...split end; they just call up a player from their Boston College farm team to replace him. Same thing for basketball. Bill Walton gets hurt? No need to invent a stiff like Greg Kite--the Celtics just call up Rony Seikaly from the Big East League and have him fill in for a few games. Then send him back to Syracuse when Walton recovers...
Most people hate to fill out an income tax return; Tommy Robinson must be able to do it in his sleep. IRS investigators say Robinson, a $170-a-week maintenance man in West Palm Beach, Fla., filed 350 fraudulent tax returns this year, claiming $1.5 million in refunds, one of the largest such scams ever uncovered by the IRS.

Some theaters aren't fit to accommodate any show. Burns is still muttering about one theater where the local crew chief, a plumber, counterbalanced 800-lb. light pipes and pieces of overhead scenery...
...coaches and clubhouse liaisons. In an infamous 1978 speech, former Senators Owner and lifelong Baseball Man Calvin Griffith told Minnesotans that he moved the team from Washington "when I found out you only had 15,000 blacks here. Black people don't go to ball games, but they'll fill up a rasslin' ring and put up such a chant, it'll scare you to death." Baseball ought to be scared to death...
