The talk across the World Wide Web today is all about that thrilling (or heartbreaking!) game between the Spurs and Heat last night. Thanks to Ray Allen and some missed free throws, the Miami Heat survived regulation and went on to beat the Spurs in overtime. That loss sets up the two greatest words in sports “Game Seven” tomorrow night in Miami. I’ll be pulling for the Spurs but no matter who wins, the basketball season will be over and I’ll stop talking about it for a few months!

Well since we don’t usually produce a blog on Sunday’s let us just say it now “Happy Father’s Day!” To all the Dads out there near and far, thank you for all that you do for us on a daily basis. From birth all the way into adulthood, there are so many things that Fathers teach us and do for us that deserves recognition! Here’s a Father’s Day poem that I found while searching around for something special –

“Thank you for the laughter,

For the good times that we share,

Thanks for always listening,

For trying to be fair.

Thank you for your comfort,

When things are going bad,

Thank you for the shoulder,

To cry on when I’m sad.

This poem’s a reminder that

All my life through,

I’ll be thanking heaven

For a special dad like you.”

–Anonymous

Today is the new that we say “out with the old and in with the new”! That’s because Thursday’s always mark the day when a fresh new issue of Thrifty Nickel hits newsstands still hot off the presses. So now you see and understand of weekly Thursday motto of “out with the old and in with the new”!

I still can’t believe how thoroughly the San Antonio Spurs beat up on the Heat Tuesday night. That 36 point victory was the third highest in NBA Finals history. Now I’m to smart of a NBA fan to expect a similar performance in Game 4 tonight, but I think San Antonio just might be able to pull off another win. We should all expect a big bounce back game from Lebron James, but as long as the Spurs keep up with the same smothering defense they should be just fine. I’m going to reach into my magic grab bag of predictions and say the Spurs take it tonight 96-91.

So if your Father is a Spurs fan and they don’t win it all, you’re still going to have to find him a present. After all, Father’s Day is just three days away! If your Dad is the best you’ve ever know then maybe he deserves a gift equally as great. I’m taking about buying old Pops a new car or truck to cruise around in.
