LHK (catch-up) Sporting News

SO MUCH has been going on, but here are the biggies:

1) First and foremost, (as you all know) the supernatural Michael Phelps has finally reached legend status by winning 8 gold medals in Beijing! It was super-exciting to watch all of his races, and I can't thank all of the Olympic male swimmers enough for providing SO MUCH eye-candy this summer.

2) The English Premier League is back! Chelsea played their first game against Portsmouth this past Sunday and won 4-0, playing with such great style! They're on top of the league, where they should stay. Come on, Chelsea!

3) Speaking of Chelsea, my beloved John Terry has been named captain of England (again) ahead of their game against the Czech Republic this Wednesday. Fabio Capello has made a wise and excellent choice in picking JT; actually THE ONLY choice in my book.

4) In tennis news, Rafa Nadal won the gold medal in men's tennis in Beijing and now is also #1 in the ATP rankings! Bravo, Rafa, you deserve it! Check Rafa out in the current New York Magazine too (thanks to Kennethinthe212 for the link).

1) Bravo to Michael Phelps on winning his first 2008 Olympic gold medal and setting a world record in the 400 IM!

2) Speaking of the Olympics, Ana Ivanovic, the top seed in the women's tennis event, has withdrawn with an injury to her right-hand.

3) With the English Premier League 2008-2009 season starting this coming weekend, I'll be doing some research in order to see if any changes need to be made to my TOP 5 Hottest Playaz from last season. I'll, of course, keep you posted...

4) Speaking of English football, the Community Shield went to penalty kicks today with Manchester United (boo! spit! boo!) winning on penalty kicks (3-1) over (better-looking) Portsmouth. Oh, for fok's sake; here's hoping Man U's success ENDS TODAY!

Very Nice!

I GOTZ to get me to a newsstand and pick a copy of the August 2008 Men's Journal! Foxy (and shirtless) Olympic swimmers, Michael Phelps (who bears a slight resemblance to my tennis coach, Connz) and Ryan Lochte are on the cover.

Those torsos just KILL me! Dah-YAMN!

(Thanks for the heads-up, Kenneth).

Bravo, Venus!

Bravo to (big sister) Venus Williams on beating her younger sister, Serena, in today's Wimbledon Ladies' Championship match. The duo are also in the doubles final later today!

P.S. More U.S. Olympic swimming trials on NBC tonight!

Some major sporting events are taking place tomorrow to kick off the long 4th of July holiday weekend:

1) The Wimbledon Men's Semi-Finals; Marat Safin versus Roger Federer AND Rafa Nadal versus Rainer Shuettler (coverage starts at 4am PST on ESPN2). Lady Lorelei and I concur that a Marat-Rafa sandwich would make an IDEAL (and delicious) FINAL!

2) Then, at 8pm on ABC, tune into the Olympic Swimming trials. I only got three words for you: 1)Michael 2)Phelps 3)Speedo!

More Important But...

I know there are more important things in the world, but...

1) YAY!! Bravo to Novak Djokovic for beating and unreigning Roger Federer at the Aussie Open! Amazing!!

2) Speaking of tennis, the Aussie Open Women's FINAL is tonight on ESPN2 at 6:30pm PST!!

3) Also, Robby Ginepri has actually won a 1st round match! Well, I should hope so since it's the 1st round of a challenger event in Hawaii. Here's hoping Robby gets some wins and some confidence back; go, Robby!

4) I'm digging this song "Middle of the Sea" by a London band called SEQUOIA.

5) Boo! Mr. French is apparently dating Rosario Dawson.

6) Let's not forget about Olympic swimmer, Michael Phelps. Can't wait to see him swim this summer in Beijing!

7) Bacon Cocktails?!? Wha??

P.S. Just wanted to send a little random shout-out to Mrs. S!
