A lot of really odd stuff has gone down this year, don't you think? Off the top of my head you have...

-The 11 hour marathon Match and Wimbledon. And a lot of top seeds getting upset or near upset.
-The blown call that cost the Tigers a no hitter.
-Bad calling in general for the World Cup.
-Fedor tapped, losing for the first time in 10 years.

2 perfect games in baseball (plus one more that should've been perfect game) and two more no-hitters!

I blame the 'Aints for starting it all in the first month of the year. It set the bar.

I thought this was about the increasing use of technology in sports...

That is so messed up. I hope he's okay.
