Here’s a clear shot from the daily Ice Machine, with crystal blue linkage of stories that will refresh you before you start your day (starting tomorrow, anyway; this is a test run):
- Girls in sports injure differently and more frequently than boys.
- Hosting Super Bowls is a loss leader. Emphasis on the loss.
- Your local sports team probably hates the environment. Proof: fake grass doesn’t even try to be carbon-neutral.
- Thai officials are tired of their athletes pissing away their Olympic bonuses. Solution? A payment plan.
- As high schools have problems funding academics, athletics suffer. You know… the uncool athletics in poor school districts.
- Konstantinov continues to sue everyone within reach for the limo accident that made the former Red Wings star a “vegetable”. (It’s not much of a reach anymore.) This one struck us because this helped us set a date on when we stopped caring about hockey. No, it wasn’t this accident. However, we can’t remember much beyond this event in hockey history. It’s odd to hear the name again and sad to know why.
And here’s another little ditty to test out: let me fill your glass with the Question of the Day.
Much to our chagrin, we heard Joe Morgan admit Sunday night that he owns an iPod and Frank Sinatra’s version of “The Best Is Yet to Come” can be found on it. A quick poll of colleagues agreed this was a frightening proposition. So your Question of the Day (awaiting sponsorship): What do you think is on Joe Morgan’s iPod?
Our initial guesses:
- The sound of bats against baseballs. They have special sounds there and sometimes they just sound special when they hit the ball with the bat hitting the ball against the bat.
- Anything Hank Aaron told him to put on there. Hank Aaron is so great and this one time Hank Aaron said that Hank Aaron could hit a home run with Hank Aaron pitching and Hank Aaron Hank Aaron Hank Aaron.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
