Contributing Columnist Diogo Dutcher's Evening Balks

1.) The United States Men's National Team head coach Bob Bradley is working with lawyers to provide a
contract clause in case of resignation or termination from the soccer association.  James Hurst, J.D. from the law offices of Hurst & Thompson located in Bradenton, FL, the active lawyer in these
proceedings, released the following statement: "Mr. Bradley still wishes to be included on the parent email
list, enabling him to be a part of the committee providing halftime and post-game treats; such as Gatorade,
orange slices, fruit roll-ups, and goldfish; notwithstanding of his position with the team, as long as his son
Michael [Midfielder] remains on the team."  Sources say that the deal is contingent on the father-son combo
maintaining their baldness. -Sam's Army.


2.) Tiger woods took on his first sponsorship post Nike, a heat vapor rub called Vantelin Kowa first
produced by the Kowa Company Ltd. of Japan in February 2010. There has long been a FDA mandate against the use of these rubs in the United States. However, if used, infidelity was listed as the most common side effect. -US Federal Trade Commission.


3.) Roger Federer was undefeated when holding a 2 set lead in a Grand Slam until Wednesday afternoon,
falling to Frenchman Jo-Wi [FCSL exclusive naming rights] in 5 sets. Jo-Wi will now always be remembered
as "that one guy who broke Roger Federer's record of winning every match when holding a two set lead in a
Grand Slam," which means we will probably only see Jo-Wi's name again as the answer to a trivia question in between sets of the 2031 Wimbledon Tournament [why did we buy these naming rights?] -Berries and
Cream Dessert.




Walk-off Balk from contriubtor Scott Hakim:


-Kulsoom Abdullah, a Muslim Weightlifter from Atlanta, Georgia, has won the battle against the Malaysian
International Weightlifting Federation, successfully enabling her to observe female Muslim dress code while
competing. The Federeation is allowing all athletes to wear a "one piece full body tight fitted 'unitard' under
the compulsory weightlifting costume" that will still allow judges to see whether the knees and elbows are
locked for a successful lift. According to New York costume designer Fabio Toblini, early indications reveal
he satin-blue, jeweled chiffon collar to be the unitard of choice for most participants.
Update 9:30 P.M.: Toblini plans to reveal his vaunted "Halloween" collection in the fall.
