Sports universe collides with Miss Universe

It's tough to focus on the big game when the Miss Universe pageant is on.

Worse yet, how can we absorb Monday's sports headlines when the Web is plastered with stories (and even more photos) of Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza, the new Miss Universe?

Did you realize Tiger won the British Open again? Of course you didn't. Too busy downloading pics of Puerto Rico's latest celebrity beauty weren’t you?

Ricky Williams broke his arm too. I know—you missed it. Poor Ricky was quietly admitted to hospital while the world was more concerned about Mendoza's recovery after fainting.

The Tour de France finished as well. America's Floyd Landis took the honors, and became the eighth straight US winner. What's that? You didn't have time to scroll down to the sports links? Those photos can take a while to open. I understand.

Did you catch any stats at least?

You did?

Age 18...height 5'9...hair color brown...eye color brow...riiiiiiight.

No, no problem here. Good info—solid stats. Let's talk more tomorrow though...sports might be back on your mind by then.
