Sports Thread For 2/27/10: The Full Runthrough (Updated)
The sports thread:
You would think for an Arsenal fan that a Manchester City 4-2 defeat of Chelsea coupled with winning 3-1 one at arduous Stoke City would be the perfect day. But telling them that another one of their players was destined to endure a horrific injury from a dangerous challenge would have dampen the celebration.
Those results turned out to be the case, as Ramsey seems to have suffered a broken leg eerily similar to the one Eduardo had two years ago at Birmingham City. The man playing the role of Martin Taylor here was Ryan Shawcross, and it was just as egregious to watch.
Thoughts are certainly with the talented Wales teenager, who was getting better and better as the season progressed.
To Shawcross' credit, he was showing tears as he was sent off the field unsurprisingly. The emotions of the moment will certainly weigh on his head for a long while I think.
Arsenal showed tremendous character to win the match, as they are without a question firmly in the title race in the BPL.
In other sports news, Jason Kidd had a blast for the past moment last night. And thensome:
After giving Kansas its first lost of the season, Tennessee has given Kentucky its second loss of the season, as the Vols beat the Wildcats 72-65.
It was another case of Kentucky's main achilles heel, their outside shooting, costing them like it did against South Carolina, as John Calipari's side went a dreadful 2 for 22 from the 3 point line this afternoon.
Behind a career game from J.P Prince, the Bruce Pearl led team showed once again how Thompson-Boiling Arena is one of the most difficult places to play in all of college basketball.
And Bodie Miller's wonderful Olympic revival is over, as he did not medal in his final event today.
Your updated sports thread folks.
Updated: And after Kentucky lost earlier in the day on CBS, down goes Kansas at the hands of Oklahoma State.
