So a little something new here at Roman is Burning, every Tuesday we are going to run down the week that was in sports. Now you are probably asking yourself, don’t you usually do weekly recaps at the end of the week? Well yes but this is Roman is Burning and in true Roman fashion we do things when we want them and how we want them.
USA Soccer Team falls to the Italians
Continuing their preparation for the 2010 World Cup Team USA took on team Italy and were quickly dropped by a finally tally of 1-3. I mean did we learn nothing from Kicking and Screaming? Everybody knows you have to get the ball to the Italians.
The LA Lakers take the NBA title
Congrats to the Lake-Show on this one, they were clearly 
the best team in the league and after the Cavs choke job they were pretty much guaranteed the title. Now that they are officially Champs all this ‘Kobe is on par with Jordan’ talk will being (as if hasn’t already). Let’s get something straight; Kobe is still not as good as Jordan, and unless he manages to win at least four more titles (which isn’t totally out of the realm of possibility) we cannot begin to talk about Kobe being as good as Jordan.
Pittsburgh wins the Stanley Cup
As long as Detroit didn’t win that is all that matters right here. Congrats to Sidney Crosby, the non-hand shaker, and the Pens. They played their butts off in this series and went into Detroit and took it to the Wings. On a funny note, Marian Hossa turned down Pittsburgh’s contract offer at the end of last season to sign with the Wings because he wanted to win a Cup. How is that for irony, but more on Hossa tomorrow.
Skateboarding News
Yea see you didn’t think we’d tackle Extreme Sports here on Burning did you? Well we do, and as a part of our Skateboarding news comes these pictures of Rob Dyrdek (of Rob and Big and Fantasy Factory fame) being carried out of a night club. Now listen we’ve all been here, drunk out of our minds and in zero control of ourselves, but my main problem with these photos is WHY IS ROB DYRDEK HANGING OUT WITH JOHN MAYER?
and how the heck is john mayer the one sober enough to carry him?!
