Hmm....

A little more than a week after the murder/suicide involving former NFL QB Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi, boxer Arturo Gatti was found dead. Authorities have detained Amanda Rodrigues, the wife of Gatti, as the prime suspect. What is interesting about these tragic deaths, is the age difference in both situations. McNair was 36 and Kazemi was 2o years old. Gatti was 37 and Rodrigues is 23. Interesting...

Last week, WNBA star Diana Taurasi was arrested for DWI. Taurasi is one of the top 5 players in the WNBA and there was no report on this incident by either ESPN or the WNBA. If LeBron James or Shaq were pulled over for DUI, it would be reported in all major outlets. Isn't any publicity (good or bad) good publicity for a league that is struggling to attract viewers? I guess the WNBA does not want to expose the bad about their players which makes me wonder what kind of product the WNBA is trying to put out.

Alex Rodriguez hit two homeruns saturday to put him 10th on baseball's all time homerun list. Who did he pass? Rafael Palmeiro. My questions is how many people accused of using some kind of performance enhancing drug, will ARod pass with each homerun that he hits??
