Rangers produced a terrific, disciplined performance to earn a valuable Champions League point against a wasteful Barcelona at Ibrox. Listening to the game was not a good idea, too many near misses from both sides raised my heart rate to dangerous levels. Still, 7 points from 3 games, and it’s been a surreal 3 months for Scottish football, long may it continue… And hope we don’t get the smack laid down on us at the Nou Camp in a few weeks time

Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen won his first Formula One drivers’ championship as Lewis Hamilton’s bid came to a dramatic end in the Brazilian Grand Prix. It’s a shame as Lewis has been hyped as the best thing since sliced bread, it’s also funny as everyone was talking about Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, but Kimi snuck in the backdoor to top both of them

Stephen Colbert has announced his candidacy for president. “I shall seek the office of the president of the United States,” Colbert said on his Comedy Central show “The Colbert Report.” Colbert said he planned to run in South Carolina, “and South Carolina alone.” The state, one of the key early primaries, is also Colbert’s native state.

Injured Buffalo Bills player Kevin Everett has been able to walk to some extent as part of his rehabilitation after suffering a severe spinal cord injury during the team’s season opener. Doctors in Houston are optimistic that once Everett completes his rehab he will regain his ability to walk independently. Everett was injured making a tackle at home against Denver on September 9th and Doctors initially said there was little chance Everett would walk again, but that prognosis was revised after he showed quick progress in the days after the injury.

The top 10 rap songs white people love. Sure, it’s mostly late 80’s/early 90’s stuff, but you’ll be nodding your head in no time at all…

Ann Coulter dreams of the day women will not be allowed to vote, amongst other things. “If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president.” Oh snap! Of course, then people like her wouldn’t be able to vote either…

Rangers made it two wins from two Champions League outings with an amazing victory in Lyon. Top of the supposed “group of death,” bring on Barcelona in 3 weeks time. They’ve beaten the French and German champions, the 2nd best team in Spain should be easy… Famous last words…

Radiohead fans will be able to choose how much to pay for the band’s next album, In Rainbows, which is available for download on 10 October. Instead of listing a price for the music, the group’s website simply states “it’s up to you” and then adds: “No really, it’s up to you.”

Cavemen had to undergo a pre-debut evolution with a new setting – San Diego instead of Atlanta. Apparently producers found it difficult to fake Atlanta in a production based in Los Angeles. Didn’t stop them doing Vanished last year in a fake Atlanta though… Oh well, my one reason to watch it has now gone, good thing I didn’t set up that season pass just yet.

The price of existing homes in the 10 largest US cities fell by 0.6% in July – the steepest drop in 16 years – a survey has found. The cities where prices are still rising are Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Portland and Seattle. However, these have reported that growth is slowing, the index compilers said, with Atlanta and Dallas moving closer to negative territory. We can already say from experience that Atlanta has went to shit…

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has sensationally left Stamford Bridge, the news comes just 24 hours after the disappointing Champions League draw against Rosenborg. A bit of stunning news, especially since Chelsea are only 2 points behind Arsenal in the Premier League and they travel to Old Trafford on Sunday to play Manchester United…

Portland Trail Blazers rookie center Greg Oden, the No. 1 pick in this years NBA draft, will miss the entire 2007-08 season after undergoing knee surgery Thursday. Shame, everyone was looking forward to Oden and Kevin Durrant bursting onto the scene this year, and it all but wraps up the Rookie of the Year award…

McLaren have been stripped of their points in the 2007 Formula One constructors’ championship after the outcome of the ‘spygate’ row. The team was also hit with a record $100m (£49.2m) fine but drivers Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso will be allowed to keep their points. The team must also prove there is no Ferrari ‘intellectual property’ in its cars next year before they can race.
