Summary of the Day: June 15, 2006
In a new feature, either Joe or I will summarize some of the important sports stories of the day. At the same time, we will provide our own perspective on each of the stories. Please feel free to point out stories we miss that you might think are important.
And now, some stories from the day:
Ben Roethlisberger issued an apology to his team, his family and his fans today. In his statement, he promised to begin wearing a helmet when riding his motorcycle. While his actions before today are questionable, I am glad he has accepted responsibility and has assumed the role of an example of what not to do. Thank you Ben for acting like a role model in the wake of your accident. Good luck with your recovery.
The Edmonton Oliers managed to win on the road to narrow the Carolina Hurricanes' in the Stanley Cup Finals to three games to two. The Oilers were already the underdog, having entered the playoffs as an eight-seed, before winning only one of the first four games. Personally, I have a problem rooting for a hickey team based in a city below the Mason-Dixon Line, so I have been rooting for Edmonton. Carolina has played very well, and if they win they will have earned it. I would love to see the series get to a seventh game in Raleigh.
Michael Jordan is now part owner and managing member of basketball operations of the Charlotte Bobcats. After an unspectacular tenure at the helm of the Washington Wizards, Jordan gets to run a team in his backyard. The agreement gives his Airness a share of other businesses run by Bobcats owner, Bob Johnson. It should be interesting to see how two very strong willed businessmen work together and whether Jordan can rid himself of the bad taste in his mouth left after his divorce from the Wizards.
