CONGRATULATIONS, DANICA! MOTEGI, Japan (AP) — Danica Patrick became the first female winner in IndyCar history Sunday, taking the Indy Japan 300 after the top contenders were forced to pit for fuel in the final laps. Patrick finished 5.8594 seconds ahead of pole-sitter Helio Castroneves on the 1.5-mile Twin Ring Motegi oval after leader Scott Dixon pitted with five laps left and Dan Wheldon and Tony Kanaan came in a lap later.

It took nearly five hours, but the Rangers extended the Jays’ home losing streak to four games. The OHL’s version of the Final Four is now set and the league can’t be happier. In the Western Conference, Kitchener faces Sault Ste. Marie – the top two seeds in the conference. While out East, Belleville will meet Oshawa. Again it’s a battle of the top two seeds. I have to say, it surprised me to see Buckner get so choked up more than two decades after his infamous gaffe that contributed to the Red Sox losing the World Series back in 1986. For the first time I stopped to think about what he must have gone through afterwards. Not as a player, but as a person.

First, what are the odds of a F2 Tornado ripping through downtown Atlanta and damaging the Georgia Dome while the game is still going on!!! I’m glad I left the building a hour and a half before all hell broke loose. Al Davis has lost his mind. Someone needs to tell him it’s not 1968 and Darryl Lamonica is bird hunting somewhere in Northern California, not getting ready for mini-camp. That Cliff Branch now runs a 6.4 40 at age 50 something. That Lester Haynes hands have fallen off from years of stickum abuse.
I’ve just returned from the City of New Orleans and I went 500 miles when my day was done. Yes, I was at the Sugar Bowl where I got to witness first hand just why the BCS and the Bowl system are…shall we say, STUPID. A community, a school, friends, and family all needed closure. But how does something like that come for someone who has left such a mark on those he touched…?
