Barry Bonds, Camilo Villegas, Indy 500, Lance Armstrong, Tony Kanaan, Raphael Nadal, Roger Federer, World Cup Hotties

BYE-BYE BABE

The hit was heard around the world today, as Barry Bonds slammed magic homerun number 715 and claimed sole possession of the number two spot on the all time list. Bonds’ milestone was celebrated in style and with due respect, by Barry’s hometown crowd in San Francisco as the Giants took on the Rockies.

CAMILO VILLEGAS

Athlebrity favorite, Camilo Villegas, completed the Fed-Ex St. Jude Classic today tied for 17th.


Although he didn’t win the event, he won over the crowd. Throngs of Camilo fans, mainly female, were prowling the greens to get a glimpse of the infamous ‘Camilo Crawl’. Unfortunately, we didnt get to see it.

INDY 500

Lance Armstrong can do it all, and today he did. Armstrong drove the pace car in today’s Indianapolis 500 and was presented the helmet worn by hot, hot, hot Indy driver Tony Kanaan of Brazil. Armstrong also presented the drivers with bicycles for the pre-Indy warm ups.

TRASH TALKING ROGER FEDERER
Roger Federer is getting cockier by the minute. Federer now contends that Raphael Nadal is getting “coaching tips” during the matches. (Coaching tips are a big no-no in the rules book.) On Friday, Raphael Nadal was asked if his uncle and coach provides in-match instruction, something Federer claimed after losing to Nadal in Rome earlier this month. The reigning French Open champion, Nadal, responded in that sweet Spanish voice: “If my uncle didn’t receive a warning in Rome, it must be because he was abiding by the rules,” Nadal said. “If my uncle was truly giving me coaching tips, he would have gotten a warning. All he was doing was spurring me on, saying, ‘Vamos!’ (Let’s go!) ‘Venga!’ (Come on!) ‘Con fuerza!’ (Go for it!)…explain to me: What kind of rule is this that coaches can’t say anything during a match? In what other sport does that happen?” he asked. And what did our favorite Spanish export have to say about Federer after this? “I know he’s No. 1. He’s the best,” Nadal said. “He can beat me in every surface, any match.” Talk about a humble hottie, or was he being facetious? Nadal is 5-1 against Federer in their careers. After the most recent loss in Rome, cocky Federer pulled out his famous excuse for losing: “He (Toni Nadal) was coaching a little bit too much again today. Yeah, I caught him in the act.” Pa-leeze!

WORLD CUP

Another fabulous World Cup fan has lifted the bar, or bra, higher. Brazilian soccer hottie Cicinho was more than happy to oblige a request to autograph bra’s. Keep up the good work girls!


The shirts are coming off more than just the fans. Germanys Marvin Mapip reminds us that when soccer hotties get excited, they take off their shirts. God bless the World Cup.


Gotta give props to adidas for one upping-Nike so far in the World Cup advertising wars. A hot, giant poster of Germany’s sexy goalkeeper Oliver Kahn was unveiled at the Munich Airport today. The 65 meter long poster is part of an adidas campaign.


While Nike hangs a giant United States soccer team jersey on the parking garage of the Connecticut Convention Center today. Where’s the giant Landon poster?


The Ecuador fans scare me.

That’s it for today. As always, thanks for reading. Delinda
