There is just a ton of sports news out there that has grabbed my attention (in addition to the firing of Marc Crawford)...
I've never thought that smoking weed was all that bad for you, healthwise. But, why is it that most of the people that I knew in school that smoked weed eventually turned out to be stupid. You know the type. If you don't, check this out about Ricky Williams. The former first round pick...NFL rushing champion...drubbed out of the league for an entire year because he likes to toke.
He was in India studying yoga when news of his latest failed test surfaced in February.
It was 30 years ago that Rick Monday saved the American flag from some schmucks that were planning on burning it during a game. Michelle has the photo...and the WaPo has the tribute. The Dodgers plan on honoring Monday with a video tribute of his act.
Monday wouldn't say how much the flag is insured for, but "you'd have to add a lot of zeros. People have offered an outrageous amount of money for it _ not that it's for sale."
Finally...this
CENTRALIA, Ill. -- A tire shop worker who got pinned under a pickup truck is expected to survive thanks to the hustle and muscle of members of the city's high school football team. Ed Marsh of Centralia Expert Tire is hospitalized in serious condition at Saint Louis University Hospital, with injuries to an arm, his back, hip and pelvis. Officials say Marsh was pinned Saturday morning when the pickup fell off a jack. Members of the Centralia High School football team were unloading a truck of tires nearby when they heard a summons for help. They scrambled to Marsh's aid and lifted the truck off of the man so emergency workers could help him.
