Welcome to the Daily Newsroom for this Tuesday, June 28th, 2011.
Below are the top stories in FCSL:
1.) Mexico overcame a 2-0 deficit against the Americans to win the gold cup final 4-2 Saturday evening in Pasadena, California. Man of the Match Giovanni Dos Santos gave a lot of credit to the CONCACAF governing body for scheduling the game in a dense Mexican metropolitan center. "I give a lot of credit to the United State's wavering stance on illegal immigration. I used to have to buy tickets for all my friends, but now, not only can they buy their own tickets, but also supply the whole team with narcotics." Perhaps trying to thwart the spread of capitalism and democracy, CONCACAF scheduled the United States to play Canada in Detroit, Panama in Tampa Bay, and Mexico in Pasadena. When asked about this seemingly unfair set of circumstances for the United States, United States' captain Carlos Bocanegra blushed and admitted, "my parents are Mexican." Ole!
-In related news, Bob Bradley was busted for narcotics after he was seen inserting United States defenseman Jonathan Bornstein into the match against Mexico.
2.) On Monday afternoon, Philadelphia Phillies' shortstop Jimmy Rollins attempted to set a Guinness World Record by hitting a ball farther than anyone in history at the Red Bull challenge (honor is officially given to Babe Ruth at 575 feet based on unofficial estimates). Using a scientifically altered bat and ball, claimed to have the power to add the most distance to a hit, Rollins attempted to hit the ball down Ben Franklin Parkway towards the famed Art Museum. Unfortunately, Rollins was only able to hit the ball a mere 463 feet, disappointing the many fans who showed up to watch. In the future Red Bull plans to acquire an actual hitter to attempt the challenge. Plans are already underway to create a replica Jimmy Rollins, which is expected to be completed in time for the challenge next summer. -Philadelphia Inquirer
3.) Orlando Magic Guard Gilbert Arenas recently uploaded pictures of himself "planking" at practice and in the weight room. This is welcome news for Magic fans as no guns were seen in the pictures. -Javaris Crittenton.
4.) In preparation for the NBA, Jimmer Fredette admitted to dropping 40 points at a local jail. The NBA was unable to announce his next opponent. Schedules will be released in July -NBA Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver
5.) The Washington Officials Association and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association are being sued by a group of Washington state referees over the use of pink whistles during a charity campaign. Suspended from playoff games, the referees claimed that the bylaws were put in place after the referees first used the whistles. The issue will be brought to court late next week and the prosecution seeks to force the referees to use blue whistles instead. -Seattle Intelligencer
-In related news, Washington was 0-12 and Washington state was 1-11 in 2009. Whistles? Really?
6.) Reaffirming their importance in England, Prince William and his newly wedded Wife Kate Middleton were seen at Wimbledon watching tennis... all day. -Lifetime Special
7.) With only 8 scholarship players for the 2011-12 basketball season, Georgia Tech will be awful. -Anonymous.
8.) Aiming to provide the best role model for the NFL rookie symposium, the NFL has tabbed wide reciever Plaxico Burress, rumored to discuss proper gun placement and jean looseness.
-In a related story, the rookies plan to go on strike next week to counteract the NFL's proposed rookie wage scale. Rookie Player's Association President Cameron Newton could not be reached for comment, but sources say his parents were still: "do[ing] a lot of things behind the scenes that go unnoticed." -@ochocinco.
9.) Struggling with intense mediocrity in their pitching staff, the Kansas City Royals have decided to go with a 6 man pitching rotation rather than sending rookie Danny Duff down to the minors, with Kyle Davies returning from injury. There really isn't a story here, but the Royals have paid FCSL to be included in a relevant sports article. -FCSL exclusive report.
10.) Google is undergoing talks with the new PAC-12 to sponsor a new television deal that would allow google to watch you watching the PAC-12. -Apple, the other possible sponsor.
