The Day After...

So Barry Bonds has now surprassed the Babe and added another record to his resume...does he bring another asterik?

This weekend saw some great Track and Field action. The Reebok Grand Prix in New York brought out an old friend-a healthy and strong Marion Jones. Jones bouncing back after nearly two years off proved still that there is very minute competition. She still has improvement to make, but showed she's well on her way and possibly, looking to be better than ever.

Justin Gatlin, while being whooed by the Philadelphia Eagles seemed to leave the pursuits of an ailing franchise and the rest of the 100 meter field all wondering when he'd be available to take any time to take them seriously. However, Asafa Powell, did not race and we'll just have to wait for that matchup hopefully later this summer.

These are the types of stories we need during non-Olypmic years to highlight the fantstic feats of these professional athletes. So Barry Bonds has now surpassed the Babe and added another record to his resume...does he bring another asterisk?

The Piston's are going home and this year not ever after the NBA Finals, but the Conference Finals. I'm sure one person, possibly GM Joe D. awoke to wonder if Ben Wallace already had flights scheduled for the first day of free agency.

Mark Cuban man just is the happiest man in Texas right now. His Mavericks showed a great deal of resilience and a new defensive attitude, Coach Avery Johnson has come in a made the team one to be reckoned with.

Checked out the Detroit Tigers lately? Something you might want to put on your priority list...

South Beach decided to bring the Super Bowl atmosphere back a little early; advancing to the NBA Finals for the first time in team history, Shaq, D. Wade and Pat Riley are looking to solidify careers and make more history with a first ever title.

With the World Cup just about ready to hit high gear, there have been concerns about racism related violence by soccer hooligans being a big problem. I say, no problem, let’s just take those caught and convicted and show them eighty-percent of a game and then place them in solitary confinement.

This is a global athletic event that will have millions of eyes and ears in tune, so racism related crime must be stomped out and eradicated if the diversity of these teams, crowds, workers and nations are to come together and truly be a meaningful event.
