If anyone needs us over the next three days we’ll be pretending we’re in Xuhui, Shanghai, China for the Nike Festival of Sports. “Considered to be the most comprehensive sporting event in China since the 2008 Summer Olympic in Beijing, the Nike Festival of Sports is the embodiment of tenet set by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, “If you have a body, you are an athlete”. In this celebration of athletes and athleticism across the board, spectators are asked to participate in a number of venues, each sponsored by divisions like Nike Soccer, Nike Running, Nike Women, Nike Tennis, and even Nike Mixed Martial Arts. And for those not wanting to break a sweat, they can become audience members to see star athletes like LeBron James, Amare Stoudemire, Kyrie Irving, along with players from both Duke and Georgetown Universities, and local U19, U22, U25 basketball teams in action…” If anyone needs us over the next three days we’ll be pretending we’re in Xuhui, Shanghai, China for the Nike Festival of Sports. “Considered to be the most comprehensive sporting event in China since the 2008 Summer Olympic in Beijing, the Nike Festival of Sports is the embodiment of tenet set by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, “If you have a body, you are an athlete”.

C’mon let’s face it, win or lose Hope Solo was going to be the cover of this weeks SI. Even in a loss it’s a win, win! Am I right? Anyway, Time Inc. Sports Group editor Terry McDonell explains the cover of this weeks Sports Illustrated featuring Hope Solo.“The U.S. had just lost one of the greatest games ever played, and the emotions of that are complicated. And it’s reflected in the cover shot of Hope Solo, a nuanced mix of sadness and courage. She is looking back, thinking what might have been, but she is also looking to the future.”

Nobody hypes epic sporting events better than the folks at Nike, and nothing could be more epic than the champions of England meeting their Spanish cohorts at Wembley in one of the most highly anticipated Champions League final match-ups. The Nike vid features stars from both teams quickly stating what it will take to be crowned as Champions.

Manchester United—Barcelona. Who will be left standing?

Off to the Royal Wedding. Toodles. “I’ll go to the wedding on Friday and then I’ll fly out of London straight to Dallas on Saturday morning. I’ll arrive before the [Galaxy] team. I’m used to the travel. I’ll speak to the manager. It’ll be down to the manager to see how I feel on the day of the game and I’ll do everything right and do everything that is best for the team….” — David Beckham comments on his Royal Wedding itinerary

David Beckham explains the reasoning behind his new Jesus tattoo.“Obviously, the cherubs are boys, so my thought of it is, you know, at some point, my boys are going to need to look after me, and that’s what they’re doing in the picture. Everything has a meaning that I’ve got on me.” — David Beckham Makes sense.
