Hockey Pucks and Pooper Scoopers

It didn't smell like it at the Coliseum Sunday afternoon, but the Stingrays invited dogs to their 4 oclock game with Texas. An interesting finish to what was a big weekend for the Rays. Hosted over 8,000 fans(without dogs) for Saturday's game with Dayton. What a first year for President Darren Abbott. Over 10,000 packed the place earlier this season for the biggest crowd since October of 1998. Gotta love the 4pm Sunday start for people with kids....and dogs.

All in all it was a sad weekend for football fans. No games that mean anything or a game to look forward to. No, I don't count the Pro Bowl.

Think Nascar has a problem when 3 cars are under suspicion of cheating before the green flag has dropped on an actual race? For a sport that keeps trying to attract more mainstream sports fans it's not exactly the way to go. I'm sure they'll come down hard on the crew chiefs for Kasey Kahne and Matt Kenseth, but if they really wanted to lay down the law, how about keeping the car and driver out of the 500?

Big game on George Street tonight. The College of Charleston hosting Davidson and of all the below average games that have been on tv this year, this one goes without. The good news? Highlights at 11pm on ABC News 4.
