The 10 Spot: June 5, 2006

1. The FCC has upheld its $550,000 fine of CBS for the glimpse of Janet Jackson's breast during the halftime show of Super Bowl XXVIII. Thus the Jackson incident remains history's second most costly boob, next to FEMA's Michael Brown

2. Several Rockies contend that last week's USA Today story that portrayed the team as a Christian organization was overblown. Pat Robertson was so upset at the backtracking that he threatened to leg-press the entire roster.

3. In a strange scene on Saturday during the PGA's Memorial, the cup on the 6th green had to be moved because someone had defecated in the hole overnight. Authorities are still trying to find whom to penalize for the illegal drop.

4. Brewers announcer Bob Uecker has filed a restraining order against a woman whom he says has been stalking him. In court papers, Uecker alleged that she's juuuust a bit out of her mind.

5. Former gymnasts Nadia Comaneci and Bart Connor are the proud parents of an infant son. The overjoyed couple is reportedly turning cartwheels. The delivery room created a poster proclaiming the boy a "perfect 10," but he only received a 9.6 from the Russian judge.

6. How do voodoo: Togbui Assibogo Gnagblondjro III, the chief voodoo priest of Togo, says that the spirits have revealed to him that his nation will beat Korea and France in their World Cup group to advance to the second round. "We'll be performing miracles all over the pitch," says Gnagblondjro, who we like to imagine goes by Blondie to his friends. "The ancestral spirits say that Togo will go far in this World Cup." Bettors should know that the ever-humble Blondie cautions that he won't be able to predict the precise scores until two days before each match. Evidently, these spirits work in mysterious ways.

7. 10 Spot updates: Holy cow! The FBI has captured the Harry Caray bandit, whom we mentioned in an early April edition. The robber who wore oversized glasses and a baseball cap -- thus the nickname -- while allegedly hitting banks in several Chicago suburbs and one in Indiana was done in by a fingerprint left on a note he handed to a teller. It now seems that the next ball game the Harry Caray bandit will be taken out to will be in the prison yard. Last week in this space we also detailed a bar fracas in New Zealand in which a prominent rugby player bopped a teammate over the head with a women's handbag, drawing much-ridiculed tears from the latter. Now the handbag is up for auction on a New Zealand Internet site, with bidding having reached about $10,000 by the weekend. The winning bidder will also receive the mobile phone that was smashed on All Black member Chris Masoe's head in the purse-pounding.

8. Ohio University football coach Frank Solich, formerly at Nebraska, is fighting his drunken driving conviction from last November because his lawyer says that the "date rape" drug GHB was in his system. Of course, because everyone's dying to get the secrets to that newfangled wishbone offense.

9. Iowa quarterback Drew Tate won a new Dodge worth $25,000 by making a hole in one at a golf tournament last Friday but couldn't accept the vehicle due to NCAA rules. In a related story, the wheels-less Tate announced plans to transfer to Ohio State

10. Reader submission: This one came too late for last week's deadline, but we couldn't keep this gem from Janice of Palo Alto, Calif., to ourselves: " Kansas City is now on pace for about 40 wins. This might be the worst-looking Royals team since Charles and Camilla."
