Monday musings

Two Gonzaga basketball players were arrested last week after marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms were found in their car.

Defense attorneys are confident any related charges will be dropped once prosecutors see how little else there is to do around the Gonzaga campus.

An estimated 93.1 million people watched last Sunday's Super Bowl, making it the second most watched football game ever.

Media analysts caution that number might be high, since many people actually turned the game on during a Rex Grossman possession and thought they were watching a documentary on natural disasters.

Upset by Dwyane Wade's criticism of Dirk Nowitzki's leadership skills last week, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban ripped Wade on his blog, saying among other things, "You obviously have an overinflated value of your own."

Cuban then pushed up his glasses, adjusted his suspenders and yelled upstairs to tell his mom how funny the joke was that he just made.

A Serbian village ravaged by floods is trying to change its fortune and attract tourists by constructing a statue of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa film character in the middle of town.

Residents hope the gimmick works better than the last recovery idea — a life-size mural of a nude Don Vito.

New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is selling a children's book based on his experiences playing while growing up.

The book costs $252 million over 10 years, but it won't open when you really need to read it most.
