U.S. Open Draw Televised Live on ESPNEWS

Trying to capitalize on the popularity of televising such events as The NCAA Basketball Tournaments, The NFL Draft, and World Cup Soccer Draws, ESPNEWS will provide live coverage at 12 noon est of the U.S. Open Men's and Women's draws.

If you have never seen a draw made live before it can be interesting to see how the seeds are placed and how random the draw-making procedure is.  Listen for your favorite players name to be called, see where the qualifiers and wildcards end up, and see if Federer and Nadal or the Williams' Sisters are on the same side of the draw.

Wikipedia to Test Editing Procedures

Wikipedia has announced that they will test editing procedures on articles of living people, and although anyone can still edit entries, they will first have to be approved by an experienced Wikipedia editor before they appear to the general public.

This comes on the wake of embarrasing entries made that prematurely announced the deaths of Senators Robert Byrd, and Edward Kennedy.

Wikipedia has come under attack for a while for being too loose with their editing policies.  In the past, one could become an "Experienced Editor" after only a few days of use.

Viking's Locker Room Already Divided Over Favre

Looks like things are getting a little tense in the Viking's locker room, and what a surprise, it has to do with Brett Favre.

Players feel too much attention has been focused on Favre.  When Favre apparently retired for the third or fourth time over the Summer, some players felt a wave of relief.  Now they have to answer questions every day about a quarterback they hardly know, and many of these current Vikings were in the corner of Tavaris Jackson and his pursuit to be the Viking's QB.

Favre is scheduled to play the entire first half of this week's preseason game.

Jerry Jones and His Scoreboard

While giving a tour of his new stadium in Arlinton, Jerry Jones could not have been prouder of his new $40 million scoreboard.  That was until a Tennessee reserve punter named A.J. Trapasso hit it in a 30-10 preseason loss to Dallas.

Now Cowboy's owner Jerry Jones is wiping he egg off his face, and providing damage control while deciding what to do about his low hanging scoreboard.  The NFL may end up telling him what to do.  There will be an emergency meeting of the NFL Competition Committee soon to talk about the problem, and how it might be fixed.
