Monday musings

April 3, 2006

Detroit Pistons general manager Joe Dumars has been elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame, The Associated Press reports.

Meanwhile, Dumars' former teammate, current Knicks' GM Isiah Thomas, has reportedly traded his Hall of Fame membership for a Kroger Plus Card and a two-week trial with the Hair Club For Men.

The Ted Williams Museum, which commemorated the life of the late Red Sox slugger, is closing because of a lack of attendance.

The museum's memorabilia will be cryogenically frozen.

Of the more than 3 million brackets submitted to ESPN.com, only four correctly predicted the men's Final Four.

Interestingly, that's the same number that correctly predicted the proper spelling of UCLA's Luc Richard Mbah a Moute's name.

The Charlotte Bobcats cut guard Kareem Rush last week, citing a lack of effort in practice.

We haven't seen this much caution to avoid a Rush since last year's freshmen found out about the greek initiation rituals.

Beginning next season, the NBA will ban its players from wearing spandex tights, which have become increasingly common this year.

Also to be added the list of banned fashion accessories: Scrunchies, flip-flops and friendship bracelets.
