The Week in Sports...

Joey Chestnut wins the 92nd Annual International Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Where does one discover such a 'talent'? Shoving hotdogs into your mouth until you puke seems to be something I would expect you would discover at a kegger on St. Patty's day and not at Aunt Mavis's 4th of July picnic and fireworks spectacular.

Barry Bonds Smacks No. 751
In a 7-3 loss to the Reds, Bonds hammered away another homer and is 4 away from Hank Aaron and 5 away from breaking the all time record. I have only one thing to say. * Juice anyone? *


Say it, spell it
Evan O'Dorney, 13, wins the Scripts National Spelling Bee. I consider myself a decent speller but these kids are just creepy good. I don't quite understand why they ask for the definition and word origin and all that other stuff. Use phonics, it works for the rest of us. (Hate to admit it, but I watched the last part of this and I didn't even know some of these words existed!)

Oden goes west
Greg Oden became the number one pick in the 2007 NBA draft. Probably the most highly regarded pick since San Antonio acquired Tim Duncan. Only Oden appears alot older than Duncan did when he was drafted from Wake Forrest...even now.


Junior joins Junior
Tony Eury, Jr. will rejoin his cousin and driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. at Daytona International Speedway for the Pespi 400. Eury, Jr. will join the team as crew chief after serving a six week suspension for illegal brackets on the Budweiser Impala at Darlington in May. Eury, Jr. will take the reins back from interm chief Tony Gibson who has lead the team to five top 15 finishes in the last six races and help pull the team back up into the 12th spot in the championship points, after a 100 point deduction following the penalty.

I've just got three words for you. BET THE FARM.


That's all till next time.
