Popo in my Crib News:
There has been a rash of athlete's being robbed in the past few months including news of a home invasion at Eddy Curry's suburban Chicago home over the weekend. One state over, up and coming Busch Series driver Steven Wallace is reportedly ok after three men tried to rob him of his watch in Indianapolis of Sunday. One of the perps has already been caught by the popo. Watch out robbers, because the popo are on your tail! (via Jayski.com)
The FBI and IRS searched Alaska Senator Ted Stevens' home on Monday. Stevens is being investiaged amid a corruption scandal that has already caught two oil executives and a state lobbyist. The probe stems from a 2000 renovation project that "doubled the size of his home in Girwood, Alaska, near Anchorage." Bill Allen, who oversaw the project, has already plead guilty to bribing Alaska state legistlators. Watch out Teddy, becuase the popo are on your tail!
News & Notes: Andy Roddick is blaming a late night snack fest at a fast food joint for his sluggish performance at an Indianapolis tennis tournament on Saturday.

I mean everyone's doing it...Cole Hamels held the Chicago Cubs to just one run in the Phillies 4-1 win on Monday night.

He was 75...MLB isn't the only league hashing out big trades, the NBA will see one of its biggest stars move from Minnesota to Boston. SI.com is reporting both sides finalized a deal on Monday that will move Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Gearld Green and Sebastian Telfair to the Minnesota Timberwolves for 10 time all-star Kevin Garnett...Finally, Brady Quinn is still a no show at Browns mini-camp. The unattractive quarterback and his agent are asking for more money, like top ten draft pick money. Only problem is, his was selected 22nd. Hey rookie, get your ass on the field!
