John Isner wins 70-68 in 5th set at Wimbledon

John Isner has defeated Nicholas Mahaut in an 11 hour 5 minute marathon match. The 5th set was 138 games long. There are no words to put this into perspective. There will most definitely never be a match as long as this.

Italy eliminated from World Cup!

Paraguay and Slovakia have moved on after an incredible finish to another game. Italy just did not deserve to move on after the way they played throughout the tournament. Slovakia wins 3-2 after a frantic finish. This is a must see finish to a game. Italy almost equalizes late to move on, but it was to little to late.

Closing in on 11th hour Isner vs Mahut Match

66 to 66 5th set with no end in sight at Wimbledon in the Isner vs Mahut match. There has not even really been close to a service break in quite a while. Make the score 67 to 67 in the 5th set now.

Mahut vs Isner Continues at Wimbeldon

This match at 62 to 62 in the 5th set is impossible to stop watching. How they have kept their concentration is incredible. Over ten hours of tennis. I like tennis, but I am a huge soccer fan. Never thought I would change the channel from the world cup, but this is history. There is not much that could compare to this marathon. These service gamnes are being held pretty easily at the moment. As I write this it is now 63 to 63 in the 5th set. Will continue to update.

De La Hoya Gets Destroyed in a Sad Display

Manny Pacquiao totally dominated Oscar De La Hoya from the opening bell. It was very sad to watch a legend like Oscar get embarrassed. In my opinion they should have stopped the fight earlier then they did. Manny Pacquiao could land at will. De La Hoya was not getting off at all and just took punishment the entire fight. De La Hoya as a business man should have known better than to take this fight. Pacquiao was the younger, stronger, and faster fighter. For a reason only Oscar can answer he came in weighing less than Pacquiao. This was a toal domination and a wast of my money to watch. I think it is time for Oscar De La Hoya to retire.

Patriots Throttle Cowboys

All though it was closer than the score said I must admit my Cowboys got beaten up. Oh well you live and learn right. Hopefully they will get better from this. If they could play in the first quarter ever maybe we wouldn't be having this conversation. It takes them so long to get going on offense. Once they do it is usually lights out, but can't do that against the Patriots. They come to play every single quarter. As a Cowboys fan I am still happy with the season so far. They have played very well. The defense is better than people give them credit for, if you were on the field as much as they were yesterday you would be tired too. Anyway Go Cowboys!

Red Sox vs Indians

What a first game for the Red Sox. Such patience at the plate making Sabathia throw way too many pitches. They are doing the same thing to Carmona tonight, so far it is 4 to 3 Indians because Schilling just gave up a thre run homer. If they keep playing the way they are they should get back in this game. Manny and Big Papi have been lights out, so far in the playoffs. I am looking for a Rockies vs Red Sox World Series and hopefully they can slow down the Rockies.

Arizona Fans Are Ridiculous

Anytime people start throwing stuff on the the field it is an embarrassment. I am glad the Rockies left the field. Whether they thought the call was right or wrong it gives them no right to put players in harms way. I hope the Arizona fans pointed out the people doing it and they don't get to come back. They do not deserve to go to another game. Thats just my opinion I welcome yours.

Joe Torre's Reign As Yankees Manager Likely Done

The New York Yankees ran into a tough Cleveland team and lost the series. I am not a Yankees fan , but I can tell you I am a Joe Torre fan. I really think this is too bad. He has done so much for this franchise. Don't get me wrong in past years he would have been gone years ago. Steinbrenner has softened a little over the years as he has gotten older. I think he will make a big mistake and will lose players because of this move. He took this team which played terrible at the beginning of the season and almost won the division. Time will only tell, but I think this is a mistake.

Cowboys Luckily Pull Out The Game

It should have never happened, but that should describe the Buffalo season. They blow an 11 point lead in 20 seconds. Don't get me wrong I am happy. Dallas kicker Nick Folk is the real deal and he got the job done. Bailed out Tony Romo. What a terrible game he played. Play like that against the Patriots and it will be scary. The Cowboys are 5-0 now because of some clutch play though. What an onside kick by Folk also and Sam Hurd made a great play on it. Poor Buffalo that is a bad bad loss. Tough to bounce back from. Dallas 25 Buffalo 24 How Bout' Them Cowboys.

Nightmare Start for Tony Romo and The Cowboys

Tony Romo throws four picks in the first half. First time anyone has done that since 2005. He has overthrown every receiver he has thrown to. Defense is holding up though. Cowboys kick a field goal and are only down 17-10. Not bad with the offensive half they had. Hopefully a better second half. Cowboys fan here by the way. Trent Edwards looks very good for Buffalo though maybe there new starter.

Jake Delhomme Out For Season

Panther fans how do you feel about David Carr as your new starting quarterback. Forget about yesterday and think back to his Texan days. Matt Shaub is playing pretty well compared to Carr. If your not very good your not very good. Look at Joey Harrington he could go just about anywhere and not be the quarterback people thought he was going to be. Too bad about Delhomme. Looks like he doesn't have much left in him. Too many injuries. Have fun with David Carr. Luckily he does have Steve Smith who makes guys look good. Tell me hwat you think Panther fans.

College Football Top 25

What is going on in college football these days. Is it the competition getting better, or teams not being prepared. Its not like Stanford had won many games this year before USC. Every week these teams are going by the wayside. What is all about. At least I still have Boston College because Notre Dame is terrible. They couldn't score a touchdown against a pee wee team. Who is going to win it all this year? LSU is the obvious choice, but they do not look that great either. Teams are playing very normal, so if you happen to read this please tell me who will win it all. I have no idea.
