My morsels for today:
NFL: All-time sacks leader Bruce Smith has been sacked by police in his hometown of Virginia Beach, Va. Smith, 45, was arrested for drunken driving early Friday morning after being stopped for speeding. He was released on bond. Before you feel sorry for the former Buffalo Bills star, you need to know that this is his third arrest for DUI. Charges were dismissed in 1997, and he was acquitted in 2003. Smith was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame earlier this year. Looks like he has some work to do to be a Hall of Famer off the field, as well.
MLB: Ryan Raburn and Brandon Inge of the Detroit Tigers each hit a grand slam home run Friday night in the Tigers’ 14-1 rout of the Oakland Athletics. Hitting two slams in a game hasn’t happened very often in the Tigers’ 109-year history. In fact, this was only the third time. Al Kaline and Ray Boone each hit a grand slam on June 11, 1954 (a little more than two months after I was born) and Jim Northrup hit two himself June 24, 1968.
MLB: What do you think was the most impressive accomplishment last night: The Tigers’ two grand slams, Tampa Bay rallying from a 7-0 fourth-inning deficit to beat the Cleveland Indians 8-7, or Kansas City Royals pitching phenom Zach Greinke beating the Baltimore Orioles 8-1 for his seventh victory? Even though he allowed only one run and four hits in eight innings, Greinke’s ERA went UP to 0.60.
That’s all for now. See you later.
