Say it isn't so Bjorn...times can't be that bad can they???

So sad...one of my top 3 all time favorites, Bjorn Borg, is auctioning off his Wimbledon trophies. The Swedish tennis great will auction off his five Wimbledon trophies and two of his rackets. Borg is the only player to win five consecutive Wimbledon titles. He'll put his trophies on the block at the Bonhams auction house in London on June 21. He hopes to get between 200,000 pounds and 300,000 pounds.

Borg, who was voted Sweden's greatest athlete of the 20th century in his home country, said he is selling the memorabilia to improve his personal economy.

You could always get a talk show on Sweden's CNBC equivalent like Mac...well...I guess that didn't work so well...

Anyway...we at WATR hope you're getting on your feet Bjorn...we still think you rock!
