Today's stories are not about the devastating war in Ukraine. Instead, this weblog post is about Rafael Nadal; Novak Djokovic; Matthew Stafford; Tom Brady; and Lebron James (plus other NBA stars). Let's start with Rafael Nadal, as the Spaniard tennis star won the Australian Open in January 2022. Nadal beat Daniil Medvedev in a five set thriller. Nadal lost the first two sets, and he had to win the final three sets in an epic 324 minute match. Rafael Nadal won his 21st grand slam title, to break the tie with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. In sequence, Novak Djokovic is the next topic of the second paragraph. Novak did not get vaccinated against Covid-19, and he was deported from Australia in January 2022. Since he missed the Australian Open, he could not defend his title. The stubborn Serbian tennis star has won the Australian Open a record nine times. Yet, he is still ranked #1 in the ATP tennis rankings. Novak is not playing in the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, CA; and in the Miami Open in Miami, FL. Next, Tom Brady retired in February 2022 after his Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the LA Rams in the 2021 NFL season's divisional playoffs. Tom changed his mind to irritate the author of this post, on March 13, 2022. Brady has decided to come back for the 2022 NFL season. Like myself, there are a lot of fans that wish Brady did retire forever. In Super Bowl 56, the Buccaneers did not make it to this game. Following Tom Brady, this weblog post's fourth paragraph is centered on Matthew Stafford. Stafford led the Rams to victory over Brady in the divisional playoffs; and to another exciting victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl 56. Super Bowl 56 was played in SoFi stadium in Inglewood, CA. SoFi stands for the Social Finance company. Matthew Stafford won his first Super Bowl ring, and Vonn Miller won his second ring as they are teammmates for the LA Rams. Cooper Kupp won the Super Bowl MVP, as he caught two touchdown passes from Matthew Stafford. Onto the NBA, LeBron James is the main person in this fifth paragraph. LeBron James is playing for a LA Lakers organization that will not have a winning record this year. Currently, the Lakers are nine games under .500 with a record of 29 wins and 38 losses. James is tied for the league lead in scoring though. Anthony Davis has missed many games this year, and the Russell Westbrook trade did not produce great returns for the Lakeshow. Carmelo Anthony teamed up with LeBron this year, and Anthony may be excited when the dreadful season is over. In closing, check out the picture above of Stephen Curry. Today is his 34th birthday. His GS Warriors are in 3rd place in the Western Conference. It is great to see Klay Thompson back in the Warriors uniform. Hope there is a new NBA champion this year, as the Milwaukee Bucks are in third place in the Eastern Conference. Happy Birthday Stephen Curry!!
