Weekend Sports Musings – 7/4/2009

Tiger Woods and Anthony Kim battle it out at the AT&T National. Tiger, host of the tournament implements new rule stating, “Only Tiger Woods can win.”

Serena and Venus Williams faced each other at Wimbledon today.  Serena won, but Venus gave her a really bad “Indian rug burn” after the match.

Reports out of Orlando and Toronto now confirm that Hedo Turkoglu is being courted by John MayerPortland and Jennifer Aniston console each other.

Manny Ramirez returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend on the road to a chorus of boos and cheers.   He is expected to receive a much warmer welcome at home. Meanwhile, Roger Clemens has been seen in Texas recently wearing dreadlocks, hoping for a warmer reception by the Hall of Fame, U.S. Government, and his in-laws.

And finally, Joey Chestnut, the returning “Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest” champion ate 68 hot dogs and buns to defeat arch-nemesis and six-time champion Takeru Kobayashi. Chestnut then celebrated his victory by swallowing Kobayashi whole, as per traditional rules.

Happy Fourth of July, folks!

Fivetoolplayer won a championship his first and only season playing little league baseball as a member of the "Richmond Learning Center." His pitiful attempt to play soccer (2 own-goals, and 300 orange slices eaten) are only overshadowed by his even more pitiful attempt to be humorous. An attempt that misses so badly - it evokes memories of trips to the free throw line during a short-lived intramural basketball career. (Career points : 2)
