- Real seems to be at a point to buy Kaka. I beg them, though, to buy a top-notch defender too, to replace Canna.
- Florentino Perez became presidente of Real sans opposition. He's the guy credited with the Galactico strategy in the late 90s, bringing Ronaldo, Beckham, Figo and some more dudes to Los Merengues. I guess Kaka is the first. Will there be more?
- The BigLead has a different take on the reconstruction of Los Blancos.
- Lots o' Cats news, although most of it isn't "Cats" news. Calimari's Memphis Tigers have been in the news. Instead of linking to different articles, I suggest you take a look at John Clay's site.
- Taylor Phinney, at only 18, won the U-23/Espoirs Paris-Roubaix. This seems like a pretty amazing feat to me. There was a pic posted of his Trek, and he had a jerry-rigged seatpost just to put 6'4" huge frame on a standard issue bike. I don't think he'll be in standard issue bikes for long.
- Baseball is up and going, and the Reds are mediocre as usual. The Tigers aren't too bad; maybe we'll get a game sometime this summer.
- I'm glad LeBron lost, for some reason. 'Course, I'm not much of a Kobe fan.
- Finally, Fed, Fed, Fed. If you don't understand, then you don't need to. I like this piece from S.L.Price. Like the entire world knows, this is the window. We'll see if he can get through it. He is in the semis now, after a relatively easy match today.
That's a wrap, unless I come up with more goods.

Is the Phinney guy a child of cyclists? I seem to recall the name Phinney from way back when I sort of followed cycling (which was when Chris followed cycling, in high school).
Oh yes! His dad is Davis Phinney, who won something like 600 races in all (US, Euro, etc.) and his mom is Connie Carpenter Phinney who won the '84 gold in the road race and who may have also won medals in speed skating. He's the progeny, no doubt.
Aha. That's why the name sounded familiar! He's certainly got the genes there...
