Also on the front of Sports in today's Merc. "Landon Donovan's World Cup Performance" is one of the options. (Not that I'd necessarily rank it #1 over some of the other options, but it's still really cool to see him get this kind of recognition.) http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/4748836.htm Of course, the idiots who conceived this poll didn't realize until too late that they couldn't easily do a poll like this online. Should've just had everyone vote for their TOP story.
1 Soccer: Landon Donovan's World Cup performance 2 Hockey: Sharks win their first Pacific-Division title. 3 Baseball: Giants' Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent scuffle in dugout. 4 Baseball: Giants make it to the World Series. 5 Football: Jon Gruden leaves Raiders for job with Bucs. I emailed them the above list.
1. Giants go to Series. 2. Tuck rule at Raiders/pats game 3. Kent/Bonds fight 4. Bay Area loses 2012 Olympics bid. 5. Donovan in Korea - 6. Sutter fired The Sabercats won the Arena Bowl? (I'm serious. I had no clue.)
