At an age when most of his contemporaries would be thinking about retirement, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is thinking about his next contract. At age 61, Wenger affirmed in an interview this past weekend that he has no desire to retire nor is he looking for a new challenge elsewhere. In fact, he’s anxious to extend his contract with the English Premier League team for at least another four seasons. Wenger has one year remaining on his current contract with Arsenal.

Following a dominant victory in the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth this past weekend every expectation was that he’d next run at the Travers Stakes in late August. Although trainer Bob Baffert at the time said that hadn’t been decided, the August 28 race at Saratoga was the obvious choice. Early this week, however, Lookin At Lucky’s team received some bad news—he’d come down with a minor illness and wouldn’t be able to recover in time for the late August date.

The Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks have shaken up their goaltending ranks, cutting ties with last year’s starter Antti Neimi and signing free agent Marty Turco. The moves come after an arbitrator made a $2.75 million judgment in Neimi’s favor on Saturday. The Blackhawks had 48 hours to accept the judgment, trade him or let him become an unrestricted free agent and chose to the latter option. Neimi is now a free agent, while Turco signed a one year deal for $1.2 million to replace him as the Blackhawks’ starting goaltender.

The New York Jets received some very distressing news on Sunday with the announcement that All Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis is unhappy with his current contract and is planning to hold out until its renegotiated. Revis missed a mandatory team meeting and a conditioning run on Sunday, and sources report that he’s willing to continue his holdout ‘indefinitely’. With neither side appearing in the mood to capitulate, he could be out of action for awhile.

Earlier this year, the University of Arizona announced a number of ‘self sanctions’ related to NCAA violations committed by Hall of Fame basketball coach Lute Olson. Late in the week, the NCAA added their own punishment to that resulting in Arizona having to vacate 18 wins from the 2007-2008 basketball season. In addition the school has been placed on two years’ probation starting from last Tuesday instead of February when the ‘self sanctions’ were announced.
