I heard this song on the radio this morning. Great tune. At the time I thought it was Nick Cave. Jack Jack 4.3 And I think I heard that the band Ween are now pushing up daisies (the band's called it quits). Bit of a bummer, but I guess they have been going around for 20 odd years. Jack Jack 4.4

I came across an interesting today, a leaked UCI list of riders suspected of doping from the 2010 tour. Would've preferred to see him ranked at 0. Tour de France live stream on sbs.com.au from 7.30 pm

Yep, the Mavs have done well so far, and I don't think they're finished. Brooklyn has re-signed Humphries to a 2 year $24 million contract. They must be over the luxury tax threshold already? This season they've got Williams (about $18 mill) Johnson (about $20 mill) Wallace (about $10 mill) Humphries (about $12 mill) and Lopez (about $14 mill) as their starters. Then they recruited CJ Watson, Teletovic, Reggie Evans plus whoever was already under contract (Marshon Brooks). They'll be in the top 5 for payroll in the first season at Brooklyn. They'd want to do well. Knicks have already lost Landry Fields to the Raptors (I think it was around $20 million over 3 years), and now possible Linsanity to Houston. He was offered $25 million over 3 years, $5 million per year over the first 2 years and then the poison pill $15 million third year. Pretty good coin for someone who's only started around 20-25 games. Knicks have got another day (?) to decide whether they are going to match the offer and retain Lin.

Pretty sad really. Frank's brother Andy has only recently been awarded the 2010 win after Contador's ban. Puts a question mark over that now.

LA fans are excited to have Nash on board. They've given him a warm welcome (or at least a warm beer anyway!).
-
Wow, first tacks were thrown over the road, then last night there was oil thrown over the road. What next?
-
An unlucky stage for Cadel last night, copped 3 punctures from tacks being thrown on the road. Good sportsmanship shown with the peloton slowing down to wait for him.

Nice work on the stage updates Macca.
-
Pantaloons would be beside himself if that happened. Between Kobe, Dwight & Gasol they'd be right up to the limit for the luxury tax, but if you've got an owner willing to spend I guess it's no obstacle. Interesting article on Linsanity, Knicks and the same problem, luxury tax. Lin's Future Cloudy

We can't trade him this year anyway. It's a moot point. I'm pretty sure after the whole Lloyd/ Heffernan drama years ago they put a stop to trading recently recontracted players (something like that).
-
Not looking good for the Aussies. Cadel still miles behind Wiggins (and Froome & Nibali) and last night Sagan extended his lead over Goss in the green jersey. Do we have anyone left in contention? I think all we can hope for now is a stage win by Goss and Green Edge.

I like it. Nice one I'd never heard of Nu-Jazz until you mentioned it. Another good one. How many other Jazz styles are there? Some more Nu-Jazz from Quantic. Jack Jack's (Nu) Jazz 2.8 -
Patty Mills has re-signed with the Spurs. Good news, well done Patty.
-
He was hit with a sprint infringement going for 6th against Sagan. They deemed that he deviated from his line and was hit with a 30 point penalty (Last night they said he'd be sent to the back). High drama as Matt Goss's green jersey dreams shattered after 12th stage Wiggins was hit with a flare with 25 k's to go. I don't remember seeing that but maybe my voodoo doll worked (a little bit anyway, needs more pins).
-
Great stuff Macca. I'm a big White Stripes fan, was a bit disappointed that they called it quits. I should post some of their songs. For now some more Aussie music, Josh Pyke. Jack Jack 4.2

it's a bit disappointing that Matt Goss got relegated to the back of the field. It's cost him a huge margin in the green jersey competition. The commentators seemed a bit surprised by the decision. Can he appeal? Has he?
-
Yeah is certainly makes sense for Houston to clear their books. They need a marquee player. But they'd be taking a huge risk trading for Howard as there'd be no guarantee he'd sign an extension. The Dwightmare continues. The Mavericks claim Elton Brand off amnesty waivers. Traded in Darren Collison from Indiana and may make a play for Scola off amnesty waivers. I think they're doing pretty well after moving on from missing out on Deron Williams. I think I read somewhere that the Timberwolves had amnestied Darko Milicic. Still a lot happening.
-
There's a live stream on the sbs website.
-
And another few amnesties to add to the list. Luis Scola from the Rockets and Elton Brand from Philly.
-
Thanks guys. I don't think Cadel has had a great season so far. Maybe he's just out of form? Should we harness the power of Friday the 13th?
-
-
Pretty disappointing. I fell asleep on the second climb and woke up during the finish with the commentators saying Cadel had lost another minute. Was it a good thing that I missed the action?
-
And it looks like the Mavs will amnesty Brendan Haywood. I doubt he'll clear waivers (any team under the luxury tax threshold gets to bid on him) and will be picked up somewhere, otherwise there's talk of him going to Miami, as if they need the help. Miami have picked up Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis. Brandan Roy is back in the league, signing with the Timberwovles. Nice to see.

It looks as though the Nets have given up on a Howard trade (at least for the time being). They've agreed to a max 4 or 5 year deal with Brook Lopez. Once he signs he can't be dealt until December. Still it's a pretty decent team they've assembled so far for their Brooklyn debut. Not quite a big 3, more like a big 2.5 in Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace. Brook Lopez knows how to score, if he can improve his defensive skills it would help the team out no end. And retaining Kris Humphries will certainly help the defensive side of things too. Signing power forward Teletovic from Europe adds another scorer to the team, not sure on his defensive skills, but he looks good. And is it possible to not like Steve Nash. He's a Star Wars fan, can it get any better? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo9rm3QmqRU And on top of it all Big Baby is doing what he loves most of all, eating (actually I don't know if that's true, I'm just guessing by his physique). Only this time he's doing it on TV as a guest judge on Master Chef US. Not only did he get to showcase his refined palate but he got wow everyone with his fashion skillz (Yellow shirt for the win!).
