News Items

This article about the LPGA caught my attention. Basically, it says that all players on the tour have to be able to speak English starting next year. Not a lot of time for those that do not speak English. Bob Harig on ESPN.com has a good opinion piece on this topic.

Baseball will start using instant replays on some plays starting Thursday. To recap, the plan went from testing it a little in Fall ball, and in Arizona during Spring Training to being implemented before September. I like it, but if only Major League Baseball moved this fast on all issues.

The college football season starts this week. I would do a preview, but that requires effort. Also, I generally do not like preseason previews or predictions. I believe they fall into the the "useless things in sports" category.
