Put Bryce Harper in the Home Run Derby at the All Star Game.

Apparently MLB is having a difficult time finding guys from the AL to be in the All Star Home Run Derby at Busch Stadium. I suggest they ask high school phenom Bryce Harper. It would probably be the highest rated show in ESPN history if they did.

Think about the buzz it would generate. It would be a great showcase for baseball. I'm not sure the pros would like it, but if they're afriad of a high school kid, well that's their problem. Actally just the rumor might make the AL fill their slots.

Williams and Federer win Wimbledon.

It will probably go down as the sporting event of the year. Roger Federer defeated American Andy Roddrick in an epic five set Wimbledon Final.

The final fifth set was decided by a score of 16-14, and it alone took over an hour an a half. The win gave Federer a 15th major title, one more than Pete Sampras. Sampras said that Federer went from a legend to an icon with the win. It’s now hard to argue that he’s not the best ever.

This completed a great weekend of tennis as Serena Williams won her 11th major title on Saturday.

US Men's National Team seek Title Win against Brazil.

The US Men’s National Soccer Team is in Saturday’s Confederations Cup Final against Brazil. While most people view the Confederations Cup as nothing more than an eight team exhibition tournament, a win would be the most marketable achievement in history of Men’s National Team. Win or lose against Brazil, the team will obviously be better prepared for next summer’s World Cup Finals. However success this summer doesn’t mean the US will be a contender next year. If the US does qualify for the World Cup Finals, they’ll be up against 32 teams not eight. While the US has finally developed a team capable of knocking off a top side, they have yet to prove they can do it consistently.

Victoria Azarenka: UK FHM Wimbledon Stir.

Victoria Azarenka figures she'll cause quite a stir when the British FHM hits during Wimbledon. She actually did photos in the French FHM for Roland Garros, so who know what is planing for the US Open.



She even gave some good advice for the guys, in my recent interview with her.

Harper Leaves School for MLB

Bryce Harper from Las Vegas is leaving high school after completing his sophomore year. He will get his GED and enroll in a junior college. Therefore he should be eligible for next year’s MLB draft. A lot of people are upset with him and his family. I have to ask why? If he wants to quit high school to play professional baseball, go ahead. The same with those silly NBA and NFL rules that you have to be so many years removed from high school to be in the league. Now I think the money being paid to professional athletes is beyond ridiculous, but I don’t fault the players. Bryce Harper is going to receive over $20 million from Washington next summer, and if they want to pay him, he should not be held back.

Top Potential Pro Sports Transfers

With Ricky Kaka’s 65 million euro transfer from AC Milan to Real Madrid, we’re taking a look what could be paid for our brightest sports stars.

To get you up to speed, in the soccer world, they really don’t have free agency or trades; instead they pay huge sums of money for the rights to sign a player. We don’t know the logistics, and if there are any that block this for being common place in North America’s pro sports leagues, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it starts happening soon.

Here’s the top 8 largest potential transfers.


8. $80m Evan Longoria – to Boston. The Red Sox need a future third baseman, and at 24 Longoria would own the city for years to come.

7. $85m – Carmelo Anthony - To Philly. NBA players dominate the list, because one guy is capable of having such a major impact. Philly would love to shell out the cash to bring Carmelo back to the east coast.

6. $90m – David Price – to New York. The Yankees have lacked one thing in recent years, pitching and though they thought about Linecum, Tampa Bay could use the cash, and the Yankees have no problem shelling out the bucks for this young phenom.


5. $100m – Adrian Peterson – to Dallas. The best young player in the NFL at 24, Jerry Jones can’t resist building a team around Peterson. Transfer are difficult with the NFL's Salary Cap, and large rosters, but he could be the biggest impact player in football. With a huge new stadium, the Cowboys will need a player to bring back the glamour.

4. $102m - Chris Paul – to LA. Think about this, the Lakers will try to keep the glory days going, and they’ll use their extra playoff revenue to help finance a move for the best young point guard in the NBA.


3. $108.7m Sidney Crosby - to Montreal. Pittsburgh isn’t going to like this but, of all these possible transfers, this one is most likely. First off, hockey has so many players coming in from foreign leagues, transfer fee start to make sense. Secondly the Canadians are Sidney boyhood favorites, and after accomplishing all that he has in Pittsburgh the opportunity to join Montreal would be too good to pass up.

2. $150m Dwight Howard – to Chicago. Howard’s value skyrocketed this post-season, and the Bulls look to return to the glory days with a capture of this 23 year old superman.

1. $200m Lebron James – to New York. In a move that is destine to happen, the Knicks set a world record to bring King James to the Big Apple. New York then signs him to a $300 million contract, essentially paying a half of billion for the NBA's biggest star.

Bryce Harper - Baseball Prodigy

High School Sophomore Bryce Harper was recently on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and has the sports' world buzzing.

Here is Deadspins' story on the 570 foot home run he hit when he was 15.



Time will tell, if he lives up to the phenom status.
