Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer 6-7 (0), 7-6 (5), 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (5) Sunday to defend his Rome Masters title and tie Guillermo Vilas’ record 53-match winning streak on clay in the Open era.

The second-ranked Spaniard saved two match points at 5-6 in the fifth set when Federer missed two forehands, then closed out the win on his first match point in the tiebreaker when the top-ranked Swiss player hit another forehand long.

The Knicks were Larry Brown’s dream job, but quickly turned into a nightmare. And according to one report, it’s one that may be about to end.

According to a report in the New York Daily News, Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan is considering buying out the final four years of Brown’s contract, worth at least $40 million.

A month ago, the New York Daily News reported that a majority of the Knicks players blamed Brown for the team’s disappointing season during their exit interviews with Thomas.

The Knicks declined to comment and would neither confirm nor deny a report that Knicks president Isiah Thomas would be named as Brown’s successor. - FOX Sports

What is James Dolan doing? Doesn’t he know Isiah Thomas is the bad seed. Knicks are so pathetic its sad!

MI:3 was good! J.J. Abrahms, who is responsible for ‘Alias’ directed MI:3. You can see a similar style and even similar characters. A lot of action in this movie! Kanye West has a single called ‘Impossible’ for the movie.

Seacrest seductively approached the Stanley Cup, briefly pretended to be interested in what it had to say, and finding that his interest was returned by the starstruck trophy, gently rested his chin on its quivering lip while thrusting himself deep inside its silvery recesses.

For a guy who’s never considered himself a home-run hitter, Albert Pujols is setting a blistering pace.

Pujols became the fastest player in major league history to reach 19 home runs, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 9-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night.

“I’m not a home run hitter,” Pujols said. “McGwire’s a home run hitter, Bonds is a home run hitter.- MSNBC

I think he means, He doesn’t take steroids like McGwire or Bonds. I hope he breaks the single season HR record.
