Just when you think you know everything about Pat Tillman, you find out something else to make you mourn his passing even more intensely. Share your thoughts with the folks at Sportsfilter. General von Steingrabber is unhappy again, and just how predictable was that? The Sports Prof has some thoughts. Meanwhile, with a far more meager payroll, the Washington Nationals are in first place. That's the last time I bash Aaron Heilman. Until the next time. The guy is the second coming of John Pacella, I'm telling you. Destroy a global investment bank, get a job in Irish Football. Ethnic Soccer violence in Australia? And this isn't anything new down in Oz. Does anybody still care about Tennis? Without the NHL Playoffs, you'll have to settle for Steve Ovadia, who's actually found some encouraging news -- though New Jersey Devil Parick Elias has run into a bit of hard luck. James Mirtle 1 Larry Brooks 0. Will Lance Armstrong retire after competing in this year's Tour de France? My guess is yes, and boy does he ever deserve it. When it comes to getting the 2012 Summer Olympics, London is willing to show a little more leg. It's been 20 years since an American won the Boston Marathon, but I can't seem to gin up any outrage over it. Time was, it seemed as if Bill Rogers and Alberto Salazar were winning the race every year in the wake of the American boom in distance running. Besides, in sports, I like excellence, and seeing Kenyans win by ever increasing margins is all right by me. To all my friends in New England, Happy Patriots Day. My friend David Pinto is at Fenway. And so is Chris Lynch (whew, perhaps NSFW). And finally, here's a tribute to golf writer Dan Jenkins from Houston's Clear Thinkers. Oh, and he's worried about the Astros too. Tattered Coat has a great two part interview with Salon sportswriter King Kaufman (Part I, Part II). Technorati tag: sports
