CYCLING Armstrong's former team dissolving at season's end
PARIS — Lance Armstrong's former team is disbanding.
Discovery Channel said Friday it will cease operations at the end of this season because it has been unable to find a new sponsor. Doping scandals have left cycling reeling and made sponsors jittery.
"I do not think you have seen the last of this organization in the sport," Armstrong, the seven-time Tour de France champion and co-owner of the team, said in a statement. "But clearly things need to improve on many levels, with a more unified front, before you would see us venture back into cycling."
Discovery Channel featured the winner (Alberto Contador of Spain) and third-place finisher (Levi Leipheimer of the U.S.) at last month's Tour de France.

You may also be wondering how you're going to manage putting together a solid fantasy football team this year so you can shut up that noxious friend who won last year in spite of picking Sebastian Janikowski in the second round.

Julian Wright did slide in the draft — but only a little bit. The New Orleans Hornets selected Wright, who was originally projected in the top seven, 14th in June's NBA Draft. In Summer League games, Wright played just like he did at Kansas. He showed flashes of excellence but couldn't develop consistency.
