Meet Metta World Peace!

Formerly known as Ron Artest, NBA player. That is, if the LA courts approves his request.

Ron Artest filed for the name change, citing personal reasons for doing so.

Nothing surprises me anymore, when it comes to Artest. In his NBA career, he's instigated the worst player against fan brawl and yet, he's also won awards for community service.

World B. Free, watch out!

If a team wins the world championship in 2007, defends its title in 2009 and is still the team to beat in 2011, don't you think they deserve a little recognition?

Evidently, we Pinoy don't. And that is why our world champion Pinoy Dragon Boat rowers are reduced to begging for funding so they can defend their title this August in Tampa Bay, USA.

Calling P-Noy, MVP, Go Teng Kok and other sports benefactors!!! Can we please give our champions a chance?
