Agassi admits drug use - Andre Agassi's upcoming autobiography contains an admission that he used crystal meth in 1997 and lied to tennis authorities when he failed a drug test - a result that was thrown out after he said he "unwittingly" took the substance. Damn Ags. When did tennis get so hardcore?

H1N1 hits the NHL - The Colorado Avalanche confirm that backup goalie Peter Budaj has swine flu. The way professional athletes live their lives (always around each other, in dressing rooms, hotels, etc...) I can imagine everyone on the Avs is currently waiting in line for their shot.

The Raptors are International - An off-season overhaul added to the Toronto Raptors' international flavour, but the club was just keeping with a growing NBA trend. Does this mean we'll have to sit through 5 National Anthems before every game?

The big bats will come out to play - Rodriguez, Howard bring star power, big bats to Phillies-Yankees World Series. This World Series is going to be a slug-fest. A SLUG-FEST I TELL YA!

Price ok with back-up role... for now - Carey Price clearly doesn't enjoy watching games from the bench, but with his Montreal Canadiens riding a four-game winning streak he sees no reason for head coach Jacques Martin to call on his services just yet. The Habs are looking good thanks to their off-season shopping spree, now if only they could get consistent goal tending out of Price, they'd be looking much better.
