Dennis Rodman: Looks like that endorsement for Huggies is all yours, bro.
HEADED NORTH
Kevin Tapani threw a complete-game three-hitter as the Cubs whipped the Dodgers 5-0 and moved within a half-game of first place in the NL Central at the time.
Or so CLTV would have us believe.
BASKET CASE
Larry Farmer coached at UCLA from 1981 to ’84. He had the usual top talent the Bruins program attracts. He won exactly nothing of importance.
Now he’s Loyola’s new coach. Loyola fights with UIC for table scraps. This ought to be a hoot.
STUPID-O-METER
Disgraced Golden State guard Latrell Sprewell is suing the NBA for suspending him after his despicable act of choking his coach, threatening to kill him and coming back 20 minutes later to slug him.
Sprewell reportedly wants the $6.4 million in salary he lost, along with another $24 million or so for pain and suffering and whatever.
This is like Charles Manson suing Sharon Tate for being home that night.
KICK BALL
French authorities claim they will jail, fine or deport hooligans who try to disrupt soccer’s World Cup events.
Right after they solve that global warming deal.
DEAD OCTOBER
Author Tom Clancy has withdrawn his bid to purchase the Minnesota Vikings.
Clancy headed a group that hoped to buy the team for a reported $200 million. However, a messy divorce has raised questions of whether Clancy could come up with his $60 million stake and still have enough left over to feed Dennis Green.
RIGHT THIS WAY
Mike Veeck, son of former White Sox owner Bill Veeck, already has plans if he gets to buy the Minnesota Twins.
“I’d have all the ushers be twins,” he said. “I’d have them work in tandem. I’d put in a call for every set of twins in the state. We’d be the only team to have one person escorted to his seat by two people.”
Jeez, you could take care of all of Comiskey with one set of triplets.
