The Dark Knight Teaser Trailer. As with all these trailers, this looks excellent. I have high hopes after the sublime Batman Begins a few years ago…

A Turkish lawyer is taking legal action against Inter Milan for wearing a strip with “Crusader-style” red crosses that he alleges is ”offensive to Muslim sensibilities”. Never mind that the Turkish kit has the star and crescent moon on the badge. I don’t find many people taking offense to that…

Rangers crashed out of the Champions League and into the UEFA Cup with a disappointing home defeat to Lyon. An almost typical European collapse from Rangers, just like in 2000. I feel dumb for downing the kool-aid after that first Barcelona game, things were going just a little too good.

Michael Vick gets 23-month sentence on dogfighting charges. The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback could have been sentenced up to five years.

Georgia has shown it deserves a title shot. If, like me, you were watching Missouri and West Virginia choke on Saturday night with realistic dreams of New Orleans (not the Sugar Bowl version), you were left wondering how did the Dawgs get the shaft?

A man claiming to have a bomb has taken two people hostage at a Hillary Clinton campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire. Mrs Clinton is at a Democratic party event in Virginia and is not involved in the siege. Unconfirmed reports later said all the hostages had been freed.

Virgin America Safety Video. If only more airlines had this kind of pre-flight “entertainment.”

Alex McLeish has resigned as Scotland manager and it looks like he will take over as Birmingham City boss. A week and a half removed from that Italy game and now we’re looking for a new manager… Great.

Tom Glavine returns to the Atlanta Braves on a one year contract. $8million after he turned down $13M from the Mets, not too bad, gives the Braves a nice rotation of John Smoltz, Tim Hudson, Glavine and maybe Chuck James and the long forgotten Mike Hampton? Could be an interesting year at Turner Field if everything goes to plan.

Gibson unveil a self tuning guitar. Yep, a robotic self tuning guitar, how awesome is that? See it in action.

Is Jay-Z signaling a recession? When you start seeing rap stars flashing Euros instead of Dollars, you know the economy is in trouble… [via]

Glasgow has been chosen to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games. There were celebrations in the Scottish city as the decision of the 71 voting nations was announced in Sri Lanka, with Glasgow winning by 47 votes to 24. The announcement was greeted with delight by hundreds of people who had gathered in Glasgow’s George Square to hear the result.

With no rain in sight, Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue is looking for a little spiritual help to get North Georgia out of its drought. No seriously, he’s wanting people to pray for rain…

The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! Saul Williams offers up his new album using the “Radiohead Business Scheme” but with a twist. If you can live with 192kbps MP3’s, you can download it for free. A great way to get the word out there…

Formula One superstar Lewis Hamilton is to move to Switzerland to escape the excessive public and media attention he has had in Britain over the last year. Nothing to do with the taxes in Switzerland, hmmm?
