-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.
