This Guy Takes Stunt at Absolute Face Value

Generally, showboating is not a good idea. Consider what happened to Nate Campbell in his super-featherweight fight against Robbie “Bomber” Peden on Sunday in the Pechanga Resort at Temecula.

Campbell, leading on two of the three judges’ cards in the fifth round, dropped his gloves and stuck out his chin, mocking Peden.

Peden delivered one power-puff jab as a way of saying, “Come on, let’s fight.” But Campbell did it again -- and got knocked out with a left hook.

“You see fighters do that and you say, ‘Hit him,’ ” said Dan Goossen, who promoted the fight. “This was one time when it actually happened.”

Trivia time: What former Saint Joseph’s coach also coached in the NBA and won a title?

It’s only money: Shane Mosley blew a $10-million payday for a future fight against Felix Trinidad when he lost to Winky Wright on Saturday night.

Said Mychal Thompson on XTRA: “Who’s his business advisor, Howard Dean?”

Getting even: Donald Trump threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the New York Yankees’ spring training game against the Houston Astros at Tampa, Fla., Friday night.

According to the Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., someone in the crowd who obviously had seen Trump on the reality TV show, “The Apprentice,” yelled, “You’re fired!”

Pricey hobby: The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation is auctioning off a new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren for charity today at Beverly Hills Mercedes-Benz. Morning Briefing noted Sunday that when a similar auction was held in New York, the car went for $2.1 million.

That’s the highest price paid for a new car, but not even close when talking about vintage cars. Former Detroit Tiger owner Tom Monaghan paid $8.1 million for a vintage Bugatti Royal in 1986, and a British collector topped that by paying $9.86 million for a Bugatti Royal in 1987.

A pro’s nightmare: Somewhat lost among all the college basketball this weekend was what happened to Carl Pettersson on Saturday on the 16th hole of the Honda Classic.

Leading the tournament at the time, he five-putted from 40 feet and ended up shooting a 76.

He shot a 75 on Sunday to finish in a tie for 13th.

Trivia answer: Jack Ramsay, who coached at his alma mater from 1955 to 1966. In the NBA, he coached Philadelphia (1968-72), Buffalo (1972-76), Portland (1976-86) and Indiana (1986-87). He won a title with Portland in 1977.

And finally: The Dallas Cowboys, in a trade with the Houston Texans, acquired quarterback Drew Henson, who went back to football after a failed baseball career.

The Cowboys also have Quincy Carter and Chad Hutchinson, quarterbacks who returned to football after struggling in the minors.

Said KFWB’s Bret Lewis: “It’s being said in the Dallas area that the Cowboys are getting close to having more bad baseball players than the Texas Rangers.”
