Juan Martin Del Potro is your U.S. Open men's tennis champion after a stunning upset win over Roger Federer in five sets. Did anybody figure that RF would lose in a major final against Del Potro? Me neither.
Over my years of watching football, I've seen the Buffalo Bills have some impressive flame outs when they seemingly had a game won. Music City Miracle comes to mind, for sure. Last night's bed soiling was almost on par with that one as the Bills had the game all but won, in New England, and ended up on the wrong end of a last minute, 25-24 thriller to Tom Brady and the Pats. And hey, wasn't the last time the Bills were on Monday Night Football in 2007 that they lost on a last second field-goal with Dallas visiting, with the same 25-24 score?

Arsenal Gunner Eduardo's appeal of a two game Champions League ban for diving a few weeks back against Celtic has been overturned. Again, I'm all for diving being wiped out of the game, but unless Eduardo was a precedent and not just an example, he shouldn't be suspended.
As usual, Sir Charles Barkley hits the nail on the head on the subject of Shawne Merriman's choice in women, specifically Tila Tequila: “Dude, you’re one of the best football players in the world; you don’t get your women off of reality TV.”
