Tyson

Is anyone else sad to see Tyson reduced to such an irrelevant figure on the boxing scene? In cased you missed it, Iron Mike chose not to answer the bell for the seventh round over the weekend, losing to journeyman Irish fighter Kevin Mcbride.

In a more uplifting sports story from the weekend, Afleet Alex won the Belmont Stakes, giving him 2/3 of the triple crown - he won the Preakness but finished third in the Derby. Where does this put him on the list of all-time racehorses?

In Entertainment news, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, shot to the top of the weekend box office. Rumors abound.

And of course, terrorism reared its ugly head as a train bound to Moscow from Chechnya blew up, and seven bomb blasts rocked pre-election Iran.

Dick Cheney said that there is no plan to shut down Gitmo.

Other stuff in the news:

Jenson Button - Formula 1 driver

Annika Sorenstam - Dominating golfer

Detroit Pistons - on the ropes

San Antonio Spurs - too much Ginobili

Andy Roddick - Big serving tennis player

Tomas Scheckter - IRL driver
