Here's a funny video for you. In a clumsy attempt to catch a foul ball, a father in Taiwan accidently dropped his toddler daughter into the stadium seats below his own and then yanked her up by the leg. The video isn't in English, but there's no translation needed for the look on his wife's face. Someone's sleeping on the couch (spare futon?) tonight.

Michael Vick agreed to a contract earlier this month with the Philadelphia Eagles that makes him one of the NFL’s highest paid players – the deal is worth $100 million, including $40 million guaranteed, over 6 years.

Vic was due to earn slightly more than $16 million this season, but with the deal, he will earn a bit less than that. His reduced salary may give the Eagles' salary cap enough flexibility to give Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson an extension.

Yesterday, we told you the extraordinary story of 61-year-old Diana Nyad, who had begun a 103-mile swim from Cuba to Florida in attempts to be the first recorded person to make the swim without using a shark cage. Unfortunately, Nyad was forced to abandon her journey after 29 hours in the water – about halfway through the trip.

Nyad was vomiting when she was brought aboard a boat at 12:45 a.m. last night. She had struggled through ocean swells, should pain, and asthma all day Monday before she was forced to give up the 103-mile swim.

“I’m not sad. It was absolutely the right call,” Nyad said.

Olympic silver medalist Jeret “Speedy” Peterson has committed suicide, just days after being arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.  He was found beside his vehicle just outside Salt Lake City on Monday, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A spokesman for Unified Police of Greater Salt Lake, Lieutenant Justin Hoyal, says that Peterson had called 911 threatening to kill himself, and left a suicide note. The note has not been released by police.

His death comes just three days after he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Idaho. He had been stopped for driving 70mph in a 25 mph zone. Peterson pleaded not guilty, and was released from jail on $500 bail.
