ProTour title comes down to the wire, including calculations based on whether or not doping suspensions are overturned. (And Cadel wins!!) (pro cycling).
Davydenko's gittishness and complete inability to understand why he wasn't in the Russian Davis Cup final team (tennis)
The chaos and pointlessness of the Cricket World Cup.
Someone's got to be able to get something out of the Rugby World Cup, although I'll admit to only paying attention to the day both Australia and New Zealand got beaten...

Point one: the first week or so of the month-long cup is utterly pointless to the big countries (but huge for the "small" cricket countries like Canada, the Netherlands, the US (if there's a team - I'm not sure)). For the "Minnows" (ie Canada, Netherlands, etc) it's their one chance in four years to play countries like NZ, Australia, India, Pakistan, etc.
This time around, two "big" countries got beaten by Minnows one time too many in the early rounds. One of these was Pakistan. The Pakistani coach, a Brit (I think), was found dead in his hotel room the morning after the Pakistani loss. The cause of death went from natural causes to murder and back again. There were all sorts of accusations about betting on matches and match-throwing and things like that. It was the lead item on the news in Australia for at least a week or so, until it got to the semi-finals and Australia started beating other teams the way they thought they ought to do...
