The face of USA Softball is retiring. Here’s hoping Jennie Finch doesn’t fade into obscurity. I’m sure ESPN could use her as an analyst of some sort. Somebody somewhere needs to put her on television. Please?

Posted by Michael Emdeyar on July 17th, 2010
[picappgallerysingle id="9356456"]Golf, as we know it, is over. Or, if you like “parity”, the disappearance of Tiger Woods has helped golf. Depends how you look at it.
One of golf’s majors, the British Open, is being played this weekend. And, wow, look at that leaderboard. You have some dude named Louis Oosthuizen firmly atop the standings. Four strokes ahead. Paul [...]

Serena Williams will miss the next three tennis tournaments after cutting her foot on broken glass. The injury will require surgery.
The big question is, will she be able to compete in the US Open in Flushing Meadows? The bigger question is, what in the world was she doing strolling around the restaurant without shoes?

Joey Chestnut Still King of Hot Dogs – Kobayashi Rushes the Stage
Posted by Michael Emdeyar on July 4th, 2010
54 Nathan’s Hot Dogs in twelve minutes. That’s insane. Joey Chestnut will not need to find a holiday BBQ to attend tonight. He’s the winner of the Coney Island Fourth of July hot dog eating competition.
The headline story may not have been the food, but Takeru Kobayashi, who rushed the stage after not competing. He wanted to [...]
Goodbye, Roger Federer
Posted by Michael Emdeyar on June 30th, 2010
[picappgallerysingle id="8939862"]Wimbledon will procees without the mens’ best player. Today, the great Roger Federer was beaten. His take:
“Obviously, people think quarters is shocking, but people would die to play in quarterfinal stages of Grand Slam play. It’s not something I’m used to doing — losing in quarterfinals — because it’s not something I’ve done in [...]

[picappgallerysingle id="7211153"]According to RadarOnline.com, the divorce is almost final. Tiger Woods may be able to start putting behind him the terrible things he did to his wife.
According to reports, Elin will win the lottery. Or much better. $750 million to be specific. I can’t remember a lottery ever coming close to that. What could one buy [...]

[picappgallerysingle id="6338796"]
It wasn’t quite Billie Jean King vs. Bobby Riggs. But, for a few seconds, there was some drama.
James Blake, the world’s #4 ranked tennis player, was getting kicked all over the court by unranked Robin Haase. Perhaps the UK’s The Guardian summed it up best:
The sorriest story at Wimbledon today may just have been that of [...]
Joey Logano Shows Kevin Harvick No Love

[picappgallerysingle id="8960750"]
“It’s probably not his fault. His wife wears the fire suit in the family and tells him what to do, so it’s probably not his fault. It is what it is. It’s just ridiculous. I don’t know what I’ve ever done to piss him off, but he is apparently stupid.”
Ouch. After being spun by Kevin Harvick [...]
A Wild Ride in Indy
Posted by Michael Emdeyar on May 30th, 2010
Of all the things you’d think that could hurt after making your car do things like this, you’d have to be thankful that it’s your leg that hurts. Dude is lucky he doesn’t have a broken neck.
