A few more quick headlines

Alberto Contador made it through the final stage without incident to become the first Spaniard to win the Tour de France since 1995. American Levi Leipheimer finally made it to the podium and finished 3rd. Aussie Cadel Evans made it across the line in second. I'll write more about the tour later.

The Penguins' Jordan Staal and his brother Eric who plays for the Hurricanes, were arrested for misdemeanor disorderly conduct and obstructing the legal process early Saturday morning. The two brothers were among 14 arrested at Eric's party at a Minnesota resort. The charges are mostly related to several noise complaints received during the party, and Jordan, who is only 18, was also charged with underage drinking. Nothing too serious, I think I'd be more concerned if 14 college age guys having a bachelor party didn't get a little out of control. Shit man, there weren't even strippers involved. What kind of professional athletes are these guys.

Cal Ripken Jr, and Tony Gwynn were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. In an era when baseball is continuously embroiled in steroid controversies, it's refreshing to see two beloved class acts enter the shrine.

Speaking of steroids, Jose Canseco has a new book coming out. In it, he claims to have something to say about Alex Rodriguez. When asked if he was going to accuse A-Rod of using steroids, Canseco just said "wait and see." Perhaps Canseco is simply trying to drum up some publicity for his new book, but he certainly won't make any friends accusing A-Rod of juicing. Unlike some of the other players Canseco has implicated, he and A-Rod were never teammates, so if he intends to accuse A-Rod of such, he better have some damn convincing evidence.

Barry Bonds finished the Giants homestand Sunday without another home run, meaning he'll enter a 6 game road trip still one shy of tying Hank Aaron. We'll see how much he plays on the road trip. The Giants need him to play, but the fan response he'll get on the road won't be good for Bonds, the Giants, or baseball. Selig was not in attendance Sunday, as he was in Cooperstown for the Ripken and Gwynn induction ceremonies.

Potential Kevin Garnett to the Celtics trade talks going on. Should make Bill Simmons happy, but since he's too busy writing another book to write any articles, we don't know.
