Tuesday, July 22, 2008 - EuroTrip

-Marion Jones has asked George Bush for mercy on her jail sentence, hoping for a reduction in time. An athlete like that deserves to do the time, so I'm hoping (for once) that Dubya will do the right thing, and make her do it all.
-Not one Toronto Blue Jay hitter is on pace to hit 20 home runs. Sad, isn't it?
-In a very "politically correct" sit-down with Jim Rome, Packers' WR Greg Jennings hinted that the general consensus of the locker-room (in a hypothetical vote) would lean towards Aaron Rogers taking the spot of starting quarterback, over Brett Favre.
-The Big Unit improved his flawless record to 13-0 against the Cubs all-time last night, as he out-pitched Rich Harden to lead his team to the 2-0 win.
-Toronto FC will be hosting the Montreal Impact in a must win game in the last game of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship. TFC Goalkeeper Greg Sutton said that, "It's probably going to be the most important game in club history, and one of the most important games in Canadian history as far as soccer goes".
-Who in their right mind would wear these - after knowing that they were inspired by The Simpsons' Marge Simpson.
-Josh Childress is considering leaving the NBA to play in Europe. This would be the beginning of a free-for-all, concerning free-agent NBA players, as Europe is becoming a lot more attractive financially.
-The Minnasota Twins lost Johan Santana and Torii Hunter this past off-season, yet remain in contention. Now that's solid team management from the boys upstairs. The Francisco Liriano whining is just plain stupid - especially considering the implication is that the Twins don't want to win. Last I checked, the've got some nice depth at the bullpen and can afford to ease Liriano back into the rotation, without destroying chemistry.
-Toss up: which one is the more overrated film, Little Miss Sunshine or Donnie Darko?
-Best line from the ESPY's: "I want to be tucked in by Greg Oden and have him tell us stories about the old days." -Will Ferrell
