KURT BUSCH WINS AT SONOMA, CWS FINALS START TONIGHT

Kurt Busch won yesterdays Nascar Sprint Cup race in Sonoma, California holding off Jeff Gordon for the win.  There were allot of drivers with some very short tempers towards the end of yesterdays race, it looked they had a bit of road rage.  Next weeks race is at Daytona on Saturday night.  The College Baseball World Series Finals start tonight with game 1 of the best of three series with Florida vs South Carolina, the Gamecocks will be looking to repeat as champs.  We got a pretty good rain shower during the night and it is quite a bit more humid this morning than it was the last two mornings, we can use all the rain we can get right now.  Well I am off to work, MICKEY

Watch More Sports (Really!)
Here’s the one you’ve been waiting for: A University of Chicago study shows that not only can playing a sport improve your learning and comprehension, but simply watching sports can do the same. "Your brain appears to treat any engagement with sports—either as a player or spectator—as somewhat similar activities," says researcher Sian Beilock, Ph.D. Dedicated players or fans score the most brain-boosting points—catching a game every few weeks won't cut it. It’s perfect excuse for telling your wife or girlfriend that you must spend a few hours a week watching sports.
