The judge presiding over the Roger Clemens fiasco declared a mistrial, saying that a "first-year law student" would have known not to make the mistakes prosecutors made. The blunder has been called the most shocking error in modern baseball history. Fans are left wondering if closure will ever be brought to the steroids era.
2. Kentucky SpeedwayAn estimated 20,000 fans were denied entry to last weekend's inaugural Sprint Cup race at the track because the facility ran out of parking. Fans were forced to sit in paralyzing traffic jams for hours, and many never made it to their seats. On top of all that, track officials blamed the local interstate for the problems.
3. All-Star gameIt gets worse every year. But this was the worst yet. Derek Jeter declined to play because of "exhaustion," and TV ratings hit an all-time low. ESPN's Jim Caple hit it right on the nose when he said "The All-Star Game has become the Pro Bowl."
4. NBAThe NBA laid off 114 people this week, approximately 11 percent of the workforce. A league spokesman said the move was "not a direct result of the lockout." The NBA has consolidated offices, closed others and shut down the studio in Secaucus, N.J., that hosts the annual draft lottery.
