...Manchester City was bought by an Abu Dhabi holding company, which pumped so much cash into the franchise that City was able to make an audacious last-minute bid for Berbatov - and then topped that by spending a British record of $59 million to sign Brazilian striker Robinho, from Spain's Real Madrid. Snatching Robinho from under the nose of Chelsea confirmed City's sudden arrival as a major player in the high-stakes transfer market of European soccer...
Sure, most of these wines were overly simple, and I could get a much better bottle for the money from Spain or Portugal, but I got to try several grapes I'd never heard of.

"Yeah," he said. "A lot of people doubted me, thought I was wrong for predicting it. I guess I can read into the future now." Here's an easy one, LeBron. With the way the Redeem Team performed in Beijing, the world will respect the America's game once again...
