1. Wrestle maniac
Kyle Farnsworth missed action
Wednesday because he was fighting a stomach flu. And after he got word of his three-game suspension, he flipped it and gave it a flying knee drop.
2. Turnabout is conference play
The ACC buckled down and invited Miami, which it really wanted, and Virginia Tech, which it didn’t want. So what do you call it if Tech says “yes” and Miami says “no?” Sweet justice.
3. Bonds market down
What does it mean that Mark McGwire’s 70th home-run ball went for $3.2 million, but Barry Bond’s 73rd went for just $517,500? About $2.68 million in therapy for Barry.
4. Eddie’s hassle
Front office upheaval gave Washington Wizards coach Eddie Jordan just 10 days to prepare for the NBA draft. If your name is Jordan, just stay out of D.C.
5. Memory fast lane
Former Buffalo Bills running back
Thurman Thomas has started his own motorsports team. Thurman, just make sure your drivers can find their helmets on race day.
SIXTH MAN
6. Ranger, Texas walker
Juan “Mr. No-Trade Clause” Gonzalez would rather tread water with Texas than contend in Montreal. He was sent to Detroit in ’99, so he’s been burned before.
