One of the greatest catches you will ever see. He must have had some glue on his hand!

Venus Williams beat her younger sister, Serena, 7-5, 6-4 on Saturday to win her fifth Wimbledon. This was the third time the sisters have faced off at Wimbledon where Serena had won the previous two times. Congrats to Venus on a great match!

With one of the sweetest swings in baseball, Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 600th career home run Monday. With this latest milestone, he becomes the sixth person to ever hit 600 home runs. Griffey should be very proud of his accomplishment seeing how his name has never been involved with steroids or any enhancing drugs. And to think if he had not got injured and missed as much playing as he did in his Seattle years, he could easily be chasing the top spot himself. Congrats Griffey, you earned it!

Is there anything this man cannot jump over?

David Witthoft, the youngster who had been wearing the same Brett Favre jersey every day for more than four years, has finally taken it off.

The timing of Favre’s retirement actually works out pretty well for the young fellow. He was turning 12, and as 12-year-olds often do, he was growing quickly. The jersey he was given on his 7th birthday barely covered his torso these days.

And, being 12, he had also started to become concerned about his appearance, and as far as I know, the “snug, faded jersey that doesn’t cover the belly button” look hadn’t taken hold as a major fashion trend. At least not when employed every single day of the year.

Considering who’s jersey this kid was wearing, it is a fitting streak and time to end the streak. As you may know Brett Farve, who recently retired, is was an iron man in the NFL holding the most consecutive games started by a quarterback at 253. I am sure his mom is glad he finally took it off so she doesn’t have to wash it all the time.

DENVER — NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony was arrested early Monday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, hours after his worst game of the season.

The Denver Nuggets forward was arrested on Interstate 25, police said. He was alone in the car and pulled over for weaving and not dimming his lights.

Detective Sharon Hahn said Anthony failed a series of sobriety tests. He was charged with DUI and then taken to police headquarters before being released to a “sober responsible party,” Hahn said. Anthony is due in court May 14.

Mark Warkentien, the Nuggets’ vice president of basketball operations, said the team was aware of the situation but declined comment. The Nuggets did not practice Monday and Anthony wasn’t available. He’s expected at practice Tuesday.

Anthony’s attorney, Dan Recht, said his client consented to a blood test, but results won’t be available for about two weeks.

“Carmelo apologizes to his fans, the Denver community, his teammates and the Nuggets organization for the distraction this is causing them,” Recht said.

There really is no reason anyone should drive drunk, especially these guys who make enough money to pay for a cab or limo to get home. You may think you are lucid enough to navigate home, but a cab fare is a small price to pay compared to killing yourself or someone else.

SAN ANTONIO — Memphis freshman sensation Derrick Rose had a stomach ailment that forced him to miss media sessions Sunday, but will play in the national championship game against Kansas on Monday night.

Rose received treatment from trainers instead of talking to reporters. Shortly after, the school released a statement settling any doubt about his status.

Teammates weren’t too worried.

“He eats Gummy Bears and Starburst for breakfast, and Twizzlers and Honey Buns for dinner. That’s why his stomach hurts,” fellow guard Chris Douglas-Roberts said. “We tell Derrick the whole year, ‘Stop eating so many Gummy Bears and Sour Straws.’ But he can’t. … Nobody eats Gummy Bears more than him.”

Sunday afternoon, Rose walked into a scheduled group interview with all the starters and coach John Calipari, then went over to Calipari and whispered something to him. They went into the hall together, then Calipari returned alone.

“He said his stomach was bothering him,” Calipari said. “I told him to go back and see the trainer.”

Hopefully he’ll be in top form for the championship game Monday night, he is crucial to his team’s success. It shouldn’t be a problem though, his team seems to be in good spirits about it since they are ragging on him about his eating habits.

These two are pathetic!

Some great recaps of when interviews don’t go according to plan.
