The edge
In case you're looking for one more trash sport to follow — and who isn't? — you're in luck.
Sunday in Las Vegas, David McGill of Omaha won the USA Rock, Paper, Scissors League championship.
Yes, it's the same game you played as a kid.
About 250 participants competed for $50,000 in prize money.
Sources say Jazz GM Kevin O'Connor was there, too, looking for pointers on how to choose draft picks.
Hard time
Weird moment, last week, when a fan charged onto the Delta Center court and danced during the Jazz-Spurs game.
He was taken to the county jail and banned from attending games for one year.
The cops told him if he pulls that stunt again he could be looking at five-to-life.
That would be attending every Jazz game, five years to life.
Street life
Golfer Tom Lehman was on his way to the Augusta airport this past Tuesday when someone drove past and fired a bullet into a Cadillac Escalade he was driving.
This just in: Hollywood is already working on a movie about the jagged-edge world of professional golf, called "Boyz N the Clubhouse."
Juiced
CNBC aired an episode of "The Big Idea," last month, in which host Donny Deutsch grilled Jose Canseco about steroids.
Canseco is the former player whose book "Juiced," claimed numerous major leaguers, including himself, used steroids. On the show, he called his book "a historical document for centuries to come."
Yeah, who needs the Magna Carta, anyway?
Canseco also mentioned on the show that he was "an individual who was at one time the best athlete in the world."
Which raises the obvious question: Was it only steroids he was taking?.
Slip-sliding away
Jim Shea, the 2002 Olympic medal-winning skeleton slider, recently dropped plans to run for the Utah Legislature.
Shea voted in a 2003 election in Lake Placid, N.Y., thus rendering himself ineligible to run for office in Utah this year.
On the bright side, he's still eligible for the Gorgoza Park Tubing Festival.
Even-steven
British soccer star David Beckham has admitted to a form of obsessive compulsive disorder.
His wife was quoted saying Beckham insists on three refrigerators: one for food, another for drinks and a third for salads. But, she said, in the drinks fridge, "if there are three cans of Diet Pepsi, he'd throw one away because it's uneven."
So don't even think of beating him 3-0 in soccer.
