Sports to watch on Chicago TV this weekend

April 29--Friday

NFL draft (Day 2), 6 p.m., ESPN, NFL Network: You can switch channels to avoid Ray Lewis and Deion Sanders.

White Sox at Orioles, 6:05 p.m., CSN: Cubs? What Cubs?

NBA playoffs: Heat at Hornets (Game 6), 7 p.m. ESPN: Charlotte can clinch with a win. You know, MJ, there's a really good photo of Dwyane Wade crying, not to put ideas in your head.

Saturday

NFL draft (Day 3), 11 a.m., ESPN: At the rate your draft stock has been dropping lately, this could be your day, Derrick Henry.

Penn Relays: USA vs. World, 11:30 a.m., NBCSN: Kind of a bummer, Usain Bolt skips this one, but Americans Justin Gatlin and Sanya Richards-Ross will be there.

Victor Ortiz vs. Andre Berto, 7 p.m., FOX-32: Leading up to this rematch of their 2011 fight, Berto has been tweeting words like "focus," "work" and "sweat." Think his rep has taken a bit of a beating?

Sunday

Leicester City at Manchester United, 8:05 a.m., NBCSN: The "Cinderella" Foxes can clinch the Premier League title with a win, and what better team to do it against than Man U?

"SportsNet Central: Draft Central," 10:30 p.m., CSN: Dave Wannstedt, Jim Miller and Hub Arkush join Chris Boden to give their takes on the Bears' draft class.

"In Depth with Graham Bensinger: Charles Barkley," 11:05 p.m., FOX-32: Barkley reveals that when it comes to commentary, "I pick my battles very carefully." So this episode's satirical, right?
