You guys probably have already got him on your radars but saw Phil Ferguson from Akron run 21.21 at Jesse Owens Classic. Only a soph.

"Cromartie, who is not married or engaged, has at least seven kids in five states. The 2007 Pro Bowler is now fully recovered from a fractured hip that hampered him throughout last season." Geez, I'm surprised his hip held up as long as it did.

One of the best high school sprint talents ever and certainly the best white sprint talent in who knows how many years and not only is he not able to develop his talent to a higher level but he donates those great sprint genes to the other side. If his daughter is a successful sprinter the...

Spot on post bigunreal. O tempora, o mores.

Hey, if his family is as healthy and body conscious as he is, feeding them might be a problem.

Seems that Beckham will end his playing career in the second best league in America. Does anybody on the board follow MLS closely enough to explain their losses to USL teams? Do they just not give a crap about this competition? http://www.usopencup.com/home/193445.html

This isn't exactly on point but I've always gotten a kick out of the superstars competition and how the "great athletes", while sometimes doing quite well, were just as likely to almost drown in the pool. Men's Superstars® 1973 Bob Seagren, Pole Vault 1974 Kyle Rote, Jr., Soccer 1975...

At least Pickering improved on his PB running 10.14 for second.

From article on IAAF.org after the Paris race: His win came just five days after his personal best 1:45.80 in the 800, boding well as the World Championships approach. But Webb also knows that there's plenty of time and plenty to be done before the Championships in Osaka begin. His...

I like the irony of Henin as Serena's bete noire, in that Henin is one of the smaller more slightly built women on the tour.

Fazekas's labored running up the floor stems from his weirdly high arches. Saw a pre-draft blurb on Fazekas that said he hit nearly 75% from NBA three line in every workout he had.

Hession won 200 in 20.43. Gillick was 5th in 21.12 and John Woods was 6th in 21.18. 4.7 wind. Woods was 3rd in 100 in 10.24.

I can't help but think, if PED's were out of the picture, how good that 10.16 would look.

"...as a matter of government policy the game is being promoted." Stern seems very comfortable working with totalitarians.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The CONCACAF Gold Cup final attracted 41 percent more television households in the United States than the Stanley Cup finals clincher -- and that was just for the soccer game's Spanish-language telecast. Ugh! http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/soccer/06/26/bc.soc.go...
