As many of my readers can attest to, I'm a huge sports fan. And as a Seattle resident, I'm sure you can guess what my favorite professional teams are -- the Seahawks and the Mariners. But my interest is not limited to baseball and football as I actually play tennis and participate in triathalons. And of course, with both my kids participating in school-sponsored athletics, I can be found cheering on the sidelines at volleyball matches and baseball games.

So, whenever there's a sport snagging a lot of headlines, you can bet that it caught my eye, too. Recently, there's been a lot of discussion on betting scandals in the athletic arena. One blog that I read on a regular basis -- The Numbers Guy -- had a good entry on the suspicious betting surrounding tennis star Nikolay Davydenko. Check it out here.
