Get the lowdown on the first-round pairings in KAC RACING. NC STATE COACH'S SON FACES 22 COUNTS!?! Sidney Lowe's squad had a nice little run at the end of the season, getting to the championship game of the ACC tournament as well as winning a couple games in the NIT. Unfortunatly, Sidney Lowe Jr. has had his own March Madness - and it ain't good. Lowe Jr. has been arrested in connection with an attempted robbery and shooting this past weekend on the UNC-Greensboro campus. UNCG police charged Lowe Jr. with felony aiding and abetting of attempted armed robbery, three counts of possession of stolen goods or property, two counts of possession of a weapon on educational property, and one count each of possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana, maintaining a dwelling for the keeping and selling of a controlled substance and possession of between one-half and 1 1/2 ounces of marijuana. That was just one weekend, but there's more - Lowe Jr. has also been busted on 13 counts in connection with a robbery the weekend before, that's a whopping 22 if you are scoring at home.  UUU GETS 14 YEARS: Former major league pitcher (and I guess former for sure now) Ugueth Urbina was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the attempted murder of five workers on his family's ranch in October, 2005. UUU was also found guilty of illegal deprivation of liberty and violating a prohibition against taking justice into his own hands. UUU was accused of joining a group of men in attacking and injuring workers with machetes and pouring gasoline on them at his family's ranch. There was another bizarre off-the-field incident during Urbina's career which saw his mother get kidnapped and held hostage in the Venezuelan outback for a period of time.WITH 'FEW PROBLEMS TO SOLVE', SENATE 'BUTTS' INTO BASEBALL/DIRECTV CASE: Memo to the Glenn Beck/Matt Drudge wanna-be's running other sports websites out there - if you don't like John Kerry, then dammit just say it. In any event, Kerry urged MLB to hold off on their potential 'exclusive' deal with DirecTV, and at least allow In Demand to carry the package for the next two seasons until the matter of baseball asking cable carriers to carry their network on a basic cable tier can be resolved. Keith Olbermann had a great take on the subject recently - noting that nothing says great business quite like refusing a service to those who are clammoring for it. LADY UMP SET TO CALL EXHIBITION GAME: For the first time in nearly 20 years, a female umpire is set to work a MLB Spring Training game, As 30 year-old Ria Cortesio will be on the bases for a Cactus League game later on this week. Cortesio is beginning her ninth year umpiring pro-ball, her fifth at the AA level. Ria is the first woman to make a run at the majors since Pam Postema created a brief firestorm reaching the AAA level in the late 1980's-early '90's. Postema's bid to make the show ended when she was unexpectedly fired by the Pacific Coast League - an action which led to a sex-discrimination suit. In 1997 the NBA hired Violet Palmer and Dee Kantner as game officials, Kantner lasted a few years before being let go while Palmer remains in the Association. PEARL SAYS NO TO IOWA OVERTURE: Tennessee basketball coach makes it clear that he has no plans on moving on, even though he began his coaching career as an assistant at Iowa. In fact Pearl releases a statement saying he is more than happy at Knoxville and appreciates the support from Phil Fulmer, Pat Summitt, the school administration and the rest of Vol Nation. Iowa would be a lateral move anyways, and if Pearl were to bolt now he would start getting the Larry Brown rep.. Leaving UWM was one thing, he could go no further there, Tennessee after just two years would be something else.  FORMER DUKE LAX PLAYER WAS KILLED IN IRAQ: Obviously, the Duke lacrosse program has taken it over the last year or so, and for good reason. But then there is the story of Jimmy Regan, who played at Duke from 1999-2002. Turning down lucrative civilian honors to follow a military calling, Regan became a U.S. Army Ranger and served double tours of duty in both Afghanistan and Iraq, earning a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart and several other medals. Regan died in battle on February 9 when his vehicle was struck by an explosive in northern Iraq. Regan is the second former Duke student-athlete to die in Iraq. Marine Lt. Matthew Lynch, a swimmer and baseball player at the school, was killed in 2004.CHRIS HENRY BACK IN THE BLOTTER NEWS!!! Dude ALMOST made it three months through the NFL off-season without getting popped for something. But now Henry has been cited by Cincinnati police on three traffic charges including driving with a suspended license. Henry also was ticketed for an improper turn and seat belt violation. His vehicle was also impounded, and Henry needed a C-note to retrieve the rig. Court action is pending. Now longer the league's #1 trouble poster child, but this re-establishes Chris as a solid #2 over that defensive back in Tennessee.  GOODALL TO MEET WITH PACMAN NEXT WEEK: Adam Jones will meet with Roger Goodell next week to discuss the cornerback's constant run-ins with the law. Goodell is unlikely to make any decision on a suspension or fine at that time, because the commissioner's new player conduct policy has not been completed.SEMIN ANALYSIS, TEAMMATES DROP GLOVES IN PRACTICE: Washington Capitals sniper Alexander Semin (ha, ha, I just said Semin) and Bryan Muir dropped their gloves and exchanged punches toward the end of a practice. The scrap began after Muir checked Semin in the corner during a drill. Tough guy Donald Brashear ends up breaking up the fray, and it was Muir who actually emerged with a bloody nose. So when's the last time you've heard of a Russian roughing up someone in a scrap, but someone tell him that we're talking about PRACTICE. BETTMAN TO TAKE CLOSER LOOK AT FIGHTING: NHL commissioner Gary Bettman says fighting is part of hockey and believes some people have been 'running off a little too fast on this topic', referring to the recent epidemic of players getting hurt in fights. The biggest concern is the ever increasing size of hockey’s enforcers. A generation ago, Montreal’s Chris Nilan was 6’ 200 lb, now an enforcer such as Ottawa’s Brian McGrattan checks in at 6’5” 250. The punches carry a little more weight these days. ALASKAN ASSASSIN DELIVERS THE MAIL - JAZZ NO LONGER THE RAZZ: Carlos Boozer does great Karl Malone impersonation, dropping a career-high 41 points along with 16 rebounds to help the Jazz rally to a 103-97 win. The point output was the most for any Utah player since Malone in 2000, and the win also clinches a playoff spot for the Jazz, the franchises first in the post Malone/Stockton era. RUTGERS WOMEN CLIP ASU - HEADS TO FINAL FOUR: On the heels of the football teams 2006 success, the woman's basketball program makes second Final Four in school history, as the #4 seeded Knights take down Arizona St. 64-45. SERENA WILLIAMS DEALS WITH RACIST HECKLER DURING MATCH: Serena Williams says a heckler bothered her throughout a third-round match at a tournament in Florida, making at least one racist remark before he was finally ejected. According to Serena, the man said 'Hit the net like any (black person) would.' Fans confirmed that the man indeed was making racist comments and was removed by security. Serena says that while she shouldn't let the incident bother her, that she also is not going to stand for it.  CBC KEEPS HNIC PACKAGE THROUGH 2014: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation announces new six-year deal for Hockey Night in Canada, a package that promises to take the Saturday night staple into the multi-media realm. The agreement includes new media rights, with plans in the works for free streaming of all telecasts live and on-demand on CBC's website (will people in the U.S. be able to see it???). One change from the present package involves showing other Canadian-based NHL teams besides the Maple Leafs and Canadiens. It's said that the Leafs will have a maximum of 23 games shown, while Montreal will have a cap of 17 games. The online component will allow viewers to access a different game than might be available on regular TV in their market. The HNIC series is currently in it's 54th season, the longest running show on Canadian television.PACKERS TABBED FOR THANKSGIVING GAME: Spring just arrives and we're already talking about fall. The Packers will travel to Detroit for Thanksgiving, later that day the Jets play in Dallas and Indianapolis will be in Atlanta (will we have the NFL Network by then???). As Super Bowl Champions, the Colts have also been tabbed for the opening Thursday night game, with the Saints providing the opposition. Two of the featured Sunday games for Week 1 include the Bears at San Diego, as well as the Giants at Dallas in the Sunday night game. For the second consecutive season, there will be two Monday night games in Week 1, Baltimore at Cincinnati followed by Arizona at San Francisco. Previously the league announced that the Giants will play Miami in London's Wembley Stadium on October 28, the Dolphins are designated as the home team in that game - and that will no doubt be the coldest 'home game' in Dolphins history. The rest of the NFL 2007 schedule is expected to be unveiled in the next couple of weeks.  AT&T WANTS LOGO ON BURTON CAR NOW: Perhaps seeing the phased-out Cingular logo in a down-to-the-wire finish at Bristol was too much for the AT&T folks, who have asked for a preliminary injunction in a Georgia court that would allow the company to immediately put its logos on the #31 car. Says an AT&T spokesman, 'We must bring this issue to resolution. The season is well underway and so are our rebranding efforts. This filing is a logical next step for us in the process, and one we must pursue so that we can simply move forward with our paint scheme – something our agreement with NASCAR allows us to do.' Not that AT&T is being ignored in the NASCAR world, considering how many times we are told on the telecasts that Cingular is not the 'new AT&T'GHOSTS CLOSING IN ON PACMAN: Considering Pacman Jones an instigator in last month's Vegas incident, police seek felony charge of coercion as well as misdemeanor threat and battery charges. EX-COLT FACES DRUG, GUN CHARGES: Free-agent defensive back Dexter Reid has been arrested on gun and drug charges after being pulled over at 4:30 AM on Sunday in Virginia Beach. While officers were investigating Reid's black 2004 GMC SUV, they found a handgun and marijuana in the vehicle, Reid was charged with first-offense possession of a concealed weapon and felony possession of marijuana. The University of North Carolina product was drafted by the Patriots in 2004 and earned a Super Bowl rings with the Colts this past season, Indianapolis elected not to resign him though.  CAROLINA COLLAPSE 'HISTORIC': Had Georgetown on the ropes, until missing 22 of final 23 shots. ALL THINGS MUST COME TO AN END - THEES-MAN OUT AT MNF: The Worldwide Sports leader is shaking things up again, as Theisman's 20-year run as an ESPN analyst for NFL games has end as the network announces he will be replaced by longtime studio analyst Ron Jaworski, who has drawn raves for years for his work on Edge NFL matchup and other shows.. ESPN says Theisman will be offered another analyst job within the organization. Don't know how he feels about reuniting with McGuire on USC v. Cal games...STUDENT WHO PLAYED UNC MASCOT DEAD: Jason Ray, a 21-year old North Carolina student who performed as a mascot for the Tar Heels basketball team, has died three days after being gravely injured when struck from behind by a SUV while within 200 yards of his hotel walking back from a New Jersey convienence store before Carolina's regional semi-final game. Ray performed as UNC's ram mascot, Rameses. He was weeks away from graduating with a major in business administration and a minor in religion. BO BLACK OFFICALLY TURNING THE CORNER: As you might imagine, Bo is still in a state of confusion and not knowing whether she's in Arizona in Milwaukee, wife of former Brewers manager showed what is no doubt a very good sign in her recovery from a recent stroke last week. When Treblehorn asked her something Bo responded with the middle finger. I have to explain that Bo's kind of a Type A personality. And actually it's so warm in Milwaukee today I'm thinking that I might really be in Zona, or maybe it's San Diego. K-WOOD SETBACK #98: So much for those closing ideas - Kerry Wood's shoulder stiff after getting roughed up in a one-inning stint v. the Angels. This comes after a 12-day layoff with a sore triceps. Get ready for another year of Ryan Dempster trying to close games, we usually know the end of that story.  DALE JARRETT'S THINKING ARBY'S: Dale Jarrett had choice words for Matt Kenseth after getting wrecked by the #17 Arby's Fenway-Roush Ford Fusion early in the Food City 500. Jarrett, the 1999 series champion, was bumped from behind by Kenseth and sent into the wall. The rear wing of his Car of Tomorrow shattered, forcing Jarrett out of the event and a 42nd place finish, not much worse than if he ran the rest of the event. Says DJ afterwards, 'This is not the first time that he's done something like this. Everybody has this great vision that Matt Kenseth is this nice guy on the race track. He is a nice guy away from the track. But he's a rough driver on the race track when he doesn't have to be. We will have a discussion.' Kenseth??? Wrecking other drivers??? Never. But if Jarrett wants revenge he better hurry up, for he's out of the top 35 in points and only has two champion provisionals left.WHAT IF IT WAS PHIL JACKSON WHO GOT CLIPPED??? Actually, I think Bob Woolmer looks a lot like Bill Parcells myself. The cricket world continues to try to explain to America why the Woolmer murder is a big deal on a global scale. One possible long range ramification is that the U.S might suddenly get curiousity about the sport in a Tonya-Nancy sort of way. In addition to the Woolmer death, the cricket World Cup has been highlighted by losing fans in India rioting, and England's vice captain has been stripped of his title after a drinking spree. Cricket's history has been filled with scandal, one of the more notable incidents being when a bowler (pitcher) threw underhanded to a batter so he wouldn't hit a game-winning six (home run) during a one-day 'test' between Australia and New Zeland in 1981. Underhanded pitching today would get greeted with an automatic red card. What?? Was Barry Bonds the batter or something??? He would be right at home in that sport considering all the protection they wear. SPEAKING OF THE DEVIL, BATTER HITS SIX SIXES: South African Herschelle Gibbs hits the maxium six out of the park in one 'over' (at-bat) - here is the video. Just a couple of questions here - do they test for HGH in this sport??? And was Derrick Turnbow pitching batting practice for the opposition??? In all seriousness, it is said that the field they were playing on is a bandbox, but it still takes a 'fair amount of skill' to crank six out of the yard. South Africa ended up winning the game by 221 runs - what if they ever played these things at Coors Field??? AGENT ZERO 'ADMONISHED' OVER $10 'BETS': Gilbert Arenas says he made ten dollar bets with fans during the Wizards loss at Portland this week. On a blog which appeared on NBA.COM, Arenas said he made bets with two fans that he would make the game winning shot, and even got their e-mail addresses so he could pay them off. As you might expect, the Association was not happy and reminded Gilbert that betting, even friendly side bets - are a no-no. Gilbert says it won't happen again.IN THE YEAR 2025... Ozzie Guillen is already looking ahead, and is not looking forward to a 20th year reunion of the 2005 World Series Champs. And when asked about the topic, Oz replied with perhaps one of his best responses yet - 'Those ceremonies. 'Oh, let's bring back those guys from 2005,' we're all crippled and (blanked) up, pushing wheelchairs. I don't need that bull. A bunch of fat guys, another one is broke. 'Hey, where's your ring?' 'Oh, I don't know, I sold that son of a bitch two years ago.'' Come on Oz, you'll be 61 when it happens, you won't even be ready for the old folks home when they hold the 25th anniversity. But I see where he's coming from. Myself, not only do I have to put up with the Brewers 25th pennant anniversary, but I imagine whatever Milwaukee Braves who have not yet cashed out will celebrate the 50th anniversary of their championship. Do something for this generation why don't you... .204: Former Seahawk Jerramy Stevens breaks the Mendoza line with recent BAC reading. |
