The world is busy this weekend, with kids getting ready to go to school, the track and field world championships going on in Moscow, soccer in England is back again with the opening-weekend of the Barclays Premier League.
People were starting to wonder if Usain Bolt was slowing down, but the “most naturally gifted athlete the world has ever seen” has proved otherwise, so far winning gold medals in both the 100m and 200m events.
Meanwhile basketball stars Paul Pierce, Kobe Bryant, and Dirk Nowitzski all relaxed, Paul at the pool, Kobe watching “He Got Game,” and Dirk watching football.
Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake’s “Suit and Tie” tour came to an end in Miami, and Kings of Leon are ready to rock out in Staffordshire.
