It's been awhile since I've had visit the Corner of Controversy and Criticism, but there are some things that need to be addressed that have been weighing heavily on my mind. Baseball season has started with some big stories, there are problems in the UFC, and Lebron James arrogance may have reached an all time high. Baseball season started back up two weeks ago and…

The New Orleans Pelicans are the first team to advance out of the First Round of the NBA Playoffs. If I was the rest of the Western Conference I'd be extremely worried about the momentum that they have right now! #NBA
Former Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys Defensive Lineman Greg Hardy will be making his MMA debut on June 12th and will be fighting on Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. This could be huge considering the ties to UFC that this show had. Hardy is being trained by American Top Team which is a premier team in the world of MMA. I'll be really curious to see how he does! #MMA #UFC
My thoughts and prayers go out to Danny Farquhar, his family and the entire Chicago White Sox organization. This is a very scary situation. #MLB
ChiSox's Farquhar suffered brain hemorrhage

White Sox reliever Danny Farquhar suffered a brain hemorrhage during Friday's game and is in stable but critical condition.
If MLB went to a shorter season I am sure there would be issues when it came to records again much like when Roger Maris beat Babe Ruth's Home Run Record, because Maris had more games in a season the Ruth had. I think they should leave the amount of games the way it is. If you were going to reduce the schedule then I would say knock it down 150 games. That's a good solid number that's easy to follow and keep track of. #MLB
Manfred: Fewer games would mean lower pay

Commissioner Rob Manfred responded to Cubs star Anthony Rizzo's assertion that MLB teams play too many games by saying if "they're going to work less, they're probably going to make less."
This is actually really cool! #MLB
There’s no friendship quite like Félix Hernández and Adrián Beltré’s.😅
Funny how when Joel Embiid enters a game that the entire complexion of the game changes for the Philadelphia 76ers. I am glad they smartened up and realized that he should playing at a time like this. If it weren't the playoffs I would have taken extra precautions to make sure he was ready to go. Sometimes you're not always going to play at a 100%. #NBA
The Lance Armstrong and Floyd Landis saga that involved multiple Le Tour de France's being ruined and tarnished because of these two. I for one am very happy that there is finally closure on this! #Cycling
Armstrong settles $100M fraud suit with U.S.

Lance Armstrong has agreed to a $5 million settlement of a federal government whistleblower lawsuit that could have sought $100 million in damages from the cyclist.
My thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich on the loss of his Erin. You can tell how well respected this man is when LeBron James almost starts crying on National Television and Kevin Durant is at a loss for words. Pop in my opinion is arguably the greatest NBA Coach of All Time. Praying for peace during this difficult time. #NBA
