David Ortiz = Liar


  • One lie begets another. First David Ortiz says he didn't know how he could've tested positive, and now comes word that he was notified years ago that he had failed.
  • And the tale of Arturo Gatti gets curiouser and curiouser. First there was mystery as to how he had died which ultimately led to his wife being arrested for murder. Then came a ruling that it was a suicide. And now, his body was exhumed for another coroner's looksie in Montreal, who are not ruling out he was murdered. Very, very weird.
  • Not only is the NHL looking into the Marian Hossa signing for whether there was a salary cap rules infraction, you can add the Chris Pronger extension in Philadelphia to the mission as well. Seriously, did the NHL figure these 10+ year deals some guys were getting weren't done with a wink from team to player?
  • Remove the Edmonton Oilers from the list of those interested in Dany Heatley. Gonna be a tough year for Heatley if he's stuck in Ottawa with a coach he reportedly can't stand. Count San Jose and Montreal among those interested in picking the whiner up.
  • The late Bobby Robson, a huge star in English soccer's history books, gave as good quote as Yogi Berra or Muhammed Ali. For example: "We didn't underestimate them. They were just a lot better than we thought." Plenty more here.
  • Toronto FC drew 1-1 at New England despite playing nearly half the game a man down after a weak red card to Chad Barrett.Oh, and again they gave up a goal in the last 15 minutes.
  • The Toronto Argos and Winnipeg Blue Bombers combined for 49 points. Over the course of two games. When did the CFL become so boring? The Bombers were 13-12 winners last night at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, which was booze free for the game. I'm sure that did wonders for the crowd in that snoozer of a game.
  • how about the five hottest cheerleader outfits? You know, just for fun.
  • check out the boxscore in the Chicago Cubs 9-8 win over the Florida Marlins last night for one of the weirder reads you'll see. Alfonso Soriano, for example, played left field, 2nd base, 3rd base, and finished playing 2nd again. He was not alone.
  • check out Chase Utley's bit of payback Friday night in San Francisco after being thrown at. Awesome.
  • even more awesome than that is David Beckham's free kick goal last night in a friendly against Barcelona played in front of 90,000 in L.A.
Have a great Sunday.
