Klinsmann changes his mind Oh, great.
With news circulating that Klinsi has all but donned red, white, and blue, he has now withdrawn his name from further consideration.

A Prayer for the Tampa Bay Rays While the Cubs fan has the pity of national baseball writers and the consolation of a fraternity of similarly deluded millions, Rays fans are seen as a possibly spectral phenomenon. Dick Vitale is the team's only celebrity fan; a great proportion of the typical Rays crowd shows up wearing a Manny Ramirez or Derek Jeter shirt. In enemy territory, even at home in Floridathat's the life of a Rays fan.

Manchester City make it the Big Five. The final day of the EPL's season-opener transfer window turns out to be a historic day for the blue side of Manchester.

I've been following City through three divisions of English football, with the nagging reminder that we haven't won a legitimate trophy since the 1976 League Cup and a major trophy since the 1969 FA Cup. It's been rough. Ten years ago we were in Division Two. Just ten years ago. Now look.
Sure, Liverpool and Man United supporters will say you can't buy history, but you know what? We just bought a future.

This is one of the best days of my City supporting life.
AND we got Robinho!

Fantasy League Kicks Out Mike Holmgren's Daughter Seattle Seahawks Coach Mike Holmgren said that his daughter Calla was recently booted from her league "because of 'inside information.' But I will say, she was clean. It was the appearance."

NBA Trademarks 6 Possible names for Oklahoma's team... and they are 6 of the worst names I've ever heard.

If you think about Oklahoma City's proximity to and history with Tinker Air Force Base, and the fact that the Midwest City High School (for the unacquainted: the suburb in which Tinker AFB is primarily located) nickname/mascot is the Bombers, then I don't think that Bombers is too terribly inappropriate. It wouldn't be in poor taste at all and the people who are repeatedly saying that it is are the ones who need to pull their heads out of their behinds.

Josh Childress spurns the Hawks & the NBA for the Greek League. Childress will be playing for basketball powerhouse Olympiakos. Olympiakos finished as the runner-up in the Greek League, and made the quarterfinals in Euroleague 08.

Childress just wanted to get his. I don't blame him. I'd do the same thing.

Paul Ince is Blackburn's new manager and first black English manager in EPL. Frenchman Jean Tigana with Fulham and (Dutch/Surinamese) Ruud Gullit with Chelsea and Newcastle are the only other two black managers to have managed in the Premier League. Ince will be officially presented as Blackburn's manager on Tuesday.

Part of a bad season with Macclesfield, one season with MK Dons, and he's ready for the top flight? I suppose it's better than Newcastle's attempt to get Alan Shearer to be their manager.

Mark Hughes is new Manchester City manager. The former Manchester United star and Blackburn Rovers manager takes over from Sven-Goran Eriksson. The article also mentions that Hughes was non-committal on the impending purchases of Brazilians Ronaldinho and Jo. The next Manchester derby should be a rousing affair, with Hughes going up against old boss Alex Ferguson. Meanwhile, with Hughes' move, Chelsea loses yet another candidate to replace the departed Avram Grant. And Blackburn appear to be in no hurry to fill Hughes' spot, with candidates such as Sam Allardyce (late of Newcastle and Bolton) lined up.

Thaksin was NOT thinking. He's not a football guy and, more than likely, looks at City as a really expensive toy he can show off. Hughes is a step down in terms of managerial pedigree, but maybe he can surprise.

Junior Mint: The enduring popularity (and ubiquity) of the 1989 upper deck Ken Griffey Jr. Card When Griffey hits home run No. 600, don't look for the value of Upper Deck No. 1 to skyrocket. After all, there's likely a card in circulation for every person living in the city centers of Cincinnati and Seattle. That sheer quantity, though, does mean that the lasting image of Ken Griffey Jr. won't be anything he does on the baseball field. It will be a picture of an overjoyed teenager in an airbrushed Mariners hat.

I've got a McGwire 1984 Team USA card. Thanks for nothing, Big Mac.

Manchester City qualify for UEFA Cup based on good behavior. They almost lost the spot to Fulham, who barely escaped relegation from the EPL. "The fair play system awards points based on criteria including respect for opponents and the referee, positive play as well as the number of yellow and red cards received. City will not be able to host the first qualifying round tie at Eastlands as the pitch is due to be relaid once a Bon Jovi concert has taken place on 22 June."

As a City fan, I'm excited that we'll be going to Europe, even on a technicality in the lesser tournament. Look out, Faeroe Islands!

Manchester United Complete Double The Champions League final was won on a sloppy rain-soaked pitch in Moscow when Manchester United held off 10-man Chelsea on (gag) penalties after John Terry slips taking decisive attempt.

Basketball team resists Saudi restrictions on female athletes. These Saudi women are going to play basketball, by gum, and there's nothing you can do about it. Zahed, who prays regularly and wears a head scarf even when outside Saudi Arabia, said that nothing in Islam bans women from sports. "Our society just has to get used to it," she said. "It's not yet normal for them to see women playing sports. But times are changing, and they have to start accepting it." (There's even a video of them playing.)[via]
