The Los Angeles Lakers did their part and won the first two games in their arena. I don’t have the stats in front of me, but coming back from down 0-2 in the NBA Finals hasn’t probably been done too often. That’s the challenge that faces the Orlando Magic as the series moves to Florida for the next 3 games.

The Super Bowl is one of the few major events that travels to a new location ever year. Rarely does the host city actually have their own team playing in the game, giving it a neutral site feeling. There are several cities in the Super Bowl rotation, but other cities are awarded the big game if they build a new stadium, like Detroit and Indianapolis.

So today, I tried to “Stump Zeke” with Super Bowl trivia. I ask him “What city hosted three of the first five Super Bowls?” You will have to watch the video to find out the answer.

The NBA Finals start tomorrow, so I wanted to try and stump Zeke with a basketball question. Knowing he follows Orlando Magic basketball I figured he would get this one right… but I went ahead and asked Zeke “who holds the NBA record for most assists in a single game?” Think you know the answer? Check out the video to see if you’re right.

Kids growing up today probably don’t know much about Cy Young, except that he has an award named after him. Cy Young was a baseball player who pitched for five different major league teams from 1890 to 1911. Young was in my opinion the first great baseball player. He ended his career with 511 wins and 7,355 innings pitched, both MLB records to this day.

The 2009 NBA Finals are set. The Los Angeles Lakers won the Western Conference while the Orlando Magic won the Eastern Conference, stunning the Cleveland Cavaliers along the way. The fist game of the Finals tips off on Thursday in Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant is looking for his first title without Shaq, something he failed to win last year against the Celtics.

Maybe a brand new Ben Roethlisberger jersey is in her future.
