This is breaking news on Tim Tebow injury. Gators quarter back and possibly the best one in college today injured himself when deciding what to do with the ball. Tebow literally got slammed by the Kentucky defense and took a hard blow on his head.

One could make out shocked faces among the legions of Gator fans. The Florida number one team were out of state, and in Kentucky grounds when Tim Tebow took a big slam dunk from Kentucky defensive player Taylor Wyndham.

Tim Tebow’s head bumped against the shin of Florida right tackle Marcus Gilbert as Tebow hit the ground. The slam was so bad that Tebow lay motionless for a few minutes before he sat up on the ground. Subsequently after that Tebow was assisted off the field to the bench. Here Tebow was joined by his parents who were concerned about his safety.

While on the benches, Tebow was seen vomiting and throwing up. There were also reports that he was taken by the ambulance to the hospital for check up.

Tim Tebow’s quarter back position was filled in by second starter John Brantley.

If you are a Gators fan, and you have any other info regarding this incident, please post it below. Convey your best wishes to Tim Tebow for speedy recovery as well.

Here is the you tube video on the accident

Michelle wie’s blog is now available in net

Michelle’s blog is pretty new, just started this month and has only 10 entries so far, but it’s one of those blogs which would be interesting even if it were not being written by a famous golfer like Michelle Wie.

OK, let’s be honest, it isn’t about to dethrone the Instapundit, it’s not going to get her a well paid job at the Washington Post like Ezra Klein managed, but it is indeed interesting.

Michelle Wie’s blog is called “Black Flamingo” and can be found here. There’s a nice corny joke right here.

For those who get a little pitter patter in the heart or perhaps lower down when considering the young Ms. Wie she takes us through the making and modelling of a sking tight leatherette dress right here. (I guess there must be large amounts of time to spare on the golfing circuit).

Michelle Wie also shows a certain talent for calligraphy and the classical forms of Asian art here.

All in all it’s an impressive span of interests for someone who you would think has been doing nothing but play golf since the age she could hold a club. Michelle Wie’s blog, definitely worth a look.

Oh Boy, Serena williams is back again in Breaking news but for wrong reasons.  Serena Williams has lost all her temper in the latest Semi Final match of the US open.

The incident occured during her Semi-Final match with Kim Clijsters, with Serena being called for a foot fault during her second serve. She then approached the line judge with a barrage of abuse, which led to a code violation against her, causing her to lose the point and match to Clijsters.

As you can see in the video, Serena certainly doesn’t hold back in her choice of words, although they have been censored by the TV broadcasters.

I have added the video below, have a look at it

John Albert Kramer, the wimbledon star and the united states single champion, also a Well known Legend of the Tennis world has died.

The report of his death was announced  by ESPN’s Cliff Drysdale in the on going semi final match between Rafael Nadal  and Juan Martin Del Potro.

John Kramer is a powerful promoter of Tennis of his days and is regarded as the most influential personality of the tennis history.

John Albert Kramer was born in Las Vegas on Aug. 1, 1921, the son of a brakeman for the Union Pacific Railroad. He learned to play tennis in the Los Angeles area as a teenager when his family moved there. His idol was Ellsworth Vines, the former United States Nationals and Wimbledon champion, whom he played against in workouts.

Kramer won the united states singles championship at 1946 and he consecutively retained the title at 1947. He won his first ever wimbledon title at  1947.

Kramer also  took over as promoter of the pro tour in 1952 and expanded it into an international operation, the players transporting a portable court in a host of one-night stands. In a 12-day period in 1957, Kramer’s entourage made 11 appearances in 8 cities, from South Africa to the Philippines.

Wilson Sporting Goods sold millions of Jack Kramer-autographed wooden racquets, Kramer receiving a percentage of the sales revenue. He was a longtime commentator for American network broadcasts and for the BBC at Grand Slam events.

The dead of Kramer is a huge loss for the game of tennis. His talent was well spoken by his way of handling tactics for the tennis game. His loss can never be fulfilled by any other person.

Richard Seymour

Looks like its official now that the Patriots have traded Richard Seymour to Raiders. Well, atleast they have been confirmed by Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe and Adam Schefter of  ESPN have tweeted about it in Twitter.com.

Later The Patriots themselves have confirmed the news again via Twitter. Looks like Twitter is becoming the official platform to pass the news to the masses.

Richard Seymour was drafted by the Patriots in the first round (sixth overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft out of Georgia and has been a part of three Super Bowl Teams. He was named to the Pro Bowl five times in his career (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006).

In 101 career games with the Pats, Seymour had 357 tackles, 39 sacks and two interceptions.

The 2009 US Open Tennis tournament began yesterday, and some good games have already been played. Britain’s Andy Murray play Latvian Ernests Gulbis in the first round of the US Open.

Murray Uses Patient Game to Beat Big-hitting Gulbis. Andy Murray played a patient, steady game to defeat big-hitting Ernests Gulbis of Latvia 7-5 6-3 7-5.

In the first set, Murray traded baseline blows with 95th-ranked Gulbis and the Latvian responded with wild misses and blistering winners and pushed the Scotsman to five set points before finally succumbing to a service break in the 12th game.

Andi Murray, runner-up last year (the champ was Roger Federer) in his first grand slam final, then varied his attack by mixing in forays to the net and took advantage of mounting mistakes from Gulbis, who had 51 unforced errors, 30 more than Murray.

Murray advanced to a second-round match against 87th-ranked Paul Capdeville of Chile.

The only two male tennis players who are believed to travel regularly on private jets are Roger Federer, the world No 1, the US Open champion for the past five seasons and the greatest racket-swinger of all time, and Ernests Gulbis, the world No 95 from Latvia.
