- Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt ran a world record 9.58 yesterday at the World Championships in Berlin. Scary part is he looked like he barely tried to get that time. Check out the video here if you haven't seen it.
- I don't know that there's anything that Jose Canseco wouldn't do for money, but him being scheduled to fight Rodney King is definitely surprising. Or odd. Or both.
- Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson went off on the subject of players faking injury to stop play when the opposition is in attack. Good for you, SAF. That kind of thing should never, ever enter a game.
- SAF will also be going off on his decimated defence, if a Barcelona bid for Nemanja Vidic is successful. Man U is also minus Rio Ferdinand at the moment as he's hurt. Again.
- Tiger Woods did the unthinkable and choked away a final round lead at the PGA Championship, opening the door for South Korean Y.E. Yang who went on to win the years final major by three strokes.
- here are the 20 sexiest rock star spawn. Some good stuff there, but Nicole Richie at #8? Umm, no.
- the Boston Red Sox are in an epic free fall. 7.5 out in the AL East, and they now trail the Texas Rangers for the Wild Card. Guessing they'd like to have the decision not to deal some young arms for Roy Halladay back, huh?
- Former Toronto Blue Jay Greg Zaun hit a grand slam in the eighth inning yesterday against his old team as the Tampa Bay Rays won 5-2. And as it is Zaun, he had tonnes to say.
- Surprise, surprise, the New York Jets are happy that former coach Eric Mangini is gone, along with his drill sargeant ways. Am sure that they won't miss He Who Shall Not Be Named as well.
That's it for Monday, have a great day.

unless it's a blow to the head, the refs shouldn't stop the game at all.
seriously ... 99 times out of a hundred the "injured" player is back on the field moments later.
if it's an obvious one -- like, say, eduardo's ankle -- sure, but otherwise let them die by the sword.
of course, the game would be better off if they went to "stop time" and not "running time."
that would eliminate all that time-wasting crap.
I'm cheering for Canseco in that fight.
Having read Declan Hill's "The Fix" on the role ref's have played in fixed games, I'm amazed that FIFA hasn't gone to a stop time visible to all to at least give the impression they are guarding against nonsense to the extent possible.
