Alex Zhamnov scored his first goal for the Flyers since he was traded. Of course, he scored on the Hawks. It should be a point well taken, but really, the Hawks just gave it away.
2. Hopes not dashed
Dwain Chambers, Britain’s premier sprinter, was suspended from Olympic competition for life after testing positive for THG. The good news is he can sign with any major-league team.
3. NL Geritol division
Nolan Ryan is back with the Astros after agreeing to a five-year deal. No, he’s not going to pitch. He’s more likely to throw out his back than a backdoor slider.
4. Take Tiger with that No. 1 seed
Have you filled out your brackets for the Accenture Match Play Championship? You can never get enough practice before the NCAA tourney.
5. And the cartoons
Saw that a kid was suspended three days for bringing Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue to school. That punishment was kinda rough, especially since he only got it for the articles.
SIXTHMAN
6. Over/underdone
ESPN is making “Hustle,” a movie about Pete Rose’s gambling. The early line says don’t expect much.
