Sports Today Weekend Edition 6/9/07

Don't Forget to Vote for which story I made up!
Purify Suspended After Arrest
Nebraska receiver, Maurice Purify, was suspended indefinitely after being arrested on suspicion of DUI. Purify, who was speeding, was pulled over at 12:25 a.m. Friday. This comes just five weeks after being charged with assult. His future with the team is unknown.

Barry Bonds Cat Gets into Medicine Chest
San Francisco Giants player Barry Bonds' cat was found eariler this week in Bonds' bathroom closet, where Bonds keeps his "medication". I don't want to say Bonds does steroids but not sure what in his closet could cause the cat to quadruple in size.









Newman Takes Pole
Ryan Newman takes his third straight pole this week at Pocono Raceway on Friday. This is Newman's fourth pole this year but has yet to win a race. Look for this week to be a great week for him. He came in second in last weeks race.









Kurt Busch is an Idiot
Kurt Busch was fined $100,000 and docked 100 driver points after nearly hitting Tony Stewarts jackman in Mondays race. Busch, who was frustrated after making contact with Tony Stewart, made jackman, Jason Lee (not the My Name is Earl guy) jump onto Stewarts hood to avoid injury. Busch has been suspended for the rest of the season. I hope Busch gets the message because this is just a stupid move on his part.







Locals to Play in Eight-Man All-star Game
There are a few local kids playing in the June 16th Sertoma Nebraska Eight-Man all-star game in Hastings. The locals playing for the west are Tyler Hamel, Arapahoe; Joel Hodgson and Andy McCarter, Overton; Jared Knoble, Axtell; Cory Morton and Lance Thorell, Loomis. The west will be coached by Glen Snodgrass, Overton; Craig Schnitzler, Kenesaw adn Troy Kleffner, Spalding.




Wie Needs to Take Some Me Time
Michelle Wie, who is currently in last at this weeks LPGA event, needs to take a break from golf. She has played terrible the last month. She shot an 11 over, 83 at Bulle Rock and is uncertain if she will finish tomorrow. She has complained of a wrist injury and if that is true, she needs to rest it. My question is, is she really hurt? or is she just the golfing worlds Anna Korvikova?

My guess is the one that is made up is the one about Barry Bonds and his cat. I think he has a dog.

I don't know why this incident would surprise you. Kurt Busch has always been an idiot and jackass. Also, you said he was suspended, I think he was just put on probation.
