No charges against Tom Cable

I wonder if they'll hit Hanson with a filing a false police report charge? Looks as if they should, sounds like they put some time into investigating the situation. If he lied, and caused the use of all those resources that could have been investigating real crimes to be tied up on his lie, then charge him.

Astana's failure to file paperwork on time may allow Alberto Contador to terminate his contract.

From what I've read about the incident, punching out is not what actually happened; Cable advanced on him, people got in the way and Hanson fell over a table.

Or so say the other assistant coaches, who may have reason to be less than honest or may be telling the truth but hardly seem disinterested observers in either case.

Spirit of Shankly hope to turn out a 10,000 strong protest march prior to Sunday's game against ManU at Anfield. They want Hicks and Gillette gone but I think Rafa needs to go first.

My prediction is that was probably the last Yankees loss I will get to enjoy in 2009.

CC has been awesome and the offence is producing, but ...

Remember that Pettite and Burnett still need to start a few more games.

Remember also there's 5 or 6 members still around from the "Greatest Choke in Sports History" (according to ESPN) on this year's squad.

The Phillies aren't a pushover either. Winning the World Series last year and the NL pennant this year means something.
