Joe Nuxhall, dead. A sad qualfier to a great trivia question.
Big Baby Glen Davis threatening to upstage Leon Powe at the bottom of the Celtic bench.
ROOTS - the bench, as we used to say in high school, Royal Order Of The Splinter. I had the shortest appearance in a basketball game (7 seconds) as a junior in high school until I saw it eclipsed several times over the past few seasons. When you're only averaging three points a game, do you prorate it to points per minute?
BC rallies to defeat Clemson in Death Valley. I still don't trust Matty Ice, with that tall, strong arm, throw into coverage, risk-taking approach. Those corners close fast in the NFL, and catch the ball.
Kenny Rogers leaves Scott Boras. Cripes, I didn't know they were a couple. Like Bore-Rat needs six percent of that?
Notre Dame beats Duke, in football. If the reverse had happened, would the Apocalypse surely be near?
At least Sports Radio doesn't play Christmas carols starting in November.
The Bruins lose to the Les Habitants...just like old times. Did Yvan Cournoyer, Jr. play or something like that? Is the legend true that he used to shoot a metal puck in his basement?
The Boston Red Sox are adding another 800 seats to Fenway Park. Soon you will be able to hang in sleeping bags from hooks on Pesky Pole, and the Sox are considering adding plexiglass sections to the Green Monster for more seating capacity. Or maybe outfield Whack-A-Mole seating.
Peyton Manning looked more like Eli Manning with 'ordinary' wide receivers. Just kidding.The greatest pitchman on TV.
The San Diego Superchargers, and the Norv Turner effect.
Will Mike Lowell take the most money on the table?
Does anybody go to watch greyhound racing anymore?
What's with the Mets and Yorvit Torrealba?
I've been practicing medicine for 26 years and haven't prescribed growth hormone to anyone yet. Anabolic steroids do have a role in selected severely ill patients though. Call 800-555-HGH1. Operators are standing by.
Carlos Silva is going to get 40 million for four years? It's not the cost of stars that kills sports, it's the high price of mediocrity.
Every idea can be a column. It only takes a keyboard and a sick mind.
