Like Janet Jackson, Prince has been known to show some unmentionables during a performance. AP
	MAILBAG Have a question or opinion for Pete? He might answer/address it in his mailbag. Your name: Your e-mail address: Your home town: Enter your question:

1. According to an Internet report, Prince will be the halftime entertainment at the next Super Bowl. That will mark the most purple at the big game since Fran Tarkenton was still playing.

2. English horse racing officials are investigating an incident in which a jockey was caught on a TV replay head-butting his horse. So far, the horse is denying he called the jockey a "tiny terrorist."

3. So has "pulling a Zidane" officially entered the sports lexicon? It certainly has in England, where London's Evening Standard described jockey Paul O'Neill's head-butt of City Affair with the headline: "Angry jockey does a Zidane to his horse." (As a side note, are all athletes named Paul O'Neill hotheads? At least the former baseball player usually tossed his batting helmet to the ground rather than used it as a battering ram.) Is there an American athlete whose name could be used to so clearly and understandably describe a particular action? Presumably a basketball player who calls a timeout he doesn't have has "pulled a Webber," but Chris Webber might not be so synonymous with that action that it could fly in a headline. And will "pulling a Zidane" have any legs as an expression Stateside?

4. Donald Trump reportedly told a Chicago radio station that he might be interested in buying the Cubs. Please insert your own Dusty Baker "You're fired!" joke here.

5. Here's a tip for those traveling with forged passports: Please don't commit a sports fan's faux pas. That's what did in a Senegalese man who recently tried to enter Cyprus. The man was traveling with a fake French passport but aroused suspicion at a border checkpoint by wearing an English national-team soccer shirt. Said a police source, "Being a football fan, the officer found it highly unlikely that a Frenchman would want to wear an England football jersey." Further investigation discovered that the document was forged, and the man was remanded to custody for six days pending further inquiries. If only he had thought of proving that he was a true French footy fan by pulling a Zidane on the border guard.

6. The Nationals drew 35,422 to Friday night's game against the Cubs, which was dubbed a "grand reopening" of RFK Stadium. Unfortunately, an estimated 3,500 were simply rival scouts there to see Alfonso Soriano.

7. Shawn Kemp, who hopes to make a comeback, was arrested and charged over the weekend with possession of marijuana. The 36-year-old says the arrest proves he's ready to return to the NBA.

8. Deal or no deal: It's going to be an interesting few weeks on eBay. First, eBay and Seattle Internet startup company Mpire are cohosting a 10-day auction that kicked off on Monday for Barry Bonds' 715th home run ball. That's the one that fan Andrew Morbitzer snagged when he was in line for beer and peanuts. Experts say the ball could fetch as much as $300,000. Meanwhile, the Sydney, Australia-based Comanchero Motorcycle Club is auctioning a day in the life of a biker. The winner will ride Harleys with the gang, including a visit to the scene of one of Australia's bloodiest biker wars, known as the Milperra Massacre, that left six dead. Don't worry, it's for a good cause -- half the money raised will go to a children's hospital. Finally, a truly unique find might be popping up soon. Newly minted Tour de France champ Floyd Landis told CBS' Early Show on Monday that if he indeed needs a hip replacement, he will sell the old bone on eBay. That's got to be worth more than, say, Luis Gonzalez's gum.

9. The Chicago Park District has sued the Bears for requiring pat-downs of fans at Soldier Field. The Park District says it's unconstitutional to lay hands on the fans while Steve Smith is allowed to roam untouched.

10. Idle thought: How come whenever a hitter fouls one straight back to the backstop, the analyst says something like, "He was right on that one" or "He just missed that pitch"? What does that mean? The batter barely made contact with the pitch. The only respect in which he was conceivably "right on" was his timing -- i.e., he had caught up with a fastball or stayed back on a breaking or offspeed pitch. If he had made better contact, presumably, the ball would have headed up the middle. Fine.

But how come if a batter hits a pop-up directly overhead, for either the catcher or the pitcher to handle, nobody ever says, "Oooh, he was right on that one!" Instead, it's simply (and correctly) viewed as a meek pop-up. But wasn't his timing just as "right on" as with the foul ball straight back? And didn't he actually make better contact on the fair pop-up than one in which the bat simply nicks the ball on its way to the backstop? Please, readers, tell me where I'm wrong. Because if there's one thing I've learned in writing the 10 Spot, it's that I'm usually wrong.
