It seems the Kurt Busch racing team forgot to turn in an extra set of tires giving them 7 sets which is 1 set over the 6 set policy for practice and qualifying.
His penalty? His No 2 Dodge was held up on pit road by a NASCAR official for 15 minutes while the other cars raced by. Despite his wrongdoing, he will be well-received in the Chase at the Sprint Cup championship opener at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
I’m sure he will make sure he has the required 8 sets for Sunday’s race.
Reggie Bush wanted to end the controversy and decided to relinquish the 2005 Heisman Trophy….like he had a choice?
Rather than expose some bad history about his family accepting gifts and money from sports agents during his years at USC, I think his motive was to move on and play football.
After all, O.J. Simpson was a Heisman Trophy winner and we all know what he did!
So, does Vince Young get the award?…Texas coach Mack Brown thinks so.
Randy Moss would like a new piece of the action, similar to the same action that Tom Brady received with his extension. I don’t believe the numbers will be the same however.
After the New England Patriots beat the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday 38-24, Moss took the time to gripe about his contract during the press conference.
One wonders if he would have talked about it had the Patriots lost. After all, he’s only making 6.4 mil this season, but since he is on the receiving end of Brady’s passes, maybe he feels justified in receiving the same consideration for compensation, or maybe he’s just looking for at the very least, a contract discussion.
While there are no takers in the NBA, Allen Iverson may consider playing in China. Word is that there is interest between Iverson and a team in China.
Why no interest from the NBA? Probably due to the 35 year old Iverson’s knee problems and clashes with his coaches. He may be done.
The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Ohio State Buckeyes are currently ranked 1 and 2 in the AP Top 25.
Boise St. is 3rd , TCU is 4th and Oregon is 5th.
Michigan, under sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson, has moved into the poll at No. 20 having beat Notre Dame 38-24.
Wayne Rooney will not play for Manchester United versus Everton on Saturday because manager Alex Ferguson believes Rooney may be targeted by fans for his alleged sex scandal.
Rooney has been subjected to allegations from a prostitute that he had cheated on his wife last year.
Is this the real reason why Rooney won’t appear? Rooney left rival Everton 6 years ago not on good terms. Maybe Ferguson won’t disclose the real reasons he chose to sit Rooney.
In Flushing Meadows, NY, Rafael Nadal will advance to his third consecutive semifinal in the US Open.
Nadal defeated No. 8 Fernando Verdasco to inch closer to achieving the only Grand Slam title he has yet to win.
No. 1 Nadal will face No. 12 Mikhail Youzhny on Saturday while No. 2 Roger Federer has a tough challenge with No. 3 Novak Djokovic.
Drew Brees completed 27 of 36 for 237 yards and 1 touchdown while Brett Favre went 15 for 27, 171 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception as the New Orleans Saints got past the Minnesota Vikings 14-9 in New Orleans.
Not very exciting for the Saints home opener, but they got the job done by erasing a Viking 9-7 halftime lead on their first drive in the third quarter.
After that it was all defense.
Tim Wakefield has set an unusual record for the Boston Red Sox. He has become the oldest pitcher in Red Sox history to record a victory.
His age of 44 years and 37 days surpasses previous record holder Dennis Eckersley.
Wakefield, with 16 years in Boston, is one victory closer to becoming the winningest pitcher in Red Sox history.
