   Not that many have an interest in this, what with the performance enhancers domination in the sport, but American Tejay Van Garderen is in third place after 5 days, just 25 seconds in back of the leader.

   American Pharoah wins first horse racing triple crown since 1978. Serena Williams is just the U.S. Open away from a same year women's tennis Grand Slam. Jordan Spieth is halfway to a same year men's golf Grand Slam, and no Danny Noonan at the British Open to compete against.

   According to sources and court documents obtained by ESPN's Outside the Lines, Phil Mickelson was involved in the transfer of nearly $3 million as part of “an illegal gambling operation which accepted and placed bets on sporting events.� Per this report, Mickelson has not been charged with a crime, and he is not under investigation, but $2.75 million of Mickelson’s money had been laundered by Gregory Silveira, a 56-year-old former sports gambling hadicapper, acting as a conduit for an offshore gambling operation. http://www.forbes.com/sites/baileybrautigan/2015/06/29/report-phil-mickelson-involved-in-money-laundering-gambling-operation/

   We are all familiar with the various Rock songs that have been associated with Sports over the years, from We Are The Champions by Queen to Gary Glitter's Rock n Roll Part 2. Late last night I was watching the intro to the Rugby match between Queensland and New South Wales and this little ditty came on. This is destined to be a classic song for sporting matches in the U.S. if given a chance. Check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7kxscF1Bp0

   Dude needs to get his shit straight.

UFC is in a tough place too. How will they discipline their super star? And yes, Brandon... blah blah blah media, blah blah blah twitter, blah blah blah TMZ.

    Chris Borland Retires

    http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/12496480/san-francisco-49ers-linebacker-chris-borland-retires-head-injury-concerns Don't know this guy from Jo Schmo on the street. But apparently he was one of the top rookie linebackers in the NFL last year? Retiring because of concerns about head injuries and his long term health. In my view the NFL has been pretty lucky regarding the concussion issue so far, they are lucky the football union is toothless...one major lawsuit that goes against the NCAA or a high school and that would be pretty alarming for football.
