How old do you think they are?

Some are saying 8 or 9 years old.

I'm looking for some tennis fans out there. Wimbledon is coming up and there are some experts who think Raffa Nadal will be able to take Roger Federer this year.

Anybody want to get on that sinking ship with them since Roger will probably end up being the greatest grass courter who ever played the game?

I've been a Shaq fan for a long-time but with this talk about a trade to Phoenix I wonder if it isn't time for him to think about the r-word (retirement). If the trade goes through he would be playing with another former Magic player, Grant Hill. I guess the Suns are looking for a little maturity on the team.

I just hate to see players like Hill and O'Neal falter in the twilight of their careers when they could leave when it's time and be remembered for the great players they are.

What do you think?

Everyone is saying professional sports is about to take a hit from the Mitchell "Steroid" report.

What do you think? Do you think after the report names names people will take some of these athletes off the pedestal they've been put on or will the masses just pause for a minute and then forget? 

Ever since the rise of Ultimate fighting and mixed martial arts you really don't hear much about plain old boxing. I have to say I'm not a huge fan of either sport but maybe this is just the natural progression of things and by that I mean from relatively violent boxing to the seemingly over-the-top violence involved with these cage matches.

Does anyone out there wonder why people complain so much about violent crime but then the sport so many people cherish celebrates bare nuckle brawling?

It looks like the man who ended up with barry bond's home run record breaking ball could walk away with half a million dollars.

What do you think? Is it worth that much with all of the speculation about whether the record is tainted and should it end up in the hall of fame someday or just in someone's private collection?
