-Toronto FC failed to score against the expansion San Jose Earthquakes, with multiple chances to capitalize. By the way, expect a bit more MLS, and specifically TFC commentary on my part from now on.-Evan Longoria hit his first ever grand slam against Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay last night, on a 10-pitch at-bat, in the Rays 6-4 victory.
-Croatia and Greece will be heading to Beijing to compete - and either team could give Team USA a run for their money.
-Manu Ginobili will be playing for Argentina after his playoff injury has apparently healed, and after Greg Poppovich stated that Manu should "definitely not" participate in the tournament if he is not 100%. If I'm a Spurs fan I'm hoping this doesn't turn out the same way as Jorge Garbajosa, when he injured himself in the games, re-aggravating his injury.
-Leo Rautins' performance will be reviewed by Canada Basketball executive director Wayne Parrish, most likely meaning he's headed out the door. I say bring back Jay Triano, and maybe Steve Nash will decide to give Team Canada one more shot.
-NHL commish Gary Bettman has threatened to remove the New York Rangers from the league. MSG chairman James Dolan doesn't seem fazed.
-The Toronto Maple Leafs are giving away all of their pre-season tickets for free, for one exhibition game against the Buffalo Sabres.
-Harsh words were spoken about the turf at BMO field, and even the practice field.
-J.P Riccardi stated that not one call has been made on anybody, concerning interest in players, when asked about A.J Burnett inquiries.
-Talk about making a mammoth impact. David Beckham's arrival in the MLS has sent ESPN ratings skyrocketing up to 150% higher than previous years, while raising fan attendance of the Galaxy road games from 16,770 to 28,035. Oh, and did I mention his jersey has sold more than 300,000 - which is more than guys like Derek Jeter, Reggie Bush, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. To put in perspective, Kobe and Lebron's jersey sales were in the 70-80k range.
