Langston Looms Large

Checkered flag = Keith Langston

Keith “Mississippi” Langston is becoming quite the attraction these days in Pure Stock racing at Orange County Speedway. Langston won his second race in a row at OCS over the holiday weekend and is beginning to break away from the other drivers in the point standings. If you aren’t on his bandwagon yet you better hop aboard soon because there isn’t much more room left on the wagon. Langston is a supreme driving talent and would be a huge asset to any Late Model series team looking to step up their team. Congrats Sippi!

Beasley Introduced to the NBA

Check out the video clip below which displays Michael Beasley of the Miami Heat being introduced to the NBA by former NC State stud Cedric Simmons who now plays for the Chicago Bulls. Beasley might have beeen embarassed by that block, but he did score 28 points in last night’s summer league game. The number one pick Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls only dropped 10 points and had 5 turnovers.

Ochoa Say No

Lorena Ochoa

Rumors are starting to be kicked around that Lorena Ochoa will be the next LPGA golfer to play against a PGA golfer. Unless this is going to be played as a “just for fun” event this is a bad idea all the way around. Anika Sorenstam and Michelle Wie have both attempted this before and MISERABLY failed. I want to be clear that I am by no means prejudice rather a realist in this respect. Ochoa should stick to the LPGA where she is incredible rather than embarassing herself in an event against a PGA golfer.

Somewhere Jack Sikma is Crying

Jack Sikma

The Seattle Supersonics are officially now a defunct NBA team. Owner Clay Bennett finally came to an agreement with the city of Seattle which will allow him to terminate the lease with Key Arena and move his team to Oklahoma City. Bennett will have to pay the city of Seattle $75 million, but he doesn’t care because he won the overall battle. The team will have to come up with a new name and colors because the Sonics name along with the green and yellow must stay. What will the new Oklahoma City franchise be called? The Drillers, Lariats, Thieves or something else? Thoughts or ideas?

Favre Fever

Brett Favre

It’s early July which means NFL traning camp is just around the corner. This also means it’s time for the Brett Favre is returning to the Packers rumors to start flying. Chris Mortensen has reported Favre has been in touch with head coach Mike McCarthy informing him he still has the “itch” to play. The story went on to state that even Favre’s family is encouraging him to return. This news in conjunction with Brett’s old teammate Al Harris stating on ESPN radio yesterday that Favre has also informed him he has the “itch”. Based on these stories all indications appear Favre is coming back right? Well, not so fast my friend. The Mississippi’s Sun Herald newspaper contacted Favre and the reports are “all rumor.” Hmmm, someone isn’t telling the whole story it appears. I think this is only the beginning to what will be a soap opera summer in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
