And the itemize keeps ontogeny and ontogeny and growing…
Three more underclassmen proclaimed New Wednesday: Memphis juniors Antonio Anderson, Robert Dozier and Texas lowly guard A.J. Abrams.
Anderson and Dozier were role players on Memphis’ team this year, and their early entries become as a big surprise to me. Neither player signed with an agent, so I would expect both to return to school next season.
If Dozier and Anderson were to stay in the draft, that would mean that the entire starting 5 for the Tigers would be in the draft. Let the rebuilding in Memphis begin…
Abrams connected fellow Longhorn guard D.J. Augustin in declaring for the plan on Wednesday. Abrams averaged 16.5 points per game terminal season, but at 5′11″ is a lowercase short to play shooting guard in the NBA.

Tourney Topplers: Big Serve Serena and King Roger Felled
Apparently Rafa was only the first in a string of toppled giants. Roger Federer forfeited a tightly-contested two-set match to Radek Stepanek in the Rome Masters quarterfinals 7-6(4), 7-6(7). I don’t undergo which type of expiration is harder: the one where you intend completely blown off the suite or the one where you’re so unbelievably […]
Apparently Rafa was only the first in a string of toppled giants. Roger Federer forfeited a tightly-contested two-set match to Radek Stepanek in the Rome Masters quarterfinals 7-6(4), 7-6(7). I don’t undergo which type of expiration is harder: the one where you intend completely blown off the suite or the one where you’re so unbelievably close but can’t finish off the few alive points that would have swung the match in your favor. Either artefact a expiration is still a expiration and an exit from a tournament and that’s what Federer did in Rome.
Who’s feat to intend Rome now? Hercules was downed in the second round and now the King has bowed out after a tough battle. Andy Roddick is still in the mix and is a set up on Tommy Robredo. Behind Rafa and Roger losing, the fact that Roddick is still hanging around is the biggest surprise of this tourney.
But move - there’s more! Serena reverend couldn’t hang on to her success streak and Dinara Safina ousted Big Serve Serena in three sets. Safina dropped the first but submissive the second and managed to close out a tight third set to put her in the Teutonic Open semifinals. Safina…Safina…that name sounds pretty familiar. I feel same I meet talked about her…oh yeah! She meet beat the concern No. 1!

So the big news in the women’s tennis and sport concern today is the retirement of Justine Henin and Annika Sorenstam, respectively. Much is to be prefabricated about how these enthusiastic athletes are stepping downbound in their prime and blah blah blah have you seen Ana Ivanovic? Soooo Hot.
It’s a beatific thing for women’s tennis, too, because they’re feat to need some fresh blood on the tour to replace Henin. It also helps that talent is, um, talented (or at small beatific looking). Ivanovich has got both those fields covered. Not only is she attractive, but she’s the top seed in the European Open. So enthusiastic news tennis!
Wait, what’s that? She lost? Whatever, same I care about winning.

Many Thanks for the Fans Who Surrounded Me at Last Night’s Tigers Game
Firstly, thank you to the fan who brought the “Big Papi? More same Big Poopie!” sign. You, sir, are a hero. While I am immensely frustrated in myself for not reaching up with that scatological nickname — indeed, I’m frustrated that I haven’t even heard it before — I am pleased that you, fan with […]
Firstly, thank you to the fan who brought the “Big Papi? More same Big Poopie!” sign. You, sir, are a hero. While I am immensely frustrated in myself for not reaching up with that scatological nickname — indeed, I’m frustrated that I haven’t even heard it before — I am pleased that you, fan with Big Poopie sign, brought it to my attention. It is so delightfully embryonic that no one could take lawful offense to it. Even though Ortiz hit a towering home-run, I could still chuckle at the Big Poopie sign, and it prefabricated another ugly Tigers expiration a bit more tolerable.
Speaking of that Ortiz home-run, I also have to thank the stereotype fulfilling Massholes in our section. Thank you for turning around and art attention to yourself after every Red Sox run. Thank you for standing and trying to intend the attention of the Tiger dugout girls who were throwing out free t-shirts, even though we were a full section away and those girls couldn’t throw farther than 20 feet. Thanks for making it that much easier to ready up my incoherent hatred for you and your brethren.
On that note, thank you fan who threw peanuts at the aforementioned Red Sox fans, which, in a convoluted turn of events, led to their eventual liberation from their seats. And thanks to you, overzealous seating attendant. You may have prevented my assemble from upgrading to the Tiger Den, but you taking your employ so seriously was the catalyst in expelling the Sox fans. Great work.
Big Poopie, ha ha, enthusiastic stuff.

Foul Ball(s)!
There’s something uniquely mesmerizing about this photo. Maybe it’s the countenance on the guy’s face after he completely missed the ball and it hit him in the nuts — something about that countenance says, “Good thing I only need one.” Or maybe it’s the reaction of all the fans around the guy — […]
There’s something uniquely mesmerizing about this photo. Maybe it’s the countenance on the guy’s face after he completely missed the ball and it hit him in the nuts — something about that countenance says, “Good thing I only need one.” Or maybe it’s the reaction of all the fans around the guy — I especially fuck the goofy countenance on the A.C. Slater lookalike above and to the left, not to mention the guy in the Twins equipment to the far right. Maybe it’s that this pictures shows that when a ball comes in your direction, and you aren’t athletically adept at handling it, that maybe you should think about concealment up something other than your face.

Top Ten Plays Include Practice
OK, so this isn’t really new — SportsCenter has included non-game plays in Top Plays for a patch now — but I’ve always found it engrossing when SportsCenter definite to place a non-competitive play in it’s Top Plays (not to mention shots of fans, championship parades and other things that can’t even be classified as […]

Regardless, this bank shot by Morris Peterson during Hornets practice yesterday morning is nothing short of incredible.

It’s official: Justine Henin has retired from professional tennis.
In a news word Wednesday, the concern No. 1 announced her retirement, effective immediately. Her retirement comes meet before the French Open, a slam she has won four times. Hmm - I distinctly remember talking about Henin thinking about retirement about a hebdomad ago.
“It’s the end of a wonderful adventure, but it’s something I have been thinking about for a daylong time,” said Henin at her news conference. “I’ve won everything I need to win, I have more money than I can use in three lifetimes, and I don’t have the module to play one period more.”
I wasn’t really expecting her to meet BAM be finished with it. I thought she might try to intend her game back on track since she’s been slumping the terminal few months and then phase out of the game.
I likeable her game a lot. She was an under-sized player in a field full of power-hitting giants. She was number one in the concern for three years. She had speed to burn and a evil one-handed backhand. And if she isn’t doting every minute she’s on the court, then she did the right thing to retire.
Am I disappointed? Sure - but not in Henin. I’m meet frustrated that I no individual have my favorite player on tour. I’m not feat to sit here and tell that Henin should have played another two years. I’d tell someone to go take a hike if they tried to tell me I needed to stay in my employ another two years; I’m not feat to do it to anyone else.
Some think she’ll become back - to intend that elusive suburbia title. I’m meet not so sure. Maybe Henin module yield tennis and find out she really does fuck it, but there was something about this retirement address. It sounded final; it felt final. And, at the very least, Henin went out on her own terms and I can respect that in anybody.
