Happy Tuesday!
This week on 15 Minutes of Fame we’re looking at the ups and downs of the first week or so of the Olympics in London, how the Edmonton Eskimos are sitting after five weeks of CFL action and the latest on Shane Doan and the Phoenix Coyotes.
In the GABBYs: Rosannagh MacLennan, Derek Dye, Shannon Eastin, Felipe Kitadai, Rio Ferdinand & London police. The Punchline this week is NBC’s Olympic coverage!

The International Association of Athletics Federations World Championships in Athletics kicked off this weekend in Daegu, South Korea.
The biggest headline wasn’t who won, but who didn’t.
In an interesting surprise, Usain Bolt, the defending Olympic and World Champion from Jamaica, was disqualified with a false start. Under the new IAAF rules, one false start and you’re out. The rule change puts significant added pressure on each sprinter who competes.
The winner turned out to be Yohan Blake of Jamaica with a time of 9.92. American Walter Dix was second with a time of 10.08 followed by Kim Collins of Saint Kitts and Nevis, with a time of 10.09.
