- This blog is only two days old, but perhaps we should close it down to direct the new SOAP Network series "As Elijah Dukes' World Turns." The oft-troubled Tampa Bay Devils Rays outfielder's saga took another twist on Tuesday, when he, his soon-to-be-ex-wife, and his mother all called in to a local radio show. First, his wife took shots at him. Then, when Dukes heard about it, he called in to defend himself in a 12-minute rant. Then, Dukes' mother Phyllis got her two cents in. And the absolutely bizarre situation took another turn when Dukes' mom admitted to selling cocaine after the radio hosts broached the subject of Elijah's incarcerated father, who went to jail for murdering someone over a busted crack deal. We couldn't make this up.
- More stuff we can't make up. Syracuse's ABA team is no longer the Bullies, thanks to pressure from local leaders. Apparently the name was too violent, and so the team has given in. The team's fans (I don't know how you could have fans if you've never played a single game in your arena) were given a chance to vote, but a popular choice - the Nationals - has been nixed by the NBA (in case that name sounds familiar, we've provided a familiarizer). The team has given fans the option of voting for one of five names (Bullz, Netz, Sentinels, Snowballers and Avalanche) or writing one in themselves. How about the Peacemakers?
