KACSPORTS YOUTUBE VIDEO HAS ARRIVED!!! Did you miss any of the big sports moments this weekend??? Well check out my new Youtube page including Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s big win at Michigan International speedway. Also included is a report on Tim Donaghy's claim that previous NBA playoff series have been fixed (3,800 hits) as well as Tiger Woods memorable back nine during the third round of the U.S. Open (3,100 in 19 hours). You don't know what you may see next, CHECK IT OUT!!!


PK STORY - FAVRE COULD UN-RETIRE IN TEN DAYS: Peter King story says Favre definitely wants to play again, and the Packers desperately want #4 to stay retired. King believes the Favre camp will send a letter to the Packers in the next ten days asking that Favre be taken off the retired list. At that point the Packers have the choice of either accepting Favre back (say good-bye to Aaron Rodgers if they do that), releasing him (and risk him winding up with a NFC rival), or trading him - talk about a no-win situation.


REPORT - SABATHIA TO MILWAUKEE: According to published reports, the deal is done, pending the necessary paperwork and physicals get done - CCS could make his Milwaukee debut as soon as Tuesday.


HITLESS IN SEATTLE - BTS STREAK ENDS AT 48: For those not familiar, the MLB site has been running a free contest for eight years where participants simply pick one player to get at least one hit each day, offering a $100,000 prize for any contestant whose players get hits for 57 consecutive days. When no one won through the 2007 season, MLB upped the X-prize for this season to $1 million ($50K X 20 years). The latest streak saw an anonymous contestant (it says MLB hasn't been able to get any personal info on the player) get up to 48 games, just one off the record for the history of the contest. The streak went by the boards Friday night when the contestant picked Ichiro Suzuki, who went 0-3 off Detroit's Kenny Rogers. That has to hurt, a 18-17 game going on at Coors Field (the humidor has obviously been OOC there) and he takes Ichiro - he will be rethinking that for a while. Who did I pick anyways??? Oh that's right, Ichiro, never mind. The fact that no one has claimed the top prize for 7 1/2 years cherry-picking the best matchups one more time illustrates just how remarkable Joe DiMaggio's real-life streak was.


CRASH CLAIMS EX-CHARGER TERRENCE KIEL: Ex-Chargers safety dead at age 27 after crashing his Chevy Sedan through a brick wall in an up-scale San Diego-area neighborhood (SCENE PHOTOS). Witnesses say Kiel was on the wrong side of the road before losing control of his vehicle, in which he was thrown from. It was said that Kiel was at a party earlier in the evening, and that friends tried to keep him from getting behind the wheel. A second-round pick in 2003, Kiel started as a rookie, but was released from the team after the 2006 season, during that year, Kiel was arrested on the practice field after DEA agents intercepted two shipments of cough syrup, Kiel eventually pleaded guilty to felony and misdemeanor charges of attempting to ship the substance.


STEVE FOLEY SETTLES WITH POLICE OFFICER: Former NFL linebacker settles lawsuit against the off-duty police officer who followed him 15 miles in plains clothes before shooting him three times and ending his football career. Then rookie Coronado officer Aaron Mansker spotted Foley driving erratic in downtown San Diego, then pursued him all the way in his personal vehicle to Foley's cul-de-sac in suburban Poway. Foley eventually pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drunken driving while Mansker was recently honored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving for making 57 arrests in 2007.


RANDY MOSS BUYS 50 PERCENT OF TRUCK TEAM: Decides to buy into an existing NASCAR team rather than attempt to build one from the ground up, Moss hopes that the operation will someday enter the Cup Series level. The Truck will makes it's debut with Randy's #81 on the side in two weeks.


NHRA TO SHORTEN DRAGRACES: While still investigating what went horribly wrong with Scott Kalitta's doomed run a few weeks back, the NHRA has decided to temporarily shorten it's races from the traditional quarter-mile to 1,000 feet. In a preliminary report, the NHRA said it would look at the shutdown areas to help slow a runaway vehicle and at whether the cars should be slowed overall. The NHRA ordered weight to be added to it's vehicles before the current season in an effort to slow the speeds which were exceeding 330 MPH.


WASTING NO TIME - NBA TOP PICK DOES 105: Welcome to the big leagues kid - recent #1 overall pick Derrick Rose was clocked at a cool 105 in Kane County a couple months ago. A contrite Rose admits he made 'a big mistake'.


NOT OK FOR SEATTLE - SONICS MOVE DONE DEAL: The now former Seattle franchise makes $45 million deal with city of Seattle - and will leave the team name, colors, and previous history behind. Seattle has no guarantee of getting a future franchise, the best guess is that they will need to at least have plans for a new arena before they can woo another existing team. No word as of yet on what the team's new moniker in Oklahoma City will be.


BRAND NEW WAVE OF BRETT FAVRE NEWS!!! What a surprise - rumors on Favre un-retiring, followed by the more shocking news of Favre taking about five minutes to shoot down the reports. In any event, no fewer than five posts on Favre appeared on Rotoworld in the space of five hours. First SI.com writer Mike Lombardi, then ESPN's Chris Mortensen, reported that Favre has told the Packers that he is interested in returning. The Lombardi report added that Favre would also be interested in playing for another team if the Packers would not take him back. Then the NFL Network reported that the Chiefs, Ravens, and Jets would be among the teams interested in Trading for Favre. Finally, #4 sends a text message to his hometwon Biloxi paper saying that all the reports is all scuttlebutt.

A-RODG CREATES FIRESTORM: In yet ANOTHER SI story, Aaron Rodgers is quoted as saying in regards to needing to 'connect' with Packer fans 'I don’t feel I need to sell myself to the fans. They need to get on board now or keep their mouths shut.' Philip Rivers might even be impressed with that kind of confidence.


TODAY'S LOOK-A-LIKE - PRESIDENT GARV: It was ofen said during his playing days that Steve Garvey could have a future in politics once he retired - then one of his ex's spilled the beans and that was that - in recent years Garvey has kept a low profile living in Utah while getting that President Ron look down - maybe McCain can tap him as a running mate...


HEIGHTENED SECURITY FOR RED SOX: As team heads down to Tampa for what is sure to be a contentious series with the Devil Rays (am I supposed to call them something else?? Make me), MLB has dispatched extra security after threats against players were snail-mailed last week. The postmark is said to be from Memphis but the man lives in Baltimore. The threats targeted two specific players of black/Latino origin, those players have been made aware of the threats. I guess that narrows the list down - everyone's first guess would be the #3 and #4 hitters, but Papi's on the DL. These stories I imagine occur far more often than what becomes public.


WE HARDLY KNEW YI: Report has Jianlian being shipped in a package deal to New Jersey before tonights NBA Draft. The Nets would unload Richard Jefferson in the deal, giving them some cap space for when LeBron James becomes a free agent in two years.


MAPLE BAT SHATTERS ON HEAD OF MLB UMPIRE: You now hear the cries from every announcer when a bat breaks now, and it happens on average 2-3 times per game. And looking at this picture, it's not hard to imagine what one of these things has the potential to do to a player or spectator not wearing the protection of an MLB umpire. Home plate umpire Brian O'Nora was hit with the sharded end of Miguel Olivo's bat during a game in Kansas City last night. Olivo wound up making a trip to the hospital while Olivo switched to an ash bat for the rest of the game. This incident occurs just as MLB's safety committee starts to look into the alarming trend of maple bats shattering - the calls for outlawing the material began earlier this year when a Pittsburgh Pirates coach sitting in the dugout and a fan sitting in the box seats sustained injuries from maple bats breaking. The maple models instantly became popular with MLB batters following Barry Bonds' 73 HR season back in 2001 - the banishment of the maple models would essentially put the Canadian man who designs the bats out of business and would put the old Louisville Slugger Company back in control.


MAD-CITY THE NEW POKER CAPITAL??? Stop me if you've heard this before - a Madison, WI native named Phil won a WSOP event last week. No, not that guy - this was a 23-year old 'cash game specialist' who won $817,000 in a $5,000-rebuy Omaha event. In another event Madison-area products finished second, eighth, and tenth IN THE SAME EVENT. The format for the $10,000 main event has been changed - the field will be widdled down to nine by July 15th - but the final table will not be played until November, this to help promote the players in the finals, and also to allow ESPN to provide same-day coverage for the first time.


PERSON POSING AS JUSTIN LEONARD CAUGHT: A 30-year old Texas man has been caught allegedly attempting to open credit cards and a cell phone account in the name of PGA Tour veteran Justin Leonard. The man was busted red-handed after trying to collect Leonard's mail at the post office, and the woman on the other side of the counter happened to know the Leonard family. Or you could had just asked the man to demonstrate his golf swing. Forget the National ID card, just identify everyone by golf swings.


FUNNY CAR DRIVER DEAD AFTER HORRIFIC CRASH: Machine of veteran racer Scott Kalitta explodes into flames at 300 MPH before crashing into a barrier at the end of the drag strip - the parachute appeared to be burnt as well and did not deploy fully - you can see the home video of the incident here (discretion advised). The 46-year old Kalitta was the 1994 and 1995 season champion in Top Fuel and had 18 career victories to his credit. Partly out of respect for Kalitta, NASCAR driver Carl Edwards broke tradition and did not due his customary back-flip after winning a Nationwide Series event Saturday night, choosing to do a backwards victory lap instead - the crowd booed but he made the right call.

TRACK SAFETY CITED: Lots of discussion today on internet postings about the wall Kalitta slammed into at the end, and whether there should had been a long sander trap along with netting. Looking at the satellite map, the logistical problem is that there is a public road at the end of the facility. But looking at the images of the cockpit being engulfed in flames before even hitting the wall, and all a endless sand trap may had done was induce an endless roll-over. Still there will be debate whether the accident should result in the Englishtown track being contracted from the schedule


JOHNNY MILLER MAKES APOLOGY: Lost in the euphoria of last weeks dramatic U.S. Open were a couple of blasts made by NBC commentator Johnny Miller, who suggested that anyone named Rocco may have more business cleaning a swimming pool than contending for golf's National Championship. Come to think of it no one named Rocco even deserves consideration for a cameo on the Sopranos. Have commentators say something silly each week and the PGA Tour may actually survive the next seven months without Tiger.


WILL THE UMPIRE STRIKE BACK??? The leader in the clubhouse for biggest cheapshot in the history of amateur baseball still has to be the Wichita State pitcher a few years back who made a 45 degree turn during warm-up tosses and dotted the on-deck hitter (fracturing his eye socket) because he has supposedly under orders by his coach to not let him 'time his delivery'. This one goes on the leaderboard however. In a Georgia championship high school baseball game, Stephens County High School was getting routed in a game that would be called after four innings 13-1. During the game, Stephens County batters would strike out nine consecutive times, the last victim being the team's star, Ethan Martin, who since became a first-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Martin's younger brother was the pitcher getting shelled in this game, in the next half-inning, the catcher acted like the ball was going to go into the dirt while the high fastball ended up dotting the umpire in the mask. The players story was that they got their signs mixed up, but no one is buying it - with one writer calling the incident 'as accidental as 9/11'. The ramifications since have been enormous, the school has been fined $1,000 and placed on probation, the umpire is considering legal counsel, and a college has pulled back it's scholarship offer to the catcher involved in the play. You can check the video here.


ANOTHER MANAGER BITES THE DUST: I guess it's not a good idea to get swept by the Brewers - John Gibbons gets his pink slip from the Blue Jays and bring Cito Gaston out of mothballs, he becomes the third manager to get whacked in the last four days - as Willie Randolph and John McLaren were both FINALLY let out of their misery earlier this week, how long were they twisting in the wind???

ADAM DUNN DOSEN'T LIKE CANADA??? In a case of 'reverse tampering', Blue Jays GM gets on the radio and says in no uncertain terms that he's not interested in trading for a player whose strikeout season totals approach his weight despite his considerable power. Dunn responds that he never heard of the GM and wasn't ready to exchange his currency to 'loonies and toonies' anyways. Hasn't Dunn noticed the tumbling of the U.S. dollar lately, I'm surprised there isn't a line of players demanding trades to Toronto - get in on the exchange rate before the Amero is introduced...


WOMAN FROM PACMAN VEGAS CASE FOUND DEAD: The woman involved in the infamous Vegas brawl involving Pacman Jones is dead - Sadia Morrison was found outside a Bronx apartment building w/injuries consistent with a fall. And there is more Pacman news, his Tennessee home has been put up for foreclosure and will be sold at a courthouse next week. It's said Pacman purchased the 30-acre home for $1.5 million just two years ago. Not like he really needs a house, he spends most of his time at the scrip club anyways - Tank Williams, Pacman, ME-O, to be a roach on the wall in the Cowboys locker room this year...
