(For the football and college basketball offseason, that is.)

How can you top this:

1. Michael Vick is indicted by the feds for dogfighting.

2. The FBI reveals that a veteran NBA referee with a gambling problem has been under the thumb of the mob.

3. The Yankees show some frigging signs of life.

4. Sergio Garcia pulls a Norman Mickelson at the Open Championship, and an IRISHMAN wins it in a playoff!

And on top of all that, this may have been the weekend we locked up Stevie Filer. The only negative is that any hope I had that Barry Bonds might not break the record is dashed unless he's hit by a bus or something ... well, we can always hope that the momentum keeps up!

I don't really understand this post. Most of the above things you said are terrible. Unless you are using some sort of sarcasm that isn't hitting home I don't understand how a star qb fighting dogs and a whole sport possibly being compromised help add up to the greatest sports weekend ever?

I think he just means the big stories came about in one off-football weekend. It would be a big sports-news related weekend.

Greatest sports weekend is when our Irish win!

I guess you're not as cynical as I am. I think Michael Vick is a punk and he got what was coming to him, and the NBA has become a joke and they similarly deserve the consequences of this.

Yeah. I just thought this was the 'worst' sports week ever because on SportsCenter every day they would have:

1 segment on Beckham/Posh Spice
1 segment on Vick
1 segment on Bonds
1 segments on 'Who's Now'

All 4 stories I either don't care about, seriously dislike the person involved, or think is just really stupid. After they discussed those 4 topics, there was about 15 minutes left of actual show. So, Ive been mad all week because sports TV has been simply awful
