Despite being the No.1 overall seed in the NBA, the Chicago Bulls struggled against the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the playoffs…that is until Derrick Rose scored 39 points to help the Bulls come from behind and win, 104-99. After the game, Pacers guard Danny Granger described Rose’s persistence like a “crazy stalker ex-girlfriend. Every time you tell her you don’t want to talk to her, she’ll show up at your door again.”
David Beckham is being called out by critics who say a new video of him shooting three soccer balls into a trash can more than 100-yards away is fake! The viral video campaign is sponsored by Pepsi causing many to speculate its authenticity.

In a post match victory interview, UFC Jacob Volkmann said he wants his next opponent to be President Obama (3:00 mark in the video). Volkmann explained he is struggling to open up his own chiropractor practice, and he does not agree with the Health Care Bill and wanted to knock some sense into the President.
MMA Fighting reporter Ariel Helwani joked with Volkmann about his comment, but it was no laughing matter when Secret Service agents showed up at the Minnesota high school Volkmann coaches wrestling at to investigate the threat.
Volkmann told the Pioneer Press, the Secret Service showed up with his picture and a transcript of the UFC interview. Agents wanted to know if Volkmann planned to go to Washington DC to hurt the President, but Volkmann told them, “No, I can’t even afford the plane ticket.”
The encounter lasted around three minutes. Lucky for Volkmann, he did not have to go through the full body scan.
In a marathon in Japan with only 200 meters left, Kokushikan University runner Natsuki Terada took a wrong turn allowing the runners behind him to take the lead and win the race.

But if you’re not first you’re last! … I wonder if he took a wrong or wong turn?
