How about that hilarious commercial for the "Dr. Phil" special on CBS? You know the one, where Phil tells some Mom that her son exhibits 9 of the 14 traits serial killers are known to possess. How can you not watch that show? I bet the kid's teachers are thrilled.

Doping in sports continues. I am actually surprised at the latest culprit, Tyler Hamilton. He was Lance's caddy for many years on US Postal and has had some fairly good results, including the latest Olympic gold medal, while dealing with many injuries.

The tests are getting more sophisticated and this was a newer test that actually tested for blood transfusions.
