Catching up on this week's sports news

This was quite the week in the sports world:

Rick Pitino's sex scandal and extortion claim introducing another chapter with Pitino's admission of his affair with the woman that wanted to extort millions from Pitino.

Baseball's pennant race heating up as the New York Yankees pull away from the rest of the league with the best record in baseball. The Boston Red Sox slipping down the standings with their debacle of games during their road trip.

The NFL began their season with the induction of six new inductees: Bob Hayes, Randall McDaniel, Bruce Smith, Derrick Thomas, Ralph Wilson and Rod Woodson. NFL preseason also began as teams across the league find out which players will help their team get to the promise land in Miami in February 2010.

Possibly the biggest sports news to date: Michael Vick signing a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. Eagles owner Jeffery Lurie stated during the press conference that if Vick doesn't make a positive impact within the Philadelphia community, he will not be a part of the eagles organization.

All these stories making headlines has me thinking one thing: This might be the most interesting year in sports since 1998.

As current Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens once said, "Getcha popcorn ready."
