"One Chelsea insider claimed Drogba visits the club shop up to 10 times a week and on one occasion walked out of the store with 40 shirts priced at approximately £45 each, setting him back £1,800."

For some reason I don't even care that Pay-Rod is back with the Yankees. And I don't even care that Barry Bonds was indicted. Yawn. So what? Somebody wake me up when they take him to jail.

With the revelation that Roger Clemens has been implicated in the Mitchell Report, his Hall of Fame legacy is pretty much shot down the tubes.
