1. What's it like to eat a bunch of hot dogs in a real short time? San Diego's own Kevin Ross gets set for the annual Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest in New York on the 4th of July…..how does he do it? He visited with Chris to tell us…
2. We'll never have an NBA team in San Diego, but they will have one starting next season in Oklahoma City….so we have to settle for talking to the mayor of Okahoma City, Mick Cornett, to tell us how exciting it's going to be.
3. Brett Favre is itching to come back to the NFL….hey Brett, make up your mind already!....Coming back out of retirement does not impress me anymore….Staying retired!!!....now, that impresses me.
4. Signature shot of a lost season: Padres catcher Michael Barrett fouls a ball of his own face.
5. A-Rod's with Madonna….A-Rod's wife is with Lenny Kravitz…..Where's Guy Ritchie?? Don't worry, we in the media will let you know….and you'll be dying to find out…..Gregg Doyle of CBSsportsline.com discusses our fascination with athletes' activities off the field.
1. Padres get set for another game vs. Rockies without a backup middle-infielder of any kind….picture Khalil Greene tweaking a hamstring in the 3rd inning….who plays shortstop?? Well….Trevor Hoffman played shortstop at the University of Arizona….Michael Barrett also apparently has played some short…..And this season gets even more ridiculous...
2. The next athlete-celebrity duo?....Reports in New York say Alex Rodriguez has made several late-night visits to Madonna's house….More dirt to come….
3. Lagging ecomony claims its first victim in the world of NASCAR….Dario Franchitti team is shut down because owner Chip Ganassi says they can't find a sponsor….My suggestion: have Franchitti's wife, Ashley Judd, take the funds from her next crappy movie to support hubby's cause….They could put a half-naked photo of Ashley on the side of the car.
4. New champion in the category of worst baseball injury ever….Chris Snyder of the Arizona Diamondbacks goes on the 15-day disabled list with a "left testicular fracture."…OOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<------x-ray of a fractured testicle
(thank you google)
5. Baron Davis signs 5-year, $65-million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers….says Davis' agent: "For Baron, it's always been about the winning."….Well, then, the Clippers would seem like the perfect choice.
