Olympics Open in China China didn't just walk onto the world stage. It soared over it. At last playing its long-sought role as Olympic host, China opened the Summer Games in spectacular fashion Friday with an extravaganza of fireworks and pageantry dramatizing its ascendance as a global power

Cheating Eight Year Old Player banned from an Under 10 tournament for 'receiving instructions' from her father through a headset.

I guess rules is rules, but the father should have been penalized instead of the child. It seems as if he was the grandmaster of the plan anyways.

Michelle Wie Disqualified for Scorecard Gaffe In second place at 17 under after three rounds of the State Farm Classic Saturday, Wie was disqualified from the tournament for failing to sign her second-round scorecard until after leaving the scorer's tent. "She was like a little kid after you tell them there's no Santa Claus," said LPGA official Sue Witters.

Robot Bob Sheppard?
There is a suggestion by some that Bob Sheppard voice (announcer at Yankee Stadium) be converted into a text-to-speech program so that he may always be the announcer at new Yankee Stadium.
One gentleman has compiled a result of what it might sound like.

That's a li'l bit too Stephen Hawkings-ish for me.

Michigan to pay $2.5M, Rodriguez $1.5M to satisfy WVU buyout -- Former West Virginia University football coach Rich Rodriguez and the University of Michigan have agreed to pay a $4 million buyout clause and settle a lawsuit that WVU filed after he broke his contract in December 2007. (previously)

Sounds like the new era of Nick Saban to me, with Bobby Petrino and rich Rodriguez screwing over their employers.

Sonics are Oklahoma City-bound "The transition and move of this team begins tomorrow morning," Bennett said in Oklahoma City, where he announced that season ticket sales for the soon-to-be named franchise at Ford Center would begin Thursday.

I hate it when sports teams move. Unless, of course, I hate said sports team.

Dara Torres, 41, qualifies for Olympics, rewrites swimming records. Dara Torres qualified for her fifth Olympics, 24 years after her debut in 1984. At 41, two years after having a child, she's still kicking ass and breaking records. Torres swears by resistance stretching and has volunteered for drug tests amid allegations of steroid use. Awesome pic (holy six-pack, Batman!) and more detail about Torres at kottke.org (where I first learned of Dara), plus even more detail at NYT and Wikipedia.

Former Chargers Safety Terrence Kiel Killed Kiel, 27, died last night when he rolled the 2004 Chevy sedan he was driving in Scripps Ranch, Calif. An eyewitness saw him driving the wrong direction on the road before the accident. Kiel, a second-round pick in 2003 and immediate starter for the team, saw his career derailed after he was caught shipping two boxes of codeine-based cough syrup via FedEx in 2006.

Driving on the wrong side of the road? Hmmmmmm.......

Brewers make trade for pitcher C.C. Sabathia Minor-league prospect Matt LaPorta is included in the deal In a bold move designed to end the club’s 26-year playoff drought, the Milwaukee Brewers agreed in principle Sunday night to acquire Cleveland left-handed pitcher C.C. Sabathia in exchange for top prospect Matt LaPorta and three others.Neither side would officially confirm the deal because paperwork still was being completed and medical records exchanged. But a source familiar with the discussions said minor-league pitchers Zach Jackson and Rob Bryson also were in the deal. The fourth player could turn out to be third baseman Taylor Green, the Brewers' minor-league player of the year in 2007.

Im not quite sure what to make of this since i dont really follow the minor leagues, but the Brewers will get a good pitcher out of it.

Nadal-Federer epic the most thrilling of all the Wimbledon finals I came here to see what the buzz was and was shocked to see Nadal/Federer hadn't been posted already. I only saw part of the match and sadly missed most of the last set, but it seemed pretty epic to me, especially during the 4th set tiebreaker.

I guess Federer is no longer the dominanat force in Men's tennis

The state of Cuban baseball. Michael Lewis writes a brilliant piece in Vanity Fair about Cuban baseball and some of the defectors. Informative, insightful, long. Single page version.

Are you ready for some football?....Sit Down! The Kansas City Chiefs have a "Fan Code of Conduct," which is essentially a list of rules that fans have to follow when they're attending a game at Arrowhead.
posted by BoKnows at 07:50 PM on July 07
It sounds like one of those ideas that never get off the drawing board, but this one apparently did. It'll be hillarious to see how the Chiefs pull this one off.

Sorry bout that. So much for the olympic peace treaty. Tourists being killed, Russia invading Georgia. But the opening ceremony was very nice.
