Big Shots for June 4, 2010

With cycling's Giro d'Italia and Tour of California behind us, Big Shots looks forward to upcoming posts on the French Open, the Stanley Cup playoffs, and the NBA Finals. Meanwhile, I'm hoping the Frisbee dogs and streakers found in this post hold you over until next week. Today we also learn that cats play soccer, people fall overboard during yacht races, and Indy cars disintegrate on impact. ( 30 photos total)
