Vegas, it’s a helluva town: Sacramento guard Mike Bibby dines with his mother, Wayne and Janet are once again magnetically drawn to the high-stakes tables, a Herschel Walker sighting, and Bulls choir boy Kirk Hinrich does the club scene. (Las Vegas Journal-Review)
If you’ve been negligent on all things CFL, well then you missed an Eric Crouch sighting Saturday night. Not only is there a mention of the former Heisman Trophy winner, but you also get a taste of one of the greatest sports names, ever: Spergon Wynn. Toss in a broken arm to former Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams, and you’ve got a busy night in Canada. (Pac’s Rats)
Shhhh. The St. Louis Cardinals have won four in a row, and, as expected, are slowly pulling away in the NL Central. When talk of fortifying the bullpen comes up, comedic names like Joe Borowski and Sidney Ponson come up. Laughter ensues. (Viva El Birdos)
The Hoff, last seen having to drop the don’t-you-know-who-I-am card at Wimbledon, is starring in a musical based on his life. Expect a cameo from huge Hoff fan Dirk Nowitzki. (Celebrity Week)
Now that the Angels have unburdened themselves of surly pitcher Jeff Weaver, it has paved the way for his brother, Jered, to shine. The rookie is now 7-0 with Sunday’s masterful performance against the destined-to-lose-100 Kansas City Royals. (6-4-2)
Not only do bloggers live for the NBA summer league, but they are friends with tall, pretty hot blondes. And yes, there are photos. (Free Darko)
France goalie Fabian Barthez is mentioned in the same sentence as model Linda Evangelisa, even though the romance happened in 1999. The lesson here: all you need to do is date a model once. (New York Post)
A Cincinnati Bengals player gets tasered by the cops for resisting arrest. Sensory … joke … overload. (Sportsfrog)
