He Might Be A Fire Hazard
One of our favorite rituals of the Olympic Games is the selection of the people to carry the Olympic Torch. The best is still O.J. Simpson at the 1984 Summer Games. Bet Peter Ueberroth would have loved to have that one back. It's possible China might have a particularly fun carrier itself....
Barry In Tampa ... What Might Have Been

After being slapped repeatedly across the head and neck for a couple of years, the NHL appears to be crying uncle on the whole nobody-can-watch-their-games-on-television thing....

From the random and bizarre corner of our sports planet, Gas Lamp Ball has photos of Albert Pujols randomly playing Pop-A-Shot at a Chuck-E-Cheese. (We love Chuck-E-Cheese, by the way.)...
