-Alex Rodriguez makes headlines again with "good friend" Madonna, reportedly making late-night visits to her house for presumably their chess club meetings.-Whether or not Brett Favre returns next season, the way I see it is, when you've reached the plateau of greatness that players such as Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Tiger Woods et al., and possess that kind of legendary status - you are always welcome to return. But don't tell that to the Green Bay Packers... or their fans.
-Pardon The Interruption has been absolute garbage and a downright snore-fest without Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser.

-It's official. There will be another Venus-Serena Wimbledon showdown. The Williams' sisters improve their record to a jaw-dropping 100-13 at Wimbledon, can you say dominant?
-Pamela Anderson calls Jessica Simpson a "whore" for wearing an anti-vegetarian top.
-The Toronto Blue Jays begin a road series with the L.A Angels who boast the second best record in the majors (only behind the Tampa Bay Rays, of all teams). But, the Jays have been known to play well against the Halos - so expect a hard fought series.
