SNOWBASIN -- A pair of youngsters made it interesting, but couldn't quite come up with enough Saturday night to unseat the reigning king of the freeski superpipe at the Winter Dew Tour.

Twenty-one-year-old David Wise of Reno, Nev. won the mens freeski superpipe finals Saturday with a score of 94.50, but France's Kevin Rolland took home his second consecutive Dew Cup at the Toyota Championships after finishing second with 93.00. Up-and-coming sensation Torin Yater-Wallace, of Colorado, was third with 92.75.

LONDON -- Real Madrid and Barcelona are football's biggest moneymakers for the third straight year and look set to out-earn their rivals for the foreseeable future.

The annual review of football finance by Deloitte shows Madrid topping the list for the seventh straight year with revenue of 479.5 million ($636.5 million) to the year ending June 30, an increase of 9 percent on the previous 12 months.

Bayern Munich was fourth with (euro) 321.4 million ($426.6 million), with Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Liverpool and Schalke next.

I never saw Ernest Hemingway pecking at his typewriter, never saw Vincent van Gogh dabbing colors on a canvas; never heard John Coltrane playing his saxophone at Birdland.
