While the Rangers drop below .500 and into oblivion, one has to wonder why Tom Hicks is willing to dip into his pockets to put the best team he can get on the ice, but not on the diamond. The Rangers have now lost 7 straight after a 4 game sweep of the weak pitching spankies.

The 'Boys dropped their first preseason game in Arizona. The loss isn't really a concern, how it happened is. Drew Bledsoe was unimpressive and was greatly out-played by Kurt Warner. The running game was almost non-existent in the first half. And the Cowboy's had more penalties than a typical Raiders team.

The PGA Championship was suspended for only the 3rd time in it's history after tournament officials chose not to move up tee times, deciding TV coverage was more important than actually completing the tournament for the paying fans even though inclement weather was forecasted.

The Sporting News has the Texas A&M Aggies ranked 14th in the nation, their highest pre-season ranking in over 5 years. We'll get a good look at the highly touted Aggies when they open in Death Valley on ESPN.
