In one of the most amazing stories you'll ever read, Hulk Hogan sounds ready to channel O.J. Simpson in spirit and in fact over his ex-wife Linda shacking up in his 20,000 square foot house with one of their daughter's 19-year old friends. Don't take my word for it, check out this quote: "I could have turned everything into a crime scene like O.J., cutting everybody's throat. You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater [Florida] and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife...I totally understand O.J. I get it." Amazing...Less than half of NFL teams are starting quarterbacks they themselves drafted so if your team is drafting a QB later this month, don't get too excited...what a week for New York Yankee Nick Swisher who started the season 10 days ago as a bench player. Since, he's hammered a bunch of home runs, hit north of .400, pitched a shut out inning, and the guy he was behind on the depth chart - Xavier Nady - is now out for the year. As statistically the fourth unluckiest hitter in 2008, he's got the mojo working in 2009...speaking of the Yankees, they finally open their $1.3 billion stadium today. USA Today has a tidy graphic that details nine things you didn't know. Worth a look here. Coverage is on SportsNet at 1:05...Cristiano Ronaldo scored an absolute screamer in the 6th minute to dagger his compatriots FC Porto and send Manchester United into a Champions League semi-final date with Arsenal, who rolled Villareal. It is also the second straight year where three English Premier League teams made the semis at the most prestigious club competition. Does anyone think it'll be something other than Man U vs. Barcelona in the finals?...if Marc-Andre Fleury is shutting you down, don't make long term plans for the playoffs, Philadelphia Flyers...is it just me, or do none of the NBA Eastern conference playoff matchups look at all attractive? The West, however, is loaded with intrigue. Check them out here. That said, if Kevin Garnett is out for the playoffs, you have to think the defending champion Boston Celtics aren't going deep...nice to see Isaiah Thomas introduced as the new coach at his Florida International University presser as Isaiah "Thompson". If that don't tell you what kind of job that is, nothing will...St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter is the latest arm to go down after getting hurt batting. I know purists love NL style ball, but doesn't protecting guys who are already more injury prone outweigh that?...finally, testing out something at RM today - how much these ads are counted.

What'cha gonna do?!?!?!

No comment on Michael Vick's reality TV show?
A set up has been made for Man U to have the worst season ever:
Lose to Arsenal in the Champions League Semifinals
Lose out the league title to Liverpool
Lose the FA Final against Chelsea
Either that, or they beat them all to do set up the best one, which seems more likely given their run of late when silverware is on the line, no?
But for fun, let's look at it.
Man U has a game in hand and still leads by one. If you want to assume they drop four points down the road and Liverpool don't slip up once, with Gerrard hurting while Rio Ferdinand has just returned, you'll get great odds on that.
Chelsea? They CRUSHED them the last they played and Chelsea isn't making it regardless - Barca is the class of that matchup and likely fav for the Champions League, so they won't even GET to the final, much less beat United. Haven't they given up 7 goals in the last 120 minutes or so? Yikes.
As for Arsenal, they're just not quality enough and minus William Gallas in the middle, far too inexperienced to navigate that semi-final.
I'm not saying they're going to take 5 trophies, but they're not losing the league and they won't be losing to Chelsea in the Champions League final because it will be Barca who gets there.
