More channeling of Peter King. This is fun! Let’s just hope I don’t get something as mind numbingly wrong as I did last time.

• The return of the banana suit! Looks like the Pacers are adding a yellow alternate back to their uni repertoire for next season if this screen shot from NBA Live 08 is accurate. Via UniWatch.
• A very cool book is coming out in the fall about the history of Indy’s foray into major league pro hockey, the Indianapolis Racers of the WHA. Red, White & Blues: A Personal History if Indianapolis Racers Hockey 1974-1979 looks like it could be a very cool read for Indy hockey fans who miss the days of real pro hockey in Indianapolis. God I love that logo and those jerseys. And look at the crowds!  Someday I’m going to find a Racers replica jersey to buy.
• I think hot dogs would taste much better in the bun and without all the lemonade, but hey, congratulations to the new Glutton Champ Joey Chestnut.  USA! USA! USA!
• Wait… the Harlem Globetrotters have a draft?! I would pay money to see Stephen A. Smith call their draft.
• I think I want to see a baseball game with Keith Hernandez and Joe Morgan both in the booth. The resulting black hole of stupidity would destroy half the teams in baseball thus resulting in a trimmed down league and shorter schedule. Win win! We could throw in Ron Santo too. If we’re going to destroy the universe might as well go all the way.
• I think it’s spectacular there is an actual person named Mike Hunt. Is it too much to ask that he make the NFL someday just so I can hear John Madden talking about how “Mike Hunt can cover the entire field. BOOM!”
• It’s Pacers Summer Practice Time. Are you ready for the Jim O’Brien era, Pacers fans? *crickets chirping* Me too!
• I think the Colts got rid of Dominic Rhodes just in time. Ooooooops! Sorry Oakland.
• Apparently that Freddy Adu kid IS pretty good.
• I think the way to get Americans into soccer would be to just change it so goals are worth 6 points and penalty kicks are worth 3.
• Grant Hill signed with the Suns, but ended up with a severe high ankle sprain walking to his car after signing the contract. Estimates put him out of action for 2 months.
• Gone Fishin, too. Jeremy Roenick has decided to hang ‘em up after 18 years in the NHL.  He gets mega bonos points for how he annouced his retirement. Via a text message to a reporter stating “I’m retiring; is that still news?”  Brilliant. Happy trails to the 3rd leading American goal scorer in NHL history.
• I’d LOVE to see relegation put into the NBA. It might actually get me to care about the NBA again. More on this later? Maybe.
