Manny Ramirez suspended for substance abuse: Of all the stars that had been linked to substance abuse, Manny Ramirez had not been one, until he was suspended for fifty games today for violating baseball's substance abuse policy.

Dominating: The UConn Huskies (of the female variety) finished off their unstoppable run to the national championship last night with a 76-54 dismantling of Louisville. According the the linked article (from SI.com), this team is the first team in the history of college basketball to win every single game in their season by double digits. They did this in a conference that got seven teams into the NCAA field, with four making it to the second weekend and two to the Final Four. So now, is this team the best women's college basketball team ever?

Small issue: I've been trying to edit my profile-thing (the thing @ "customize") for a couple weeks now so I can cause links to open in a separate window. However, no changes I make in that section seem to save. I've tried changing the bio section as well as just the where links open option, but nothing seems to stick. Mac OS 10.5.6, Mozilla Firefox 3.0.8

Diplomacy by sport?: Two of Iran's top club soccer teams, Persepolis and Esteghlal Tehran may be traveling to the United States for a tour culminating in a match between the two clubs. The tour is still to be approved by the Iranian government, but should it occur, it could mean a large step towards peace between the two countries.

Six.: - overtimes, before the Big East tournament game between Syracuse and Connecticut could be decided. Not quite the longest game in NCAA history (seven OTs), but certainly close.

In other news than the World Series... ah, who am I kidding, I'm not going to talk about the Europa League.
'Grats to the Yankees. So glad my dad's at home and I'm at school so I don't have to hear all about it from him.
Side note, I dunno if any of you are regular listeners to the Guardian's Football Weekly podcast, but they did a live video-cast of today's pod, and what I saw of it was quite nifty. Anyone else catch this/listen to Football Weekly at all?

I've been a (semi)regular member and reader of this site since I was 15, and compared to many other forum-style sites I'd been a member of in the years before and after that, SpoFi is remarkably clean. If a kid has internet access, they're going to be exposed to inappropriate language in some way or another, and honestly, seeing it in a well-moderated setting such as this one would probably be good for them. I've always been really impressed by how mature discussions on this site (usually) are, and it's why I continue to be a member here four years later and try to be active.
That's my two cents on it.

Rubin Kazan held Barcelona 0-0 in Kazan just now. If the two teams had been playing a two-legged playoff format, Rubin would've taken it via their win at the Camp Nou. I hope Rubin make the last 16 of the Champions League, they could do some serious damage and surprise a few people again. And all the other Champions League matches start right about now. Sweet.

I do tend to talk sports a lot on my Twitter, which annoys the piss out of many of my friends, but could come in handy in this sort of forum.

Wow. That's about all I've got on that one. Ridiculous stop, if only a defender could do that on purpose. 99 times out of 100 that's a goal no matter how badly you hit it. And I'd never seen the Stefan play before, that's just outrageous.

Wow, I didn't even realize he hadn't been on the air in a year or so until I saw this headline. Oops.

I think I'd just be a bit scared if my family was getting letters like that. Wow, that's crazy. I also can't offer any perspective on the whole sleeping-with-a-22-year-old thing, as I'm 19, so 22 years old is barely in my league on the other end of the spectrum.

Wilson Palacios of Tottenham Hotspur and the Honduran national team was forced to stay in Honduras to celebrate rather than return to England for Spurs' match this weekend. I'd link an article, but I've got class in six minutes and don't have the link handy. Somewhere on guardian.co.uk.

Dang, Mr Bismarck beat me to that link. Also, the word is that D.Beckham's facial hair looks like 70s pubic hair. Thoughts? (reference from the Studs Up blog by Chris Toy)

SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle
I definitely thought of ZZ number two in MeatSaber's link. Especially since he's fresh in my head with his ridiculous promo for Adidas with Leo Messi.
