So close to winning the Triple Crown…and yet so far away. Are we ever going to get the chance to see a horse win one again?

The World Cup starts next week. So Ronaldo should be making his final preparations and getting ready to suit up for Portugal. But instead, he's dealing with a thigh injury and tendinitis in his left knee that could hinder his ability to take part in Portugal's first World Cup match against Germany. It'd be a real shame if the world didn't get to see one of the best soccer players in the world play on the biggest stage.

The Grizzlies forward is the kind of guy who should not be making headlines right now. He should be off working on his game and doing whatever it takes to earn some more minutes next season. But very early Saturday morning, Johnson was arrested in Memphis after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend. And it could impact his future with the Grizzlies.

No one is going to mistake the Commander-in-Chief for a professional athlete anytime soon. But last week, a video of him working out was leaked. And yo, why was the President doing exercises WITH THE SAME DUMBBELLS THAT YOUR MOM USES?! Seriously, Mr. President? With all due respect, that's weak.

What was worse for LeBron—getting carried off the court with cramps in Game 1 of the 2014 NBA Finals or getting ethered on Twitter for 24 hours after it happened? We're a little surprised that #cramps isn't still trending.

The good news: The UFC President won about $2 million at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas over the course of the last three months. The bad news: The Palms has subsequently banned him from gambling in their casino because of his good luck—and he's having trouble finding somewhere else to gamble. What part of the game is that?!

We thought Donald Sterling's former girlfriend/assistant/whatever the hell else she was to him would disappear once Sterling was forced to sell the Clippers. We were wrong! Last week, she was allegedly assaulted by two men who hurled racial slurs at her and then punched her in the face. That's obviously not the kind of thing we want to see her in the news for right now.

The New York Rangers had a chance to steal a game on the road in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Los Angeles Kings. They were up 2-0 to start to game and seemed poised to get a W. But the Kings eventually tied the game 2-2 and sent it to overtime, where a very bad pass by Girardi ended up costing his team the game. If the Rangers end up losing the series, they'll look back on Game 1 and wonder, "What if…?"

Is Federer's career in a tailspin? It sure looks like it. Last Sunday, he lost to 18th-seeded Ernests Gulbis in the fourth round of the French Open. It was his earliest defeat at Roland Garros since 2004 and could signal the beginning of the end for one of the greatest players to ever set foot on a tennis court.

The WWE legend should be basking in the glory of a successful pro wrestling career right now. But instead, he may have just tarnished his entire legacy. Last week, a Canadian judge awarded a wrestler named Devon "Hannibal" Nicholson about $2 million after he filed a lawsuit against Abdullah. Nicholson claimed that he contracted hepatitis C from Abdullah during a 2007 match and the judge felt that there was enough evidence to show that Abdullah did give Nicholson the infectious disease. What a disaster for a guy who is in the WWE's Hall of Fame.
