With the wrap up of another great week of sports, I can't help but notice the role of the underdog in sports this year. From VCU to the Memphis Grizzlies, we got upsets brewing and underdogs ready to bite the big dogs. You could actually trace it all the way back to New Years Day, when TCU shocked the college football world by beating Wisconsin at the granddaddy of them all, the Rose Bowl. Then we had the Green Bay Packers, the lowest seed in the NFC, take the NFL by storm and win the Super Bowl. And who could forget the Cinderella runs made by Butler and VCU during college basketball's March Madness, because Madness is really what it was. And the trend continues; the Memphis Grizzlies are up 2-1 in their series with the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs, the Chicago Blackhawks have clawed their way back after being down 3-0 to tie the series up against the number 1 seeded Vancouver Canucks, and the Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Indians, regular members of the under .500 club, are the darlings of the young MLB season. But will the trend continue? Only time will tell, but for now the little guys are getting their shots and they are seizing the moments.
Always go hard in the paint.
