Poppa's Picks
Poppa's Picks of the games to watch is back in full force with a ton of important games this weekend
Inter Milan X Juventus - Friday 2:45PM ET
Diego's been called back up for this showdown at the Guiseppe Meazza. Juventus are looking to finish the season with a spot in the Champions League. With just 5 games left they'll need to win this game in order to take try and take that 4th place spot away from Palermo. A more dier Inter also need a victory here to keep up with Roma who are one point ahead in the race for the Scudetto. Inter have the extra burden of facing the world great Barcelona in the Champions League next week. It'll be interesting to see how Jose Mourinho deals with this one. I think both sides will lose points here. A soild Inter defense will keep it 1-0 until a late equalizer from new Italian citizen Amauri ties it up. Zanetti scores for Inter Milan.
Manchester City X Manchester United - Saturday 7:45AM ET
The first major derby of the weekend is going to be a great one. City have been on a roll, winning 6-1, 5-1, and 3-0 in their last 3 matches. United on the otherhand have been eliminated from the Champions League, lost to league leading Chelsea, and tied a weak Blackburn side since their last victory. City want a chance at the Champions League next year, but have Tottenham on their tail. Expect them to go ahead by two, and get a 2-1 victory at home in this heated rivalry. Tevez will stick it to Sir Alex with two goals. Nani will net one for the Red Devils.
Tottenham Hotspur X Chelsea 12:30PM ET
After beating Arsenal Wednesday for the first time in 11 years in the Premiere League, Tottenham and North London see another historic derby at White Hart Lane. Chelsea can make a big statement here and almost wrap up the English League with a win. They have been in fantastic form opening up a 4 point lead in the table. Tottenham are also playing well, and are looking to snag that last Champions League spot from current incumbents Man City. Chelsea's Brazilian star Alex said his dad thinks Chelsea are going to win the EPL, so I'm going with poppa-dukes. Chelsea will make a show of it 3-0. 2 goals from Drogba, and Malouda will tack one on.
Bordeaux X Lyon - Saturday 3:00PM ET
Bordeaux suffered a tantalizing loss to Le Mans Wednesday, and slipped behind Lyon in the standings. However they still have a game in hand on the former champions, giving them a huge advantage in claiming Ligue 1's last Champions League spot. But if Lyon win this game like I think they will, it will be hard for Saturday's host to steal it away. Lisandro will keep up the scoring and net one for Olympique Lyonnais before Pjanic finishes Bordeaux 2-0.
Real Madrid X Valencia - Sunday 3:00PM ET
The talent on the pitch when these two Spanish giants square off will be immeasurable. Having said that, Valencia is still miles away from Real. Madrid will finish the season with something to prove, and may in fact win out, putting all the pressure they can on last year's trophy winners Barcelona. Although David Villa and company will slip up on this one, I think they'll still hold on to that 3rd place spot, so you'll definitely see them in the Champions League next season.. Cristiano Ronaldo will score again, as well as a substituted Benzema. The Galacticos 2-0.
Other Games to Watch
Wolfsburg X Werder Bremen - Saturday 9:30AM ET
Always a good game when these two sides meet, two of the richest clubs in Germany.
Stuttgart X Bayer Leverkusen - Saturday 12:30PM ET
Stuttgart tries to hold back Leverkusen's title hopes even more in this one..
Espanyol X Barcelona - Saturday 2:00PM ET
Must be the weekend for derbies, let's see if the red hot Blaugrana can keep it going in this Barcelona classic.
AS Roma X Lazio - Sunday 12:30PM ET
Another European derby match. This game means so much to the city of Rome, but perhaps more for Inter.
FC Porto X Vitoria Guimaraes - Sunday 3:15PM ET
Probably means more for Vitoria than Porto, but a good battle in the North nonetheless.

NBA Playoffs
Here at Confessions, we love our soccer, but we're also passionate about the NBA. 16 teams, 1 goal. Here's what the first round will look like:
East
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Chicago Bulls
Orlando Magic vs. Charlotte Bobcats
Atlanta Hawks vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat
West
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
Dallas Mavericks vs. San Antonio Spurs
Phoenix Suns vs. Portland Trailblazers
Denver Nuggets vs. Utah Jazz
These first round matchups prove why the NBA is one of the best, most competitive leagues in the world. All of these matchups are really good. Kobe takes on this year's scoring champ, and the youngest of all time Kevin Durant. My favorite series are Hawks vs. Bucks and Mavs vs. Spurs. We'll see if the Celtics can transform into the playoff team they are supposed to be for atleast a round or two. I like the way the Suns and Magic are playing heading in, but the Lakers and Cavs will be tough to take down. I'd love to see a Nuggets/Celtics finals but that's being too wishful. The Lakers will probably be there with Orlando.

Nike Ad - O Drible da Vaca
Robinho is doing work with these damn Nike ads. It's kinda gettin sickening, especially since there are rumors Michel Bastos is going to steal his spot for the World Cup.

Messi Was the Golden Child
Little Leo Messi is very little in this video... either 5 or 6 years old. This must be the reason why Barcelona tied him up at 12 years old.
