Perhaps because it's the first time since 1990 that the official Wimbledon champions' photo hasn't included Steffi Graf, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer or the Williams sisters, Novak Djokovic and Petra Kvitova felt the need to wear name tags when the official portrait was taken at the winners' ball on Sunday.

The 2011 champs attended the annual gala in their honor on Sunday and mingled, sans name tags, with past champions, friends and families. Sometime before the photo, Djokovic had one attached to his lapel and Kvitova to her dress.

For Kvitova, I can see the need to be identified. She entered the tournament on the fringes of the top 10 and only had two Grand Slam quarterfinals to her name prior to Wimbledon. There are many blonde-haired women on tour whose names end with the suffix -ova and it gets a little overwhelming at times. Djokovic, though? The guy is 48-1 on the year and took out the defending champion in the final. If he needs a name tag then somebody like Mardy Fish probably needs to walk around Wimbledon with a Vegas marquee.

This being Wimbledon, the name tags held special meaning. (Though it would have been far more amusing had they been wearing "Hello! My Name Is ____" stickers.) Winners of the tournament receive honorary membership to the All England Club, complete with member's badge. Winning players are awarded the badge (like Maria Sharapova in 2004) following their victories. Busted Racquet went back through the archives and the only other occasion we could find of a player actually wearing the name tag during the party was Roger Federer in 2006 after his fourth title. His fellow winner that year, Amelie Mauresmo, didn't join him with the self-identifying badge, nor have any of the other recent winners.

After days hours a few minutes of digging, we were still no closer to determining the origin of the tags nor why Djokovic and Kvitova wore them for the photo. I feel like Robert Stack in "Unsolved Mysteries," minus the ominous voiceovers and cheesy reenactments. Rest assured, if, and when, we find out, you'll be the second to know. (A buddy of mine has asked to be first to know and I'll oblige.)

Djokovic liked the member's badge so much that he took it off his tuxedo jacket, brought it home with him and attached it to the white sport coat he wore to the raucous celebration attended by tens of thousands in downtown Belgrade.

The tuxedo may have been a rental, so I can see why Djokovic didn't mind poking a hole in that with the name tag pin. But a Dolce and Gabbana jacket? That's like slapping a Monet. Don't let Anna Wintour see you do that, Nole, or no more Speedo shots in Vogue for you!

PHOENIX ? Stew Force Once has landed in Arizona for this week's All-Star festivities and I am happy to report that all previous reports are true: It is indeed hot as (base)balls down here in the valley.

Who'da thunk it? This region may have been sweltering under the sun for millions of years, but it takes a nation's worth of sportswriters arriving en masse to confirm that the "dry heat," in fact, really exists. Failed weathermen of the journalism world, unite!

Just how hot is it down here?

It's so hot that Bud Selig is expected to opt for a dress shirt with short sleeves.

Actually, that's a terrible example given the commissioner's usual wardrobe. It's actually so hot that the next player to drop out will be replaced on the roster by a Tusken Raider.

Ah, see what I did there? I just combined the two main issues of this upcoming All-Star game at Chase Field in one semi-decent "Star Wars" reference. With a haboob of replacement players working its way in on Monday morning, it's almost impossible to remember who's here, who's supposed to be here and who's just happy they got late notice they'll be receiving the All-Star bonuses from their contracts.

But, hey, what does it matter? Baseball is on break for its Midsummer Classic and I'll be here to report on the scene. First thing up are the starting pitcher press conferences, followed by the National League player availability in which I'll wait out reporters asking inane questions to ask questions that are even more inane.

Stay tuned and follow along on Facebook and Twitter.

Continuing on with our Zeroth Down series of CFL previews, here's a look at the Calgary Stampeders. The Stampeders put up a league-best 13-5 record in 2010, but fell in their only playoff game with a 20-16 West Final loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. They'll belooking to maintain a solid regular-season performance while improving on their post-season showing, but will they be able to do it despite their offseason losses?

Back To The Future: Import running back Willie Burden joined the Stampeders in 1974 after a solid career with the North Carolina State Wolfpack, where he finished as the school's seventh-leading rusher despite only playing for three seasons and was named the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year in 1973. He was drafted by both the NFL's Detroit Lions (139th overall, in the sixth round) and the upstart World Football League's Portland Storm, but opted to head north of the border and join up with Calgary. It proved to be a great move for Burden, as he picked up 541 yards on 94 carries in his inaugural season, but it was only a taste of better things to come.

In 1974, Burden set a CFL rushing record with 332 carries for 1896 yards, including a team-record tying 238 against Winnipeg on November 2. He was selected as a league all-star and was named the CFL's most outstanding player. Burden wouldn't quite hit those heights again, but he was perennially a solid contributor for the Stampeders until his retirement in 1981, and left as the team's third-leading rusher of all time (he has since been passed by Kelvin Anderson and current running back Joffrey Reynolds). Unfortunately, the rest of the team wasn't all that good during Burden's tenure; they finished fourth or fifth in the West every year from 1974 through 1977, only made it to the West Final twice and lost both times, leaving him without even a Grey Cup appearance. He was still recognized for his career of success, though, with his #10 jersey retired in 1982, his name added to the Wall of Honour in 1992 and his Hall of Fame bust coming in 2001.

Burden is relevant to the modern-day Stampeders, as they're also a team with an excellent rushing attack. One of their running backs, Joffrey Reynolds, has already passed Burden on the team's career rushing list, and he doesn't seem to be slowing down much. The 31-year-old Reynolds picked up 1,200 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 217 carries, and added 286 yards on 36 receptions. His averages of 5.5 (rushing) and 7.7 (receiving) yards per touch were down from his career numbers (5.9 and 9.1 yards per touch respectively), but those are still impressive numbers. Beyond Reynolds, the Stampeders have arguably the best backup running back in the league in Canadian Jon Cornish, a product of the Kansas Jayhawks who generally spelled Reynolds on every third series in 2010. Cornish collected 618 yards on just 85 carries last year for an average of 7.3 yards per carry, and added 226 more yards on 14 receptions (16.1 yards per pass). He was also named Duane Forde's top Canadian player this week. Between him, Reynolds and mobile quarterback Henry Burris (who added 491 rushing yards on 70 carries last year, for an average of 7.0 yards per carry), the Stampeders had by far the best ground attack in the CFL last season, and one that would make Burden proud. They've also used a running back by committee strategy that's very popular in the NFL and NCAA, but hasn't seen much play north of the border. If they can keep their ground game success, it could be a good year out in Calgary.

Offence: As mentioned above, the rushing game should be solid. However, there is one thing that might be a source for concern; the departure of left tackle Ben Archibald, who was named the CFL's most outstanding lineman last season and left for the B.C. Lions in free agency. On opening day Archibald will be replaced as Burris' blind-side protector at the start of the year by Gerald Cadogan, the former Penn State star who's had a few cups of coffee in the NFL but only joined the Stampeders' practice squad towards the end of last season. Right tackle Stanley Bryant and right guard J'Michael Deane are also new additions; East Carolina product Bryant started three games down the stretch last year, while Deane's a rookie who was still at Michigan State last season, but will be filling in for the injured Dmitri Tsoumpas for the time being. How the new offensive line gels may wind up being a crucial factor in the success of the running game.

The passing game will also be impacted by the changes on the offensive line, but there's a lot to like about it still. Burris (pictured at the top of the post in Calgary's first preseason game against B.C.) was named the league's most outstanding player last season after throwing for 4,945 yards and 38 touchdowns and completing 66.2 per cent of his passes, and he still has some of the league's top receivers in Nik Lewis, Romby Bryant and Ken-Yon Rambo. Burris' 20 interceptions in 2010 are a little worrying, as his game does involve some risk and reward, and it's going to be interesting to see how he adapts to the changes in his blockers. With that said, though, Calgary put up a league-high 626 points last season, and Montreal (521) was the only other team to even crack 500. They have some personnel losses, especially up front, but this should still be a tremendous offence.

Rating: Five "Friday" parodies.

Defence: The defence is a bit more of a concern. The 459 points they conceded in 2010 weren't bad (third-best in the league, actually), but they lost a couple of crucial pieces in the offseason. League all-star cornerbacks Brandon Browner and Dwight Anderson (the league's top trash-talker, pictured at right) both left (for the Seattle Seahawks and Montreal Alouettes respectively), and the Stamps' secondary looked awfully thin after them last year. Veteran safety Wes Lysack also left for Toronto, so it's going to be a rather new cast at the back. Geoff Tisdale, who Calgary picked up from Hamilton this offseason, could be a capable fill-in, but the rest of the cast is a bit of a work in process.

In the linebacking corps, middle linebacker Juwan Simpson had a great year last season, racking up 71 tackles, seven sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception and earning a league all-star nod in the process. He's looking to do even more this coming season, though. The other spots are less sure: Malik Jackson should be the main option on the weak side, and he's been good at times, but the strong side saw a training-camp competition between three players and hasn't been entirely settled. The line also will look quite different, thanks to Tom Johnson's departure for the NFL and Mike Labinjo's release. (DeVone Claybrooks is a proven veteran, though, and he should have another good year.) This isn't a bad defence, but it carries plenty of question marks.

Rating: Three lingerie photos.

Special teams: Special teams should be an area of reasonable strength for the Stampeders. They have arguably the best punter in the league in Burke Dales (who averaged a league-high 45.6 yards per punt last year), and Guelph product Rob Maver had a tremendous first year as a kicker, leading all kickers with 185 points. Granted, 70 of those points came on converts thanks to the Stampeders' superb offence, but Maver (pictured warming up last year at right) did all right on field goals, hitting 78.7 per cent of his attempts on the year and improving consistently as time went on. Long-snapper Randy Chevrier is one of the CFL's best, and Larry Taylor (acquired from Montreal) should definitely help the return game. Overall, there are a few issues on the special teams units, but they should be pretty solid overall.

Rating: Four public service announcements.

Totals: 12 points (out of 15)

Greatest strength: The ground game. If they can get their offensive line to gel, the Stamps have the league's best one-two punch in Reynolds and Cornish.

Potential weakness: The secondary. It's been discussed above, but Calgary's loss of both Browner and Anderson might be the most catastrophic positional swing in the entire league. The Stampeders didn't have a lot of depth in the secondary behind them last year, and the secondary may have turned from one of their strengths into a weakness.

Season prediction: The Stampeders should be very good again, but I'm a bit worried about how their secondary will look without Browner and Anderson, and I wasn't completely sold on their defence even before those losses. I think they'll take a small step back to an 11-7 record, but that should still be good enough to claim first place in the tightly-contested West Division. However, I think they'll fall in the West Final for the second-straight year. The West is close enough that anything could happen, but I'm just not sure the Stampeders have the defensive depth to make a Grey Cup run.

An Auburn-Alabama tornado relief game was proposed back in May and somewhat pooh-poohed, but two months later both school's football alumni are taking up the cause.

Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com proposed an August scrimmage between Alabama and Auburn in an effort to raise funds for the damage cause by a major tornado that ravaged the state back in May. To do this, the school's had to get permission from the NCAA.

So to skirt all the red tape, former football players from both schools have agreed to play in a flag football game next month in Hoover, Ala. The HeartinDixie Alumni Day Flag Football Game will be Aug. 13 at 7 p.m. at Spain Park High School.

Among the past athletes and coaches attending the weekend's events will be Bo Jackson, Cornelius Bennett, Pat Dye, Ray Perkins, Al Del Greco, Bobby Humphrey, Stan White, Gene Stallings, Joe Cribbs and Lee Roy Jordan.

Names of participating players in the flag football game have not been announced. Players must be out of college or the NFL for at least two years. Sanderson said the idea came from "A" Club members as they helped clean up tornado damage in Holt.

"A bunch of us said we ought to play a football game against Auburn," Sanderson said. "(Former Alabama linebacker) Darryl Fuhrman wouldn't let it go. He put together a group of guys and it suddenly became, 'Who knows someone at Auburn?'"

The game was initially planned for this weekend, which would have allowed Alabama coach Nick Saban and Auburn coach Gene Chizik to possibly attend. Richardson said they won't be present in August because of practices.

Tickets are $20 (plus $5 for parking) and about 40 former players will be on hand to sign autographs. All of the proceeds will go toward the HeartinDixie Foundation, which helps victims of the tornadoes.

The flag football game actually kicks off a weekend of events, which also included a benefit golf tournament and a golf pro-am.

The group that put this fundraiser together is considering making it a yearly event depending on how well it goes next month.

This week before the British Open (or Open Championship for you across the pond), we will be previewing the top players in the world and their chances at Sandwich. We continue with a German looking for his first Claret Jug.

Martin Kaymer

Current world ranking: 3

So far this year: It looked to be a promising year when Kaymer won his opening event in Abu Dhabi and moved to the top of the World Golf Rankings a couple months later. But since then, his game has been unimpressive, as he missed the cut at the Masters and finished T-39 at the U.S. Open. The only positive recently was a T-4 finish at the Alstom Open de France, but that's definitely not a top 5 to write home about.

Record at the British Open: Kaymer doesn't have a lot of history at the event, but in his three starts in the Open Championship, his best finish came last year at St. Andrews, where he finished T-7. The week could have been better had it not been for a final-round 2-over 74.

Why he could win: Just look at his three finishes in the Open. He's gone 80th, T-34 and T-7, meaning he's improved every single year. At his current pace, that means he should be ready to pick up a Claret Jug this year! If only it were that easy. Unlike the Masters, where Kaymer tried to completely alter his swing, he won't have to worry about messing with his game this time around. If he keeps things simple, he's got a great chance.

Why he could fall short: Because he has a tendency to overthink things, which can lead him to do stupid things ... like change his swing before a major. I hate brining up Augusta, but he's been trying to work his way back from that train wreck ever since then. The recent T-4 is promising, but his record in majors this year is pretty unimpressive.

Our take: Even though Martin Kaymer is the third-ranked player in the world, you'd be hard-pressed to find anybody picking him to win the Open Championship. Maybe that's a good thing. Recent results have him rounding into form at the right time, but I still think he's going to come up short and finish inside the top 15.

Your turn, folks. Do you think Kaymer has the game to pick up his second major championship?

When you're a 20-year-old amateur playing with your namesake in a major championship on your home turf, the pressure is tremendous. But you sure wouldn't know that while watching Tom Lewis stalk the links at Royal St. George's.

The kid who won the British Boys Championship in 2009 at this same golf course not only tied the lead after the first day at the Open Championship, but his 5-under 65 was the lowest round ever by an amateur in this major championship, beating the likes of Justin Rose in '98, Tiger Woods in '96 and Frank Stranahan in 1950.

So who is this Lewis kid? Probably not some flash in the pan. To qualify for the Open, Lewis shot 63-65, and told people that he'd wait to turn professional until after the Walker Cup, unless he wins the Open, which shows just how much he believes in himself. This is a kid that started playing golf at the age of 4 (hello, Mr. Woods), and lost in a playoff last November at the New South Wales Open, his first-ever professional event down in Australia. He tied for 59th in his only European Tour event, the 2011 Dubai Desert Classic, and said after, "I don't think I performed well." Mighty lofty expectations for Mr. Lewis, set by himself it seems.

Lewis, playing with his namesake Tom Watson, birdied four holes in a row before getting his ball up and down from the side of the 18th green to tie Thomas Bjorn at the Open, and never looked the least bit rattled. The best moment of the day for the young Lewis? When the 4-footer for par dropped in on the 18th green, Watson was standing behind him, smiling like his own kid had just shot that number.

We get a lot of these stories at major championships, where someone you've never heard of plays a great round of golf early in the week, but when a kid this young does it, with his anticipated date of turning professional coming after the Walker Cup, you can't help but stand back in awe. Playing with his legend, in the biggest tournament of his life, and he calmly and stoically puts together the finest amateur round ever.

What's next for Lewis? An hour or so of media interviews the likes of which he's never seen, and then more people pulling him in different directions. Sometimes they say the easiest place to be as a golfer is on the course, playing, and I'm sure Lewis will agree with that come Friday morning, but for now, he's the story out of Sandwich, and much deserving.

Let's play boxing world scramble. Usman Ahmed and Prince Naseem Hamed are pretty close, right? The fighters are similar in more ways than meets the eye.

This goofy video of Ahmed dancing his way to the ring felt like deja vu. Watch the flyweight boogie on down and then nearly have his taken off at the 1:03 mark by Ashley Sexton.

There's nothing fans love more than watching a showboat get crushed. Before his fight against Wayne McCullough in 1998, Hamed came to the ring to theme of "Thriller."

When Hamed took a big step up in competition, Marco Antonio Barrera taught him a lesson and even slammed his head into the corner (5:45 mark).

The worst part about Ahmed is that he's barely established himself in the game. He hasn't fought since December and sports a very pedestrian 6-4 record. Hamed went 36-1 and at different times held the 126 belt with three different sanctioning bodies.
