Thursday, July 10th, 2008 - Gillette Curse!

A caller to Hardcore Sports Radio's "Drive This" might be onto something: the Gillette Curse. Tiger Woods - injured and out for the year. Roger Federer - dropping from the top. Thierry Henry - downward spiral to irrelevancy...RM reader "Rat" gives us this interesting baseball stat: the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim California USA North America Planet Earth's Francisco Rodriguez is on pace to smash the single season saves record held by then Chicago White Sox (Sock?) Bobby Thigpen of 57 in 1990. K-Rod is at 35 and on pace for 63...the Spanish couldn't leave well enough alone. Hot on the heels of a Euro 2008 win and Rafael Nadal's Wimbledon win, they still went on with the running of the bulls in Pamplona. Not surprisingly, two people got gored...Rampage Jackson's trainer is filing a protest over the result Saturday vs. Forrest Griffin. Shame. Just sign the rematch and get on with it. That said, there is also talk of a Griffin vs. Chuck Lidell fight. Lidell could be seen practically cheering for Griffin, but after the beating Rampage dropped on him, I could see why...the American Mustache Institute is endorsing Jason Giambi for the All-Star Game. Good enough for me! The Yankees also had a mustache giveaway for yesterday's game. Fake ones, obviously...Ray Emery is going to Russia after no NHL squads expressed interest. Emery in Russia. I cannot see this ending well...ESPN The Magazine's Rick Reilly - still sounds odd to not say "Sport's Illustrated's" - has a great piece on the closing of Yankee Stadium in which several players are openly bragging about stealing things from The House Ruth Built...as mentioned some time ago, FIFA is indeed looking at alternative sites for the 2010 World Cup, which President Sepp Blatter admitted. Blatter also said Manchester United should sell Cristiano Ronaldo if he wants out, because to not do so is subjecting him to "slavery". If pulling his paycheque is slavery, sign me up...a 2-2 draw for Toronto FC against Vancouver Whitecaps last night in a game they led 2-1 late in is a shame. Maurice Edu looks terrible this year...have a great Thursday.

Bukkake says "It's Good To Be A Yankee"...
