1. Eating my words
Tommie Harris is back. Tommie, baby, let’s do lunch. Um, on second thought …
2. Gotta be the ears
Hey, if Tommie gets hurt again, basset hounds have a low center of gravity. You know, just saying.
3. How symbolic
Nice trick making your Olympic logo, Beijing. Chicago should try that with a 1930s Tommy Gun.
4. I got it, I got it … I don’t got it
I’m sure the Barry Bonds haters were disgusted when he moved closer to the home-run record, but no one would think he’s using steroids if they watched him play defense.
5. … and hug ’em and pet ’em and squeeze ’em …
Radio sparring partners Dan Patrick and Reggie Miller actually are growing on me. Reggie to Dan is like together like Lenny to George, or Pinky to the Brain.
6. Ba-dump bump!
Anaheim fans set an NHL record by spending an average of $24.70 on team merchandise during Game 5 of the Stanley Cup. Who knew Ducks fans had those kind of bills?
7. Blackhawk fan down!
Chris Chelios signed a deal for what will be his ninth season with Detroit. That means he will have been a Red Wing as long as he was a Blackhawk, and, oh my word, someone call an ambulance for Bag Boy!
8. Say it ain’t sew, Joe
Joe Crede was to have back surgery on Tuesday. Get well, ol’ pal.
9. Excited for Earnhardt
Finally, Dale Jr. is supposed to pick a team Wednesday. And I am supposed to care never.
FIVE THINGS
… places where Dale Earnhardt Jr. belongs
– In first
– With Chip
– With DEI … HAHAHAHA!
– In obscurity
– At the DMV
