Thursday, August 28, 2008 - No Ordinary Joe

-SI.com's list of the day ranked Peyton Manning as the slowest athlete (currently), the Big Hurt came in 3rd after the Great Khali of the WWE.
-Interesting headline to note: a possible Halos-Jays deal involving one of Toronto's three short-stops for an Angels player. Torii Hunter for John McDonald sounds about right to me.
-Tiger Woods was on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and said that his 14-month old daughter imitates television golfers' swing motions with one of his wedges.
-Joe Sakic has signed a one-year contract worth $6 million with the Avalanche to play his 20th NHL season.
-A fill in the blanks with Houston Dynamo's Stuart Holden"I'm dying to...", his answer? Knit a sweater before the summer is over...
-10 suggested MLB postseason ad slogans. Personally, I would have put #10 as #1 on the list.
-What did Jason Kidd do with his Olympic gold medal? He gave it away to Elaine Wynn of Wynn Casino for her hospitality.
-Usain Bolt is already back on track, or the track, competing at the Weltklasse meet before a sell-out crowd. Up for grabs are $50,000 (all figures U.S.) and a gold bar worth $27,000 for a new world record, $16,000 if he wins the race, totalling 93K.
-To all the uninformed Canadians out there, don't eat the meat!
-Video of the day: Arthur guest starring Johnny Damon, Mike Timlin, and Edgar Renteria!
