Roger Federer won his 15th grand slam title in a 4-plus hour match over Andy Roddick at Wimbledon. Looking mighty dapper in his white and gold Nike duds, we might add. Federer's win is significant because he beat Pete Sampras' record of 14. Dejected Roddick gave Federer a run for his money, but in the end, couldn't pull out a win. Serena, however, did just that in a sibling rivalry, where she outplayed older sister, Venus, to win the singles title. Venus didn't leave England empty handed, as she and Serena kept it all in the family by going on to win the doubles title. Mom watched while Dad went home to cut the grass.
Speaking of grass and other illegal substances, Manny Ramirez made his return to the Dodgers after his 50-game suspension for steriod use. The Dodgers faired just fine without him, which really has to make one question whether the "juice" was even worth it.
Manny wasn't the only athlete back on the scene. Lance Armstrong came in 10th at this weekend's stage of the Tour de France. This is Lance's return to the sport after retiring in 2006. Perhaps Lance just wants to see if he still has it, or maybe just needs the prize money to support all his children, particularly with the June birth of his most recent.
On the subject of "cubs", Tiger Woods fittingly won his eponomous PGA charity tour, which benefits kids and Armed Forces.
And sadly, the football world mourns the loss of former NFL quarterback Steve Mcnair who was found shot along with girlfriend in his Tennessee condo. McNair, 36, leaves behind a wife and four children.
