We are back for other week of the rundown. A few things took place it’s been a busy week in baseball. Check out what been going on in the world of sports.
MLB
Former Detroit Tiger and Chicago White Sox DH/OF Magglio Ordonez retired.
The Texas Rangers signed P Roy Oswalt for a 1 year minor league deal, if Oswalt is pitching for the big league club by July 1st he will be scheduled to make 4 million dollars with a chance to get incentives.
Cleveland Indians DH Travis Hafner is out 4-6 weeks after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.
Philadelphia Phillies P Roy Halladay was placed on the 15 day DL with sore right shoulder.
Los Angeles Dodgers OF Matt Kemp reinjured his left hamstring on Wednesday. It may be hurt worst than the previous injury. Dodger fans are holding their breath right now because hamstring injuries can linger all year.
Milwaukee Brewers C Jonathan Lucroy broke his hand when his wife dropped luggage on it while he was searching under a bed for a sock. Lucroy will be out at least 6 weeks. He was having an All Star year for the Brewers.
On Tuesday Cincinnati Reds 3B Todd Frazier saved a person in a Pittsburgh restaurant from choking on a piece of steak with a Heimlich maneuver. After doing that he raked a double and a triple for 2 rbi’s versus the Pirates.
NFL
The Miami Dolphins will be showcased on the HBO’s Hard Knocks series. I don’t think many people are interested in seeing the fins unless you’re a fins fan or females in their crush over Reggie Bush.
Nick Fairley received a DUI in his hometown, his second arrest during this off-season. Ironfist Goddell will be handing Mr. Fairley a suspension soon.
Terrell Owens who was a player/owner(30%) of the IFL team the Allen Wranglers was released. There is some disputes that Owens didn’t meet all the stipulations of the contract. We all know how this will end.
Brian Banks who was recently cleared of a false rape charge will be trying out for a few NFL teams. Good luck to Mr. Banks, I hope he sticks on to somebodies team. Ms. Gibson should pay for falsely accusing a Mr. Banks, that accusation cost him 6 years of his life he can’t get back. I’ll stop because this is a sensitive subject for me, so I’ll close the ramble with this I’ll pray for both of them.
The NFL will keep the Pro Bowl for the 2013 season.
Boxing
Over the Memorial Day weekend Paul Williams was paralyzed after getting into a motorcycle accident. Williams was heading over his brother’s house to get ready for his other brother’s wedding. Williams is paralyzed from the waist down. He was a very entertaining boxer in one of my current favorites. We at The Front Office send up prayers from Mr. Williams, keep fighting champ.
NBA
The New Orleans Hornets won the NBA Lottery on Wednesday night. What they will receive with that first pick will be Kentucky Wildcats C Anthony Davis. Stern better be on the lookout for MJ that’s all I’m going to say.
NCAA
Connecticut Huskies Forward Roscoe Smith is transferring to UNLV.
Alcorn St. hired Jay Hopson who will be the first non-African American head coach of the Southwestern Athletic Conference. Hopson was the defensive Coordinator for Memphis.
