My morsels for today:
NBA: Now that Dave Bing has been elected mayor of Detroit, he becomes the second ex-NBA star to hold the top elected position in a major city. Kevin Johnson is mayor of Sacramento, Calif. Is it a coincidence that both guys were guards during their playing days? Are there any current NBA players who are mayoral material? I’m not sure, but I know who would love to be a city’s police chief -- Shaq. That will happen someday.
NBA: Have we seen the last of Rasheed Wallace? At age 34, Sheed’s skills have diminished so much that they can’t camouflage his propensity for technical fouls and tendency to lose focus during a game. There’s a report that Wallace is looking for an $8 million contract for next season (he made $13 million from the Detroit Pistons this year.) It’s doubtful any team would be willing to spend that kind of the money on the 14-year veteran.
MLB: The feel good story of the day Tuesday took place at Wrigley Field, where feeling good is usually associated with adult beverages. Bobby Scales made his major league debut for the Chicago Cubs against reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants and got his first big league hit, a single in the fifth inning. Scales has played in the minors for 11 seasons. His 3,303 at-bats have come with eight teams in four organizations. Talk about perseverance and playing for the love of the game. Way to go, Bobby.
NFL: I promised myself I wouldn’t write about Brett Favre, but I couldn’t help it. C’mon, admit it. You’d love to see Favre play at Green Bay wearing No. 4 for the Minnesota Vikings, wouldn’t you?
See you Thursday!
