They Wish Parents Had Used Spell Check

Writing about odd names in college football, Jeff Miller offered the Miami Herald’s All-Typo team: Linebacker Dwright Jackson of Florida, tight end Redgie Arden of Ohio State, cornerback Jhermaine McAroy of Florida State, linebacker Jamahl Cochran of Maryland and defensive end Alax Carrier of Kansas State.

Added Miller: “Can we just admit the obvious? Maybe Mom or Dad messed up? These aren’t first names, these are first drafts. You’re supposed to go back and fix the mistakes before making everything official.”

Trivia time: When UCLA was on its way to its record-setting 88-game winning streak in men’s basketball, what team did the Bruins beat for win No. 61, which broke the University of San Francisco’s record of 60 wins in a row?

Strike up the ban: From Jay Leno: “A Colorado judge banned cameras from the courtroom. In a related story, a judge in Cincinnati has banned TV cameras from all Bengal games.”

More Leno: It has been reported that Mike Tyson may be getting his own reality show.

Leno: “It’s going to be called, ‘Joe Used to Be a Millionaire.’ ”

Ouch: From Mark Kiszla in the Denver Post: “The television camera adds 10 pounds. Too bad the camera can’t also add 10 IQ points to Lisa Guerrero.”

Bear blues: “Did you ever think you’d see a year where Chicago’s hopes for baseball might last longer into the fall than for football?” wrote Ron Rapoport of the Chicago Sun-Times.

From Mike Downey of the Chicago Tribune: “The only thing [the Bears] did right all day was answer correctly when the referee asked, ‘Heads or tails?’ ”

The mean room: Terry Bradshaw and Frank Caliendo, Jimmy Kimmel’s replacement, were both in the green room after Sunday’s edition of “Fox NFL Sunday.”

Caliendo, who was with his bride of one month, Michele, called out to Bradshaw, “Terry, I’d like you to meet my wife.”

Bradshaw: “I met her yesterday.”

Caliendo: “No, I don’t think you did.”

Bradshaw: “Then who was that woman you were with yesterday?”

More Caliendo: The 29-year-old, baby-faced comedian did an array of impersonations on Sunday’s show. He first started doing impersonations for friends while a student at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee.

“They’d say I was pretty good,” he said. “But then they say, ‘Where is that ever going to take you?’ ”

Trivia answer: Notre Dame.

And finally: A $48-million sports museum, scheduled to open in New York in the spring of 2005, will be the first to showcase all sports.
