On top...for a little while


English Premier League leading Chelsea will be minus Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba this weekend, both nursing injuries, when they take on Wolverhampton in action today. Manchester United hosts Everton in the late one today, kicking off at 12:30.

Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin are the main event tonight at UFC107 tonight in Vegas. Should be real interesting with two guys who aren't shy about mixing it up, nor are Josh Koschek and Anthony Johnson who are on the undercard. The rest of the card can be seen here.

And while we're on the subject of MMA, check out the 50 Greatest MMA Dominations.

Stanford and Cal are the only ranked opponents facing each other this weekend on the NCAA schedule. Stanford is a house of fire lately and will likely pound Cal this weekend. Also of interest is the annual war between Michigan and Ohio State, and when I say war, I mean "Buckeyes win every year lately".

Inter Milan coach Jose Morinho must've been really attention deprived as a child. Why else would he take every opportunity to force himself into the spotlight? His latest act is to say he's ready to jump back to the English Premier League and form a lasting legacy. Problem with Jose is he defines "lasting" as next week.

French striker Thierry Henry says that he'd be all for a replay of the controversial France/Ireland World Cup qualifier from a few days in which France advanced after a clear and intentional hand ball from Henry. That's mighty nice of Henry, especially when he knows that FIFA would never agree to such an arrangement, which they confirmed in saying there wouldn't be a replay.

As the decade winds down, you can expect a lot of lists to start popping out in the coming weeks. NME.com gives us their Top 100 albums of the decade. More than a few head shakers in the top 10, truth told, and while I love the #1 record, I can't say it was tops. Not sure what was, but know it wasn't that.

Who's got the best record in the NBA? Believe it or not, the 11-2 Atlanta Hawks.

Have a great Saturday!


Check out this piece of work from Robert Caplin at the New York Times. He took 12,000 pictures during Game 6 of the World Series with three different cameras and pieced it all together in a three-and-a-half minute time lapse video. Pretty freaking impressive.

Cuse takes out UNC, not sure Roy has the talent to win this year.

Not sure if this was posted in an earlier edition but karo Parisyan is the latest to leave UFC.

Great EPL games today. Liverpool draw, Arse lose to Sunderland and United score 3 while Everton fans shouted: Die, Kai Rooney. Kai being his newborn.

Nate Robinson shoots and scores on his own basket and gets an earful from D'antoni:
