Tuesday's Page 2 tipsheet

Since Connecticut defeated the Lynx on June 9, pushing the Sun to 7-1 and dropping Minnesota to 3-6, the Lynx have won seven in a row while Connecticut has lost six of its past eight.

If the afternoon match of Tuesday's final day of World Cup round of 16 play is as good as Belgium's thrilling 3-2 win over Japan was on Monday, you'll want to tune in for sure for England vs. Colombia. 1 p.m., Ch. 9.

"Considering limitation on the Wild salary cap space they are not bad moves. But I don't see anything that will allow us to make it to the cup. Ek and Greenway would need absolutely stellar seasons to get there."

"As someone on the site pointed out:

7 / 2010: LeBron leaves Cleveland, Tolliver signs w/Wolves.

Time is a flat circle."
