Sports: Ryan Howard doesn’t know his record-breaking baseball history

  • Uh, he’s the guy whose record I broke. Not to be disrespectful or anything, but he was before my time.
  • Phillies slugger Ryan Howard • On the occasion of hitting homer No. 200, a feat that took him just 658 games, or just a hair above four seasons. He doesn’t know the guy whose record he topped, Ralph Kiner, but he should. Why’s that? It’s the third record he’s stolen from the guy who was before his time. • source

Sports: Brett Favre’s game of is-he-or-isn’t-he has a firm deadline

  • July 30 is when he decides to come back. Brett Favre’s maybe-he’s-not-retired drama has taken yet another turn. He’s still thinking of playing for the Minnesota Vikings this season, but due to surgery hasn’t made up his mind yet. So he’s given the team a firm deadline to make a decision. So, remember kids, just 14 more days of waiting for him to decide whether or not he gets off the pot. Sigh. source
