Sports Market Monday (4/27/09)
If it wasn’t the NFL Draft, or the NBA Playoffs, or the NASCAR race this weekend, my inbox would be pretty light but it wasn’t. There was plenty of News makers and breakers this weekend, so I will attempt to write about most of the biggest stories from this weekend.
Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford- Although it was Stafford that was the first overall pick in the draft to the Detroit Lions, Sanchez was indeed the spotlight stealer. Sanchez was picked by the New York Jets and immediately became the newest toast of New York City.
For that, Stafford and Sanchez are up in our market.
Arizona Cardinals- How does the Arizona Cardinals start this next season after one of their most successful seasons ever? They get a player that could potentially be one of the biggest steals of the draft in RB Chris Wells of Ohio State with the second to the last pick in the first round.
Wells will bring a power running game that the Cardinals lacked, for that they are up.
Chicago Bulls- What else can you say after yesterdays 2 overtime victory for the Bulls over the defending champion Boston Celtics? The game itself will likely go down as one of the best games in NBA Playoff history and propelled the Bulls to a two game tie with Boston.
The Bulls are up in our Market!
NASCAR at Talladega- Talladega has to be one of the most dangerous tracks for NASCAR drivers as they are always running at high speeds with dense amounts of traffic. That was the case yesterday when Carl Edwards was spun out of control in the last lap by Brad Keselowski who would win the race.
Talladega is always a fun race to watch, but maybe it’s too dangerous for the drivers. The race is up while NASCAR is down due to safety concerns.
Last Week: Chuck Liddell and the UFC are still down after his last loss; Orlando Magic are tied in their series with the Philadelphia 76ers and are still down; New Yankees Stadium is still down as fans can’t afford the new high prices; Drafting Matthew Stafford was the turning of a new page for the Lions and they are still up.
