Boxing expert, author and commentator Bert Sugar has passed away. He once ran The Ring magazine with former St. Louis Browns' owner Bill Veeck. Ranking Mike Tyson dead last on his list of "the top 100 boxers of all time," Sugar wrote, "To perplexing questions like 'Why does Hawaii have interstate highways?' and 'Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?' can be added another: 'What the hell happened to boxing kamikaze pilot Mike Tyson ?'". . .Southwest Airlines' Spirit magazine, which contains Brad Herzog's piece "It's how you play the game" about high and low points of sportsmanship. It recounts the University of Colorado football team's 1990 two point win over the Missouri Tigers after mistakenly being awarded a fifth down on the game's final play. Asked afterwards if he'd forfeit the game, Colorado coach Bill McCartney, a former Mizzou player, said no, charging that the Missouri administrators deliberately caused a sloppy, slippery playing field. . .Two St. Louis prelates will reunited in Manhattan next week, according to well-connected Catholic blogger Rocco Palmo. Cardinal Tim Dolan, Palmo tweets, has invited Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia to St. Patrick's to preach on Holy Thursday. Given the scandal in Philly under Rigali, SNAP is upset with the move and accuse Dolan of "rubbing more salt into already deep and still fresh wounds of hundreds of church clergy sex abuse victims and thousands of betrayed Catholics." The group is urging Dolan to replace Rigali with Winona Bishop John Quinn , who, earlier this month warned his flock about a notorious, defrocked serial predator priest, Thomas Adamson who moved back into the area recently (and who was the first child molesting cleric that current Archbishop Robert Carlson had to deal with years ago).
