Monday Musings

November 6, 2006

Penn State football coach Joe Paterno was injured in a sideline collision Saturday.

Paterno was taken to a nearby hospital, where he got an MRI for half-price with his AARP discount.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Kenny Rogers won the fifth Gold Glove of his career.

Commissioner Bud Selig happily shook Rogers' hand as he presented the award, then needed adhesive remover to pry himself free.

Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens acknowledged he sometimes sleeps during team meetings.

The admission sent Owens' value skyrocketing in fantasy football leagues that give points for irresponsibility.

Race car driver Paul Tracy might miss the season's final race after he crashed a golf cart while drunk.

Tracy said he could fight through the injuries he sustained, but the genitalia his friends drew on his face after he passed out might be too much to overcome.

Tennessee State women's hoops coach Tracee Jones won $265,000 on the NBC game show "Deal or No Deal" that aired last week.

In a related story, MSU football head coach John L. Smith is scheduled to appear on a November episode of "Who Wants to Hire a Millionaire?"
