Morning Sports Shorts 6/17
Now he gives the ball back: 28-year old Matt Starr has decided to give up the now-infamous foul ball that he caught at Sunday's Ranger game. I felt bad at first for the little kid that Starr kneed as he went for the ball, but this story has long jumped the shark. Seriously, 14 years from now, all the memorabilia he's received will be worth enough to pay for a semester of college (or at least the books).
Buffalo ranks 3rd-most tortured: ESPN's countdown of tortured sports cities places Buffalo at No. 3. Tortured? I'd say they're more bitter than tortured. In the Fall of 1999, a good 3-4 months after the Stanley Cup finals, I was visiting a friend, who apparently lived in the same complex as a displaced Buffalo resident. He had a Bills flag flying from his apartment, and in the window there was a huge sign with a simple message: "No Goal!". Let it go, man.
Jackson's return to LA slim: CNNSI's Jack McCallum says that Kurt Rambis might man the Lakers bench next year. I always loved Rambis and his cult following back in the 80s. As for Jackson? Who knows. Most Lakers fans probably worry more about Kobe, who McCallum speculates could head to the Big Apple, fulfilling David Stern's ultimate wet dream. I'd just as soon see him tearing up the Colorado Penal League.
