You read it, the ‘’Cristiano Ronaldo Saga'’ continues.

While the brand new 2008-09 English Premier League season inches closer and closer each day, Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo remains to be the focus of the football world.

Why? Two reasons. One, there’s thing thing about Cristiano Ronaldo missing the first month of the coming English football season as he continues to recover from his severe ankle injury. Two, there’s also this thing about him moving from Old Trafford to join Real Madrid in the Spanish league.

Real Madrid is the defending Spanish champion and if they do manage to land the Portugese footballer for the coming 2008-09 Spanish Primera Liga, another title for the Spanish football giants is very VERY likely.

If Ronaldo leaves Old Trafford, it would be hard for the Manchester United Red Devils to continue the success they had on the pitch the last couple of years. And yeah, the entire world of English football will never be the same again.

For now, Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon says it’s up to Ronaldo if he wants to join their team or stay with Man-U. He also said that if Ronaldo wants to leave Old Trafford, it would be hard for…

Remember Barry Bonds? Yes, he’s last season’s home run king. And yep, he is also the guy who just loves them steroids.

We are at the halfway point of the 2008 MLB baseball season and we haven’t heard of any news whatsoever in regards to Barry Bonds other than his addiction to steroids.

Until now. Bonds’ agent, Jeff Borris said Barry Bonds won’t play in the MLB this season and has given up all hope of finding his client a job. He he… Borris said he is frustrated by baseball’s lack of interest in his client after the season Bonds just had the year before.

After the San Francisco Giants let Bonds go, the slugger instantly vanished from the league. Other than the media exposure Bonds got in regards to his steroids scandal, it seems Bonds and baseball have gone separate ways and his agent doesn’t like it one bit.

‘’I offered Barry at the minimum salary, and when I ran into a brick wall, that’s when I came to the conclusion that he will not be in a major league uniform in 2008,'’ Jeff Borris said.

‘’I'm not a negative person. I’m one of those ‘never say never’ guys. But it seems pretty clear to me that it’s just not happening. We could go up and down the rosters of every single team and I could show you an awful lot of spots where he ought to be plugged in right now, but it’s just not…'’

Why remember a guy who is already retired?

Well, aside from the fact that he may be bigger than Brett Favre in the racing world, Schumi is the last guy to ever win at Hockenheim, where the best drivers this 2008 F1 season will reconvene this Sunday for this year’s German Grand Prix.

Yes, Michael Schumacher is the last guy to win here at Hockenheim back in 2006. Last year’s race in Germany was held at the Nurburgring circuit where Fernando Alonso came out on top. Well, the guy’s with Renault now and is in no condition whatsoever to win ANYTHING. Unfortunately.

As far as Michael Schumacher is concerned, yes, the German was the last Hockenheim hero in Formula One and with the 2008 F1 season making a return to the very circuit Schumi made famous, it is only fitting that we remember the six-time F1 world champion.

So why did he retired in the first place?

It has been said that Schumi called it quits when he learned that Ferrari is bringing in Kimi Raikkonen to be his teammate. Rumors came out that Schumi was scared that he might not measure up to the fiery Finn.

When Schumi was asked why he called it quits. We learned that it wasn’t because of Kimi. It was because of Felipe Massa.

‘’I stopped because I didn’t want my friend Felipe Massa to be unemployed,'’ Michael Schumacher said. ‘’I would have had no problem going up against Kimi Raikkonen.'’

Apparently, Schumi wanted to save Massa’s career with Ferrari with his…

Of course, coming to a new team, you should have absolutely nothing but excitement for your new environment right?

And when you are one of the biggest transfers of the offseason, I don’t see why you should be any different. Ronaldinho is in the middle of what could be a series of HUGE transfers in international football this offseason and the former Barcelona star has nothing but praises for his new football club.

Ronaldinho is excited to play alongside another Brazilian, Kaka, trying to lead AC Milan atop the coming 2008-09 Italian Serie A season.

He was finally unveiled by AC Milan to its fans and Ronaldinho wasted no time in expressing how happy he was of having the opportunity to have a fresh start with the Italian football giants.

‘’This is a special emotion for me, a unique moment in my career,'’ Ronaldinho said. ‘’Every player would like to play with Milan.'’

Hmm… ‘’Every player would like to play with Milan'’ huh? Didn’t he blurted out the same exact words when he was transferred to Barcelona a few years…

Can he do it?

After almost winning the world championship last year, Lewis Hamilton had somewhat of a slow start to the 2008 F1 season. After winning the first race of the season in Australia, it took him five races before getting his second win of the year, his first one in Monaco.

And now that Lewis Hamilton found himself in a three-way tie for the championship after winning his home grand prix in Britain a week ago, I guess you can now say that he’s back in the championship chase.

You can bet your ass Hamilton knows it too. The McLaren - Mercedes driver is now vowing to take the world title home to Germany in only his second year in Formula 1.

‘’I'm not going to build up your hopes but just to let you know that I’m working as hard as I can to bring the Championship home for all of us, keep your fingers crossed,'’ Hamilton said.

‘’I've been racing since I was eight years old and every Sunday before the race I always have the same nerves and I can never control it.'’

‘’I always try to come up with a formula or a way to deal with all the nerves and the race to make sure I win and it’s always…'’

For now, all I can remember of the guy is the year when he made 70 home runs.

Other than that, every single time somebody talks about the guy this 2008 MLB baseball season, his steroid problems seem to become the topic of discussion. Yep, just like Clemens, Canseco and the poster boy for steroids, Barry Bonds.

Now, it looks like Mark McGwire wants to give people something else to talk about every time his name is mentioned. Rumor has it that the former St. Louis Cardinals powerhouse wants to make a comeback. You read it, McGwire wants to have baseball in his life again.

Mark McGwire is considered as one of the most famous men in baseball history. However, he hasn’t made a public appearance at a major league ballpark in three years, has declined interview requests and passed on annual invitations to visit his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals, in spring training.

Mark McGwire, who made a record in Major League Baseball 10 years ago when he hit the single-season record of 70 home runs, had his last moment in the spotlight back in 2005 because of issues with regards to steroids use and other performance enhancing substance.

McGwire declined to admit that he is slowly returning to baseball. But…

Because quite frankly, you’ll never know who’ll win it even after the tournament is over.

It has been well documented that doping scandals have always plagued cycling’s premiere event. And these doping scandals can snatch the title away from whoever wins it, like last year when Michael Rasmussen should’ve been the winner but because of him getting his ass DOPED, the 2007 title was then literally handed over to Alberto Contador. Guess what, we already have THREE in the 2008 Tour de France.

Sad huh? The latest of which? Riccardo Ricco. The guy already won two stages of the Tour de France as people are probably starting to marvel his endurance in what is a very very grueling spot. When he was tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, it was all over.

The biggest question now is, who will will don the maillot jaune of best overall rider when the three-week race concludes in Paris? Who will be the next Lance Armstrong? Sure, whoever comes out the winner will probably be tested like crazy for dope anyway but hey, he’s a champion until proven DOPED eh?

The list of favorites boils down to just five men; Cadel Evans (Silence-Lotto), Damiano Cunego (Lampre), Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d’Epargne), Denis Menchov (Rabobank) and Carlos Sastre (CSC-Saxo).

But since Cadel Evans is the first guy we mentioned, let’s find out if this dude can…

You read it, and you’ll never guess who’s back on top.

After almost getting it done against Tiger Woods in the U.S. Open, many did not expect Rocco Mediate to have the strong start that he had in the 2008 British Open Championship and carry on with the momentum he had at Torrey Pines.

Lo and behold, Rocco Mediate shot a 1-under 69 to share the first round lead at The 137th Open Championship with Robert Allenby and Graeme McDowell. After having a taste of superstardom after earning a playoff match with Tiger at the U.S. Open, he’ll be having more than just a taste if Mediate keeps this up.

‘’It was just one of those rounds,'’ Rocco Mediate said. ‘’It was just up and down and up and down and a couple of birdies, and here we are. I would have been ecstatic with 73 or 74 today. I’m ecstatic with this one. This was a lot of fun.'’

Mediate was under the weather so to speak, coming to the latest tournament on the golf course. His bad back was well documented and putting that back on display against a temperature as low as the low 50s, not to mention the wind gusting up to 25 mph, nobody was…

The second half of the Formula One season officially starts in Germany.

You read it, it’s already the halfway point of the 2008 F1 season as the 10th leg of the 18-race year will be held at Hockenheim for the 2008 German Grand Prix. With nine races already over and only nine races more to go starting in Germany, drivers going for the title would love to finish at the podium once the German GP starts this Sunday.

The 2008 F1 German Grand Prix marks the 55th time F1 visited Germany as a part of an event for the F1 world championship. It also marks its return to the F1 calendar after a year of absence.

Why the absence? The Grand Prix in Germany alternates between Hockenheim and the Nurburgring, which started from 2007 to 2010. Officials of the AVD, the automobile club who organizes GP races at the Hockenheimring, own the rights for the name, ‘German Grand Prix’ thus forcing the 2007 Nurburgring race to be dubbed as the 2007 European Grand Prix.

McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton and the Ferrari pair of Kimi Raikkonen and…

We knew that one was coming, but we never saw this one.

Confused? You’re as confused as most of us coming to the brand new 2008-09 NFL football season. But don’t worry, as always, we’ll be breaking it down for you so you won’t have to shoot yourself in the head with a shotgun.

Just last March, Brett Favre announced that he’s retiring again. But after two straight seasons of doing just that, people were kind of skeptical about THIS retirement speech. Everybody knew the moment Favre said he’s retiring that him announcing that he’ll make yet another return to dance ‘’one more time'’ was only a matter of time.

Everybody saw it coming. I did. I hope you did as well. But unfortunately for the Green Bay Packers, they were not ready.

There are reports that claim the Packers have moved on, ready to finally send longtime project Aaron Rodgers to the frying pan. And when Favre said he wants to give it a shot AGAIN, the Packers were reluctant to give him his slot back.

Of course, Brett Favre was disappointed. He says he feels he’s no longer welcome in Green Bay. And while his fans in Wisconsin have been clamoring for him to play for his team, he’s ready to move on with a new…
