U.S. District Judge Leonard Stark probably won't be invited to U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross' house anytime soon. Judge Stark issued a 33-page ruling explaining why he feels Judge Gross erred in allowing the Los Angeles Dodgers to get out of a media rights deal with Fox Sports. Stark has stepped in to stop the Dodgers from selling their media rights while the team still has a contract in place with Fox.
Soccer corruption
World Cup television rights for Trinidad and Tobago were sold for $1. in 1998 in exchange for helping Sepp Blatter gain the presidency of soccer's governing body. Jack Warner, a former FIFA vice-president said he was awarded the television rights in the years 1998, 2002 and 2006 for helping Blatter get elected and re-elected. By the way, Warner resigned from FIFA in June because of charges that he accepted bribes.

Touring pro asked to repay USTA its their help
A professional tennis player who was born in Russia, then moved to the Unites States with his father to train, has made the Unites States Tennis Association unhappy. The reason for the USTA's displeasure is that Alex Bogomolov, Jr. has decided to play Davis Cup tennis for his native Russia, despite the fact that the USTA provided financial and coaching help to Bogomolov. The USTA will likely look for Bogomolov to repay the organization for its help.
