Saturday, August 16th, 2008 - As Close As It Gets

In case you were dead, Michael Phelps won a close race last night for his seventh gold of the Olympics...I have heard of the legend that is "To Catch A Predator", and now I get it. Check out these Top 10 moments in that show's epic history...and finally, Canada will check in with a medal - gold or silver - in women's wrestling. Are you like me, and thought women's wrestling meant WWE Diva's only?...Mariano Rivera blew another tie game last night. Money when in a save situation, and freakishly, not at all when tied this year...the English Premier League kicks off this morning, and with it, a glorious 10 months of action on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Former Man United skipper and now Sunderland manager Roy Keane says Chelsea will take the EPL title this year. He correctly had Man United last year. Sorry Roy, you're wrong this time. Repeat Man U, Chelsea again second, Liverpool third, and I'll take Tottenham for a surprise fourth with Arsenal fifth. Expect Arsenal to have a strong start with an easy slate of games the first two months...the fine folks at Pinnacle (click on the link at the top of the page for more information including how to open an account) have Asian Lines now too for EPL, among others. I feel an itch I must scratch...around 10:30am Eastern today, expect to see Jamaican Usain Bolt destroy the world record in the 100m. Bolt ran a 9.92 in the second round of qualifying and let up before the race was even half done, looking around like a guy out for a stroll in the park. Was a time that 9.92 was a podium performance, not an effortless time...looks like Maurice Edu of Toronto FC is off to join one of the most storied clubs in the soccer business in Glasgow Rangers. Edu has been less than impressive this year as TFC's midfield depth grew, but good for him and the MLS if they're developing guys to play for clubs of that stature. Rangers were UEFA Cup finalists last year, after all...have a great Saturday.

Like biig head said at RC, Bolt has the perfect name. Ran 9.85 jogging in the semi.

Donovan Bailey thinks well see a sub 9.7

And Bailey was right. An insane 9.69. More insane because he was celebrating with 15 meters left. And even more insane because there was no wind to speak of helping his time. 9.5 is not out of the question for this guy.

USA crush Spain 119-82. Easiest bet I ever made was US winning Gold

I woke up just to catch Bolt, and so glad I did. Witnessed history. Afterwards all I could say was wow. What a special athlete...
