this couch potato did tomorrow morning
