Monday musings

A different take on the sports world

February 27, 2006

A pair of magicians performed at halftime of last week's MSU-Ohio State men's basketball game.

Tragically, the performance was cut short when the performers went to pull a rabbit out of a hat and instead pulled out Michigan center Amadou Ba, who then shoved the pair to the ground.

An American skeleton racer was knocked out of the Olympics last week after he broke a bone in his back.

The racer did, however, receive the Most Ironic Injury of the Year Award.

With two free throws late in Saturday's win against Temple, Duke guard J.J. Redick moved into first place on the all-time ACC scoring list.

And with a "You suck, J.J.!" chant moments later, Redick moved into first place on the all-time NCAA most-heckled list.

The NFL Scouting Combine is this week, giving prospective players a chance to improve their stock.

It's also a chance for the hair gel industry to capitalize on Mel Kiper Jr.'s extended TV time.

A participant in the Bassmasters Classic was disqualified in the first round after he destroyed safety equipment on his boat in anger that two of the fish he caught died.

In a statement, the fish said they would not apologize for dying.
