We can?t cover everything that happens daily in the world of sports, so we?ll give you a quick look around at the stories we didn?t quite get to today.
We hate bringing news like this, but we have to. Josh Hancock was driving while drunk at the time of his fatal crash and marijuana was found in the car. All those athletes who just get away with DUI’s are the lucky ones. Josh Hancock was one of the unlucky.
Tom Gordon was placed on the disabled list today. That leaves their opening day starter Brett Myers in the closer role, an interesting shift just over a month into the season. Myers earned the save last night though, maybe he found a new role.
All 20 horses entered in the Kentucky Derby underwent random drug tests today. When steroid tests start happening in horse racing, you know things are getting out of hand.
Scratch that, when steroid tests are happening in high schools, you know things are getting out of hand. Florida is beginning a crackdown on steroid use at a young age, which I guess is a good thing, besides the thousands of loopholes within the program.
Tiger Woods is stalking at the Wachovia Championship and that means bad things for the rest of the players. Woods is gearing up for what we can predict will be dominance for the next month or so. I’m going to go out on a limb and say he put Augusta behind him.
Is there going to be a continuation of American billionaires taking over English soccer clubs? Paul Allen denies it, but there are rumors he’s involved in a takeover of Southampton FC. He should probably focus his efforts on the Trailblazers, but there’s nothing wrong with diverse investments.
Anibal Sanchez was sent down to the minors by the Florida Marlins today. That’s tough to swallow, especially since he was replaced on the team by Jorge Julio. I know the 4.80 ERA Sanchez had wasn’t good, but it’s a hell of a lot better than Julio and his 19.06 ERA and blown saves to come.
