Jose Canseco, Hero A fascinating op-ed piece by Michael Chabon, who finds much more to appreciate than one would superficially expect.

I'd say Selig is guilty on both counts of knowing what was going on and being too stupid to do anything about it. My point is, why didn't Canseco come out earlier? Was he waiting to use his knowledge for profit?

Cleveland coach Paul Silas calls Carlos Boozer a c**t.
From a player; well, alright. But from a coach? Yikes.
It's even sillier in the verbatim.

I'm sure that he has a reason for that and the question I have is this: what will Boozer do since he can't get Silas fired (or can he?)

No way. Anyone can dig deep enough and figure the stats for themselves, so there is no legal way to prove that the stats came from a card.

The Ball Makes the Call The governing organization for soccer will be testing a ball with a microchip that wirelessly alerts a referee when goals are scored, an experiment supported by FIFA President Sepp "Hot Pants" Blatter.

Good or bad calls as part of the excitement? When my favorite team is hurt by a bad call, I want to strangle someone.

I agree with the chip idea, but why not just have a booth that can make a ruling on disputed calls?

It's about time something was done. What would be better is for a booth to review fouls and goals.

UEFA to implement a home-quota rule? The Telegraph is reporting that UEFA have ruled that by the 2008 season, clubs playing in European competitions must field at least eight home-grown players in their 25-man squad, 4 of which must have come from each team's own training/development squad. Of the 32 sides in last season's Champions League, five clubs would not have had enough home-grown players to satisfy UEFA's new rule. They were Arsenal, Chelsea, Celtic, Rangers and Ajax. (via the Sports Economist - which has some additional links and commentary)

It's about time something like this happened. Maybe if MLS implemeted a rule similar to this regarding nationalities, soccer would gain some popularity in the states.

Politics in sports rears its ugly head again. It didn't matter if it's part of a sports celebration, part of history, or symbol of bad times ... the fans are up in arms over it.
