In Other News....What You Don't Read About In SEC Articles

Tired of hearing about the SEC being the greatest thing to happen since the invention of the wheel?  Tired of hearing about the SEC combining their powers to create Captain Planet?  In other news....there are many great sports stories to write about.

If you haven't noticed, Michael Phelps has won six gold medals already (all world records), going for eight.  Just for kicks, he's from the University of Michigan.  Therefore, as an Ohio State fan, I hope he stubs his toe on the bottom of the pool.  As a fellow American, I hope he finishes with two more golds and two more world records.

U.S. gymnasts Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson won gold and silver in all-around competition, holding off the underage Chinese.  As far as I know they sung the national anthem with their own voices even though President Bush recommended they lip-sync to the tune of Carrie Underwood.

The Redeem Team, aka Team USA, looks to continue their redemption when they face Spain tomorrow.  They have already left China, Angola, and Greece in their wake.  They allowed nemesis Greece 69 points, compared to 101 the last time they met.

Kyle Busch continues to dominate NASCAR as Dale Junior is hanging in there.  As the Chase nears, he is in contention to win his first Sprint Cup Championship.  It's a shame they won't claw each other like Milka Duno and Danica Patrick might do in the Indy Racing League.

Manny Ramirez seems to be doing just fine without being able to randomly go behind the left field wall through a secret doorway.  His ex-teammate, David Ortiz, was thought to of been in China as displayed in a recent television commercial.  However, it has since been determined that the Chinese government used a stunt double they thought was a "cuter" specimen.

These are just a few stories that could lead to very interesting articles on B/R.  However every time I log in, I make a bet with myself whether or not I'll be reading an article about the oh-so-wonderful SEC conference.  I always bet myself that I won't.  Of course, I haven't won yet.  So amidst all the boring old news I read every day, I hope you enjoyed something different and fresh.  I look forward to reading about other things going on in the world.  "The power is yours!"
