If you’re injured it doesn’t mean you can forget about making a statement — that’s what the modern tennis players are telling us. You need to use bright colors, strange or even symbolic taping.

Wayne, our Southern correspondant, asked me a fairly simply question:
Granted it’s early in the season, but the NHL All-Star Game is getting no buzz nationally (par for the course, I guess). Do you think the format should be changed from East vs. West (or Patrick vs. Campbell for oldtimers) to North Americans vs. Europeans?
We all know that the All-Star Game hasn’t mattered in many years, and is basically one big corporate schmoozefest for Bettman and the big companies he is trying to court.

Cristiano Ronaldo
After a pair of stellar performances Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo earns TSN.ca/Soccer player of the week honours.
Love him or hate him, you cannot deny that the Portuguese International is one of the top talents in football. Those talents were on display this week in both Europe and domestically as Man U flexed their footballing muscles.

One falls, and everyone takes a step up.
From LSU down to West Virginia, the teams ranked second through sixth last week all moved up one spot with Ohio State freefalling from the unquestioned number one to an also-ran seventh. Not only did the Buckeyes topple, but they fell so far that any dream of being in the discussion along with the other one-loss teams for a spot in the BCS championship game is now gone.
Things will get more and more interesting over the next few weeks, with the Big 12 playing a bigger role in the debate. LSU isn’t just number one, it’s number one with a 25-mile wide gap before getting to Oregon. The Ducks are on a relative island, a solid 0.0289 ahead of Kansas, but if the Jayhawks win out that’ll mean they’ll have beaten No. 5 Missouri to get to No. 4 Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship to go 13-0. As the lone unbeaten among the BCS conferences, the pollsters would all but assure Mark Mangino’s club of a spot in the title game, meaning Oregon will be out in the cold.

WILLIE Mason wants his future decided by the end of the week after beginning his own pre-season training with a solo run at Centennial Park on Monday.
The disgruntled Bulldogs forward held a promising meeting with Sharks coach Ricky Stuart , while Sydney Roosters chief executive Brian Canavan visited NRL headquarters to discuss salary cap issues which could thwart their bid for Mason.
St George-Illawarra confirmed it has one or two positions vacant on its 2008 roster, plus the likely inclusion of suspended Wallabies winger Wendell Sailor, while English giants Wigan are Mason’s only overseas option and the most lucrative.
