Think this kid will remember this moment?:
I’m sure my co-writer John Paulsen made plenty of those shots in high school. Just ask him…he’ll tell ya.

We love us some Erin Andrews – especially since she was born and raised on American soil. But as SPORTSbyBROOKS.com brings to our attention, Andrews might not hold a candle to England female sportscaster Charlotte Jackson:
Jackson is the hottest, freshest TV sports “presenter” in the U.K. these days, appearing on a midday sports show on something called the Setanta Sports News channel.
Leading up to that prestigious position, she’s had quite an accomplished background, having appearing in the UK series “Catfight” as a participant, covering the Olympics for Al-Jazeera (what the?) and, according to Wikipedia, serving “also as a singer and a backing vocalist for Tony Christie for a TV appearance for his hit, “‘Is this the Way to Amarillo.‘”
Talk about a trailblazer. Linda Cohn would be so proud!
I think it’s only fair that England allows Charlotte to come over to the US so that she can broaden her horizons. I’m thinking it would be great for her career and by no means am I suggesting that she comes to America solely for our viewing pleasure entertainment.
A 21-year-old man was taken to hospital after he fell about 25 feet from the upper deck of Scotiabank Place during the second intermission of the Ottawa Senators’ victory over the Atlanta Thrashers on Wednesday night.
According to witnesses, the man sailed headfirst past and over a few stunned onlookers in the rows ahead of his seat before clearing the low railing at the bottom of the third level and falling onto a row of seats in the level immediately below.
Senators president and CEO Roy Mlakar said the man was carrying two beers when he stumbled over a purse.
“He was not inebriated,” said Mlakar, who confirmed that the man had been treated on the scene for lacerations and that he was taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure.
What a disaster. The guy probably spent upwards of $80 on the ticket, $25 for parking, another $17 on the beers and then some chick leaves her purse out in the middle of the row and my man flies off the upper deck. He might not have been inebriated at the time, but he sure as hell probably had a beer or two after the fact.
In the wake of Plaxico Burress accidentally shooting himself in the leg, RealClearSports.com ranks the top 10 dumbest self-inflicted injuries.
#4 Glenallen Hill
Glenallen Hill is nicknamed “Spiderman” but not because he swings through the air or is a fan of the comic. The outfielder — who has coincidentally played for eight different teams — got his nickname from an incident spurred on by his significant arachnophobia. Early in his career while with the Blue Jays Hill was having a violent nightmare about spiders. Hill, while still asleep tried to escape from the phantom nightmare spiders fell into a glass table. This nightmare gave Hill cuts on his toes and elbows, carpet burns on his knees, landed him on the 15-day DL and gave him his nickname.#3 Joel Zumaya
Detroit Tigers fireballer Joel Zumaya was unavailable for the 2006 ALCS due to a sore wrist, not an uncommon injury for a pitcher. But Zumaya wouldn’t be on this list if he suffered the injury in anything but a bizarre way.Zumaya’s sore wrist was the result of playing too much Guitar Hero, the popular music-based video game on his Playstation 2. In fact, the Tigers were so concerned about his obsession that, to ensure that he would be ready for the World Series, they explicitly required him to stop playing.
#2 Bill Gramatica
Bill Gramatica’s injury was a perfect storm of egregiousness. An early field goal. The first points of the game. It wasn’t a turning point. There was no tackle. No cheap shot. No flag. Just a dumb exuberant little kicker and a torn ACL.After putting the Cardinals up 3-0 in the first quarter in a 2001 game against the Giants, Gramatica jumped wildly into the air only to end his season upon returning to the ground.
Apparently, the Giants momentarily forgot about the scene that became a instant favorite on Sports Center — or perhaps they confused Bill with his older brother Martin. In 2004, they signed Bill Gramatica in the pre-season contract only to cut him a few weeks later.
Plax took the number one spot for those wondering.
I hate to say an injury was well-deserved, but something had to stop the elf-like Gramatica brothers from celebrating 25-yard field goals like they just won the Super Bowl.
Lifelong Boston Red Sox fan? Why not be incased in a BoSox logo when you’re sleeping six-feet under, too?
Yes, the officially licensed Red Sox casket has arrived. The team logo is embroidered on the soft velvet of the lining and pillow, each of which is as white as a home uniform on Opening Day. The logo also appears on the exterior of the casket, which is made of high-gloss 18-gauge steel accented with baseball bat-style wood, tassels, and polished chrome – more Cadillac than bullpen car, headed for the hereafter.
“It’s really a beautiful thing,” said Dan Biggins, 28, co-director of Magoun-Biggins Funeral Home in Rockland, which recently took delivery of the first Sox casket, serial number 0001. “It’s really neat.”
“That’s very respectable, especially up against the Vatican,” said Clint Mytych, 27, founder and president of Eternal Image. Through the end of the company’s fiscal second quarter in 2008, about 330 Yankees urns had been sold, and about 325 for the Sox, Mytych said.
It’s a really beautiful thing? There are some sick people in this world.
I come from a family that has both Yankee and Red Sox supporters in it. Knowing some of my family members, they would probably try to bury the Red Sox fans in a Yankee casket just to piss them off in the afterlife.
