Sunday, July 27, 2008 - Bruce Wayne, Superman, The Flash...and SpongeBob?

-British Columbia native Steve Nash has confirmed rumours that he is looking to bring an MLS franchise to Vancouver.
-Future Jays ace Dustin McGowan's season was cut short as he will undergo season-ending surgery on his shoulder.
-Steve Bartman was offered $25,000 to sign a picture of the playoff incident that made him (in)famous at a convention, yet declined. If I'm the guy - I take the risk of possible death to get the cash, but there are probably around fifty different gruesome scenarios floating around in his head right now, or at all times.
-A pair of suits in Bill Gates and Warren Buffett were on hand courtside to witness the bloodbath of the USA-Canada exhibition. Mike Krzyzewski referred to the game as "practice". King James sat out the game, but the Redeem Team still dominated in a 120-65 beat down of the Canucks.
-Baptism in the Stanley Cup? I wonder what the Roman Catholic church thinks about this...
-The Detroit Tigers are statistically the best team in baseball in the past 41 games played, after their dismal start to the season.
-Team USA basketball have been using the age-old technique of aliases for hotels - to avoid attention. A few of the names being used are Bruce Wayne and SpongeBob SquarePants.
-Emeka Okafor turned down a 60 million over 5 years contract last year, expecting a bit more presumably. Not very smart for a guy who majored in finance at U-Conn.
-Ron Artest is reportedly garnering interest in a city that tarnished his career for a while, the Motor City. If I'm Joe Dumars, I might consider going for this trade in light of Artest's history with the city. The Pistons are slowly depreciating and with back-to-back exits in the playoffs the past two seasons, it may be time for a risk/chance.
-Nas' interview and performance on the Colbert Report.
