-The NFL Draft will be held this weekend in New York City. Lawrence Sidbury Jr., a defensive end for Richmond last season, has been projected to be drafted as early as the second round, which could make him the first Football Championship Subdivision player taken. … Sidbury is probably just hoping he doesn’t end up with the Lions, the NFL’s version of the FCS.
-The Kansas City Royals hit into six double plays during Tuesday night’s loss against the Cleveland Indians, tying a record in the American League. … Even with a loss, the Royals were happy that they finally set a record for something.
-Montreal Canadiens fans booed during The Star-Spangled Banner before game three of the team’s first-round playoff series against the Boston Bruins. … I guess the fans figure if the 24 American teams in the NHL were gone, they wouldn’t have been swept in the first round.
-Houston Rockets center Dikembe Mutombo said his 18-year career was finished after injuring his knee during a playoff game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night. … Mutombo, who was known for wagging his finger after blocking a shot, could use his fame to pursue a career making anti-drug commercials.
