HELLO NEWMAN: Ryan may have won the 500, but how high do I rank him - find out on the KAC RACING PAGE.  FOOTBALLER SUFFERS THEISMAN-LIKE INJURY: The career Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva is in jeopardy after suffering one of the more graphic injuries in any sport when he was kicked in the leg during a challenge in the third minute of his team's game Saturday. The opposing player was immediately red-carded, with Arsenal's manager calling for a lifetime ban for the player in a post-game presser. Adding insult to injury, the 10-man opposition tied the Gunners with a late penalty, reducing Arsenal's lead to three points (one game) over Manchester United, whose odds of winning the treble (Premier League regular season title, FA Cup, and Champions League) were reduced to 25-1 to 14-1 (per a sideline LED display for a betting site) while eliminating Arsenal in a 4-0 rout in the FA Cup last weekend.ROBBY GORDON BLASTS NASCAR: His top-ten run in the Daytona 500 was negated during the week after NASCAR hands out a 100-point penalty on Robby and his team for using an unapproved nose cone. The nose was sent to the team after Robby decided to switch from Ford to Dodge a couple weeks back. The piece was sent by mistake, and was the nose that was expected to be approved for competition in the near future - but had not been as of yet. Robby cites other examples that makes him convinced that NASCAR has it out for him, including throwing a debris caution right after he pitted at Daytona, and even the fact that his team got the short straw being forced into a makeshift garage under a tent this weekend, while nearly all of the other teams had the normal inside accommodations. What - were we expecting Dale Junior to get kicked outside??? Message to Robby, it may seem like you are always getting sunk by the river card, but NASCAR would never single out and continuously penalize a specific driver. Or maybe Robby should accept the fact that he is Jimmy Spencer for a new generation and he just isn't ever going to get a break - enjoy the pit road speeding penalty sure to come at Fontana.  KRISSIE NEWMAN SETS EXAMPLE FOR NASCAR WAGS: Spends many hours raising money to help abused animals who have been used for dogfighting purposes. She also is in the middle of getting a pilot's license, uses her criminal science degree to watch out on Ryan Newman's finanical affairs, and even bakes cookies for the crewmembers on the #12 team every weekend.. CHECK OUT TODAY'S YOUTUBE LINK!!! The date was September 20, 1992 - Don Majkowski had gone down with an ankle injury early in the Packers game v. the Cincinnati Bengals. An untested second-year QB is thrown into the fray, and eventually wins the game with a 35-yard TD to Kitrick Taylor in the closing seconds. Majkowski would never see Lambeau Field as a Packer again. The link is an NBC post-game segment featuring an interview with the winning QB - Bob Costas explains that he is indeed pronouncing Brett Favre's name right - and is joined in studio by O.J. Simpson and Buddy Ryan, who even by then was out of work. And far down was what turned out to be a historic moment on NBC's pecking order??? Jim Lampley was dispatched to fill-in on play-by-play that particular week, as it obviously must had been a quiet weekend in the boxing world.MLB PLAYER CRASHES THROUGH GLASS DOOR!!! This instantly goes to the top of the list of all-time bizarre off-field baseball injuries. Astros OF Hunter Pence spends Monday night in the ER after smashing through a sliding glass door trying to get back to his hot tub. Pence says was in a hot tub and got out to use the bathroom. He says he left the door open, but didn't noticed that a friend had just closed it. Pence then tries to go through the door and the glass shattered, leaving him with cuts everywhre. Only question now is what really happened??? Was the dude in a full sprint or something trying to get through the thing - It may be a new Jeff Kent story for a new generation for all we know... ADS COMING SOON FOR NHL NETMINDERS??? Calling it the 'wave of the future', a group of 'influential NHLers' is asking the league and the players' union to consider placing corporate logos on goaltender jerseys as a way to generate new revenues. Netminders Martin Brodeur, Marty Turco, Dominik Hasek and Dwayne Roloson are proposing the creation of a Goaltender's Club. The idea is that since goaltenders are the most visible men on the ice that it would be a good idea to put advertising on them. Roloson doesn't believe that ads would taint the traditional hockey sweater, noting ads are on uniforms Europe and (in his opinion) 'doesn't take away from the true jersey look' Actually the ads plastered all over Euro hockey jerseys make NASCAR entries look naked by comparison. It is believed on-jersey ads could create upwards to $30 million per year for the league - and of course once they get slapped on the goaltenders the rest of the squad, as well as uniforms in other sports, won't be far off. NHL PROSPECT DEAD AT AGE 19: Calgary Flames draft pick Mickey Renaud found dead in his Windsor, ON area home early Monday. Renaud was scheduled to participate in a Family Skate Day with his OHL Junior team when he was stricken. His teammates were pulled off the ice and the promotion was cancelled as news of the tragedy went down. Renaud had played Sunday and had 21 goals and 41 points in 56 games this season. Renaud's dad had a brief NHL career, playing 152 career games with Hartford and Buffalo.LIVERPOOL MANAGER SAVES HIS JOB FOR THIS WEEK: Rafa Benitez was perhaps 180 minutes away from being whacked by owner Tom Hicks after Liverpool crashed out of the FA Cup by finding a way to lose to a lower-division team last weekend - but redeems himself for now as his side scores two late goals v. Inter in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. The match turned when Inter's Marco Materazzi got red-carded in the 30th minute. The replays didn't show him doing much, maybe he called someone a terrorist whore again or something...  NOT ON MY WATCH!!! Bad news for those eagerly awaiting that Aston Villa v. Newcastle United fixture at Lambeau Field - in a strongly worded statement, FIFA's president said that the English Premier League plans of playing games outside of England is nothing short of a money grab. Not only that, the countries being targeted to host the games are not even interested - saying that if they allowed the EPL to play there other leagues would quickly follow, and suddenly there would be no interest in those nations own domestic leagues (MLS, etc.). And not only that, the EPL head added that if the league insisted on the 'international round' that it just might have a negative impact on England's 2018 World Cup bid. Sounds like time to throw this idea in the crapper.PATRIOTS TAPING DATES BACK TO 2000??? That would exactly be the first year of coach Bill Belichick's regime. After meeting with Commissioner Goodell, U.S. Senator Arlen Spector said 'There was confirmation that the Patriots have taped since the year 2000 when coach Belichick took over. There's no doubt it had an impact on the games. It's hard to say what games were involved with the destruction of the notes and the tapes.' LAWSUITS OVER SB 36??? Former Rams player Willie Gary is suing for $150,000 - 25K for the difference between the winning and losing shares, and also $125K for the estimated value of the Super Bowl winners ring. Also, a ticket broker who attended the game is suing for the face value of the ticket that day $400. If the league had to refund all the tickets from that day it would cost over $29 million, for the 45 members of the losing Rams, the difference in the bonuses and the value of the rings would be $6.75 million. STEWART, BUSCH BOTH GET SIX WEEKS 'PROBATION': And what's Stewart doing in front of Congress - don't tell me HE has tainted the great American pastime of stock car racing, has he??? In any event, the drivers of the #2 and #20 are on probation for six weeks - and NASCAR says this year they are going to 'redefine' what probation means - meaning that if either acts up again, they just might put them on probation for the ENTIRE YEAR!!! What - you think they are actually going to sit them for races??? And I would believe that Stewart did actually rail Kurt Busch in the NASCAR hauler, but that would had been TOO DAMN EASY!!!BRADY QUINN DENIES REPORT OF NEW YEARS' DUST-UP: Columbus, OH man says that Brady was among a group insulting gays outside of a restaurant in a 9-1-1 call. When police arrived, Quinn was found aruging with a man, but then stepped away. In a statement, Quinn said that he was at the establishment with his girlfriend and others for dinner - but at no point that night was involved in a verbal or physical altercation. DON'T LOOK FOR NHL'ERS TO DON NECK GUARDS: Even after the Richard Zednik injury, pro hockey players tend to be against dressing up like fencers or wearing a turtleneck like the girl with the dorky glasses on Scooby Doo. This goes in line with the NHL's longtime 'macho culture'. Goalies didn't regularly wear facemasks until the 1960s and helmets weren't mandated for incoming players until 1980. Even today, only a fraction of the players today wear facial protection, akin to NFL players running around without facemasks.  INDIANA BASKETBALL ACCUSED OF FIVE 'MAJOR VIOLATIONS': You knew what they always said, at least Bob Knight made sure to play by the rules, maybe not so in the current regime of Kelvin Sampson. At issue is 'impermissible' phone calls Sampson made while still on probation for similar offenses he made while he was coaching the University of Oklahoma. Sampson was punished by the NCAA in 2006, less than two months after taking the IU job. Sampson was banned from calling recruits and making off-campus visits for one year. Meanwhile, IU's AD is quoted as saying that he is 'profoundly disappointed' in Sampson - that does not sound like a vote of confidence.GUN BRANDISHED AT REGGIE BUSH DEPOSITION??? Sports is sounding more like a Sopranos episode every day - Tuesday was supposed to be the day that Reggie Bush addressed his accusers about the $300,000 or so he supposedly received while still at USC. But the meeting never got off the ground, as Lloyd Lake and his attorney walked out because they say Bush brought along a bodyguard - and had packed heat, adding that he made no mistake by pulling open his jacket to expose his weaponry. ROCKER SAYS SELIG KNEW HE WAS ON THE JUICE: Get ready for periodic appearances from John Rocker in baseball's steroid mess. Rocker got on A-T-L radio on Monday saying that he, Rafael Palmeiro, Pudge Rodriguez, and Alex Rodriguez were advised by union and management doctors following a spring training lecture on how to effectively use steroids. Rocker went on to say that the doctors advised the players not to overdo steroids and triple-stack them 10 months out of the year 'like Lyle Alzado did'. Looks like A-Rod is going to spend much of the season fending off the tag-team of Rocker and Jose Canseco.  MATCH PENALTY - TWO HABS ARRESTED IN TAMPA: In town to play the Tampa Bay Lightning, two Montreal Canadien hockey players were arrested Sunday night outside of a nightclub. 23-year-old defenseman Ryan O'Byrne has been accused of stealing a woman's purse, while 29-year-old right wing Thomas Kostopoulos was charged with resisting an officer. O'Byrne has been charged with felony grand theft and posted $2,000 bail while Kostopoulos faces a misdemeanor count and posted a $500 bail. NHL PLAYER 'STABLE' AFTER THROAT SLASH In a scene eerily similar to an incident involving then-Sabres goaltender Clint Malarchuk in 1989, Richard Zednik was sliced in the throat by a stray skate of a teammate during the Florida Panthers game in Buffalo Sunday night. Zednik skated to his teams bench holding his neck leaving a sickening trail of blood behind him. The game was then delayed 15 minutes as Zamboni's came out to clean up the grisly scene. DOCTORS - ZEDNIK'S LIFE NEVER IN DANGER: Zednik lost five units of blood, but doctors never considered his life in jeopardy after his carotid artery was nearly severed. Zednik underwent surgery to reconnect the artery Sunday night and remains in an intensive care unit. Attending surgeon says there were no initial signs of brain damage, a fear whenever the coratid artery is clamped. Doc says clamps were in place for about 15 to 20 minutes during surgery, considered to be a short time. Doctor added that the slashed artery was 'hanging by a thread', saying that if the artery had been completely severed the surgery would had been much more extensive. OTHER FRIGHTENING INCIDENTS: In 2000, Canadiens defenseman Trent McCleary suffered a fractured larynx after getting hit in the throat with the puck, the incident ended McCleary's career. On Mother's Day 1998 then-Blues defensemen Chris Pronger suffered what was termed as an 'acute heart attack' after blocking a puck with his chest in a playoff game in Detroit - Pronger briefly lost consciousness, but played in the following game of that series. In 1989, Clint Malarchuk needed 300 stitches to close the wound after his jugular vein was cut. It was said that Clint asked a paramedic if he could get stitched up in time to return for the third period. Meanwhile it was said that numerous fans vomited, two suffered heart attacks, and that even several of the players got physically sick witnessing the incident.ARE SI SWIMSUIT ISSUES NOW TAINTED!?!? Just when you thought you had heard it all from Brian McNamee and Roger Clemens now comes this - McNamee now says before Congress that he injected Debbie Clemens at her husband's direction before a SI swimsuit photo shoot. Now the steroid scandal has officially hit everywhere. NASCAR SEASON OFFICIALLY BEGINS: It doesn't take long for the usual suspects to start snipping at each other, as tempers flare after a crash-filled final practice session for tonight's Bud Shootout. First the #07 got into the #12 and got him loose, and ended up taking out the #24, #48, #1 and #99 among other cars. Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon were among those forced to go to backup cars due to the crash. Then later on the #2 and #20 traded paint, and we know Stewart and Kurt Busch have quite a history - both drivers were called into the NASCAR hauler. Good to see we are already in mid-season form. UPDATE - DID STEWART PUNCH BUSCH IN TRAILER??? Officials summoned Stewart and Busch for a follow-up meeting Saturday, a day after the two drivers tangled on the track, and possibly in the NASCAR trailer afterward. The garage buzz was that Stewart allegedly punched Busch, a claim that is not being confirmed OR denied. A DUEL BETWEEN PEDRO MARTINEZ AND JUAN MARICHAL: It's a dream matchup, one of the pitching greats of the 1960's against perhaps the best from about the last decade. It's something that prior to this week probably happened only in a game of Strat-O-Matic. But the two were shown squaring off against each other this week in a different venue. The pair served as honorary 'soltadores' in a cockfighting arena in the Dominican Republic (VIDEO). They say Marichal's rooster was dealing, but Pedro's bird was roughed up and gave up six earned runs in an inning and a third. I'm sure PETA is ready to respond at any moment.LARY SORENSEN - .48: If you've read the Badjocks BAC rankings over the years, you would know that former MLB pitcher and Detroit Tigers announcer Lary Sorensen was well represented with previous BAC's of .365, .35, and .24 - and that is just three of his previous six drunk driving arrests. Now Lary has officially Gretzkied and retired the list after being found slumped over the wheel last weekend, Sorensen's BAC wound up being recorded at a whopping .48, easily beating a couple of college binge drinkers above others on the top of list. Just how high is .48??? If you weigh 200 lbs and drink an entire 24-pack, you would be close to reaching .48 - or look at it this way, according to the chart .48 would at least put someone in a coma and in many proves to be fatal. Sorensen's last arrest a few years back earned him a year-plus at a prison boot camp where he had to run three miles per day - since the mini-mo tour wasn't good enough I guess it's time for the Full-Mo. Sorensen had been said to be recovering and was working at a self-storage facility where he was only allowed to drive a 20-MPH cart. If anyone gave Sorensen a license at this point some heads need to roll at the DMV, it would also be interesting to see who actually gave this guy the keys to a vehicle. And getting a little off-topic, I know it's been a few weeks since the Packers have played, somebody make sure that Koren Robinson is still on the wagon.  WOULD-BE GUNMAN HAD SUPER BOWL TARGETED: Upset about not getting a liquor license a few months back, a distraught man drove towards the Super Bowl carrying an assault rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition. The man sent an eight page 'manifesto' to media outlets early Sunday vowing to 'shed the blood of the innocent'. The man made his way to the Phoenix Coyotes arena across from the Super Bowl before deciding to turn back and later turning himself in, where he is being held without bail. The suspect wanted to open a Halloween-themed bar in Tempe last fall, but his application for a license turned down, leading to his idea of exacting revenge on the Phoenix area - saying 'how many dollars will you lose? And all because you took my right to own a business from me.' |
