For The Record

Undergone
By Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, surgery for a broken jaw, broken nose and other facial injuries, after he was injured in a motorcycle accident (above) on Monday. Roethlisberger, 24, who last season became the youngest QB to win a Super Bowl, was riding in downtown Pittsburgh on Monday morning when he collided at an intersection with a sedan, hitting its front fender; a pool of blood could be seen on the pavement as police investigated. The driver of the car was unhurt. Roethlisberger (inset) was reportedly not wearing a helmet, which is not against Pennsylvania law and is in keeping with statements he's made in the past. He doesn't like wearing a helmet, a stance he refused to alter last year when Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher lectured him about riding unprotected. "He talked about being a risk-taker, and I'm not really a risk-taker," Roethlisberger said at the time. "I'll just continue to be careful."

Won
By Notre Dame safety Tommy Zbikowski, his professional boxing debut, with a first-round knockout of Robert Bell at Madison Square Garden last Saturday. Zbikowski, 21, of Arlington Heights, Ill., pocketed $25,000 for beating the 32-year-old Bell (2--2), who hit the canvas for good just 49 seconds into the fight. Zbikowski, a third-team All-America last year who will return to Notre Dame for his senior year this fall, is allowed to compete as a pro in one sport and retain his NCAA eligibility in another as long as he doesn't accept advertising or endorsement money. "I worked hard the last six, seven weeks," he said. "I wanted to prove that I was more than just a football player."

Indicted
For conspiring to defraud the United Hockey League, James Galante, owner of the minor league Danbury Trashers. The indictments--former Trashers coach J. Todd Stirling was also charged--were handed down as part of a larger investigation into organized-crime influence in Connecticut's trash-hauling industry. Galante, 53, who owns several waste-disposal companies in the state, is accused of violating the UHL's salary cap by giving five players or their wives no-show jobs at his firms; with those improper payments, the Trashers' 2004--05 payroll was nearly $750,000. (The UHL salary cap is $275,000.) Prosecutors did not identify the players, but the Associated Press reported that one is Brent Gretzky, 34, the brother of Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky. Stirling, 33, the son of former Islanders coach Steve Stirling, was charged with wire fraud and could face 120 years in prison.

Won
By U.S. cyclist Levi Leipheimer (above), the Dauphin� Lib�r�, one of the final tune-ups before next month's Tour de France. The 32-year-old from Butte, Mont., is the first American to win the Dauphin�, a seven-stage, 680-mile grind that ended in Grenoble, France, on Sunday, since Lance Armstrong in 2003. Leipheimer is a former teammate of Armstrong's--they rode on the U.S. Postal Service team from 2000 to '01--and he is one of the favorites to replace the Texan as the U.S.'s top hope in the Tour de France. ( Floyd Landis, who has won three races this year and finished 60th in the Dauphin�, is another favorite.) "With this win, I'll be able to take it easier in June and come to the [Tour] fresher," Leipheimer said. "It's up to the others to work."

Tied
By Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell, the 100-meter world record he shares with the U.S.'s Justin Gatlin. Powell (below), who set the mark of 9.77 seconds in June 2005, ran the same time at the British Grand Prix in Gateshead, England, on Sunday. Gatlin tied the record last month and had been scheduled to run at Gateshead, but he withdrew because his agent said Gatlin's contract didn't cover a head-to-head race against Powell. Last week the two runners announced they will compete against each other at the London Grand Prix on July 28.

Sponsored
By Bridge Publications, the publishing arm of the Church of Scientology, a car in the Dodge Weekly Series, a low-level NASCAR circuit. Bridge, which publishes Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's best-selling Dianetics, began sponsoring the number 27 Ford driven by Kenton Gray last month. (DIANETICS is painted on the hood of his car.) "Through Dianetics I've handled stress and increased my performance and ability to compete--both on the track and in life," said Gray, 35. NASCAR officials have no objections to mixing religion and racing. "We would step in ... if we deemed it to be in bad taste or bad for the sport," said spokesman Jim Hunter.

Auditioned
For the Nuggets, former Magic, Blazers, Cavaliers and Sonics forward Shawn Kemp, who hasn't played in the NBA since 2003. The 36-year-old, a six-time All-Star whose weight had ballooned to at least 320 pounds when he left the league, pleaded guilty to attempted possession of marijuana last year and served five days of house arrest and a year of probation. After losing 75 pounds, he showed up for Denver's free-agent camp last week and impressed the staff. Guard Greg Buckner told The Denver Post that Kemp "looks good," and coach George Karl suggested that Kemp would be a good fit on the Nuggets' roster. "I stepped to the side a couple years ago to get my focus back to see if I really wanted to put the effort into basketball," said Kemp. "I'm a well-rested 36-year-old."

Unveiled
By the U.S. Postal Service, 39-cent stamps featuring Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle, Roy Campanella, Hank Greenberg and Mel Ott. The new postage is part of the Baseball Sluggers series and was designed by North Carolina artist Lonnie Busch. The stamps will be released on July 15.

Died
At age 70, after a battle with multiple myeloma, Moe Drabowsky, who pitched for eight teams in a 17-year big league career that ended in 1972. Used mostly as a reliever, Drabowsky (above) was hardly a star--he was 88--105 with a career ERA of 3.71--but his antics off the field made him one of his generation's most memorable players. He was a master in the art of clubhouse tomfoolery: hiding pythons in teammates' shoes and lockers, contaminating opposing teams' air-conditioning systems with sneezing powder, slipping goldfish into their watercoolers and making prank calls to their bullpen. "Players seem to be more serious now," he said in 1987. "I would tend to believe they don't have as much fun."
