Fan Dodges Home Run At Arizona Diamondbacks Game, Female Companion Hit In The Face

A fan at an Arizona Diamondbacks game Tuesday darted away from a home run ball, which struck his female companion in the face. Video of the incident shows the woman leaping out of her chair and holding her face in her hands, but she doesn't appear seriously injured. "Nice going, boyfriend," a television announcer said as he watched the replay of the homer, belted by the St. Louis Cardinals' Pete Kozma.Watch as the man scurries away from the ball after realizing catching it with his bare hands is probably going to hurt. His cowardice causes the woman to get hit in her upper body. Thankfully, she appeared to be fine. To his (minimal) credit, the man immediately comes to the aid of the woman and doesn't make a play to retrieve the home run ball he initially avoided. That may be his only saving grace when they watch that replay together as she ices her shoulder.

Rutgers Basketball Coach Mike Rice's Behavior Under Review In Wake Of Video

NEWARK, N.J. — Rutgers said it would reconsider its decision to retain basketball coach Mike Rice after a videotape aired showing him shoving, grabbing and throwing balls at players in practice and using gay slurs during practice.The videotape, broadcast Tuesday on ESPN, prompted scores of outraged social media comments as well as sharp criticism from Gov. Chris Christie and NBA star LeBron James. The head of the New Jersey Assembly called for Rice to be fired.The Miami Heat's James weighed in with a tweet: "If my son played for Rutgers or a coach like that he would have some real explaining to do and I'm still gone whoop on him afterwards! C'mon.He said: “In the end, I am not going to look back and say shoulda, woulda. All I can do is figure out going forward the decisions I can make to fix the problem for Rutgers.”In a statement on behalf of Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, his press secretary, Michael Drewniak, said: “Governor Christie saw the video today for the first time, and he is obviously deeply disturbed by the conduct displayed and strongly condemns this behavior. It’s not the type of leadership we should be showing our young people, and clearly there are questions about this behavior that need to be answered by the leaders at Rutgers University.As much as Rice may have benefited from the sensitivity training he received after Pernetti was presented with evidence of behavior that had been taking place over two years, Rice obviously is unable to control his behavior. And somehow he was allowed to subject his players to it.If his actions are acceptable, it’s natural to wonder if Pernetti would allow his own children to play for Rice.Mike Rice’s behavior cannot be excused. Yet Rutgers continues to enable him.

Jimmy Fallon's Duet With Jay Leno: Watch Here

Given all the buzz about Jay Leno's upcoming replacement on “The Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon decided to capitalize on the moment with a hilarious, good-natured song. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” began last night (April 1) with an appropriate April Fool’s Day spoof in which Leno called in for a chat.Jay asked, “Hey, kid. How you holding up,” before declaring, “I’ll live. I’ve been through this before, y’know. Got to admit, I’m a little sick of this.”And then they broke into song, which seemed to suggest that the rumors of a possible replacement might actually be true. "In the news all the say is I'm replacing you, they think I can woo the demo," sang Jimmy.Then Jay (or... someone) replied, "So the network says here's an idea, pack your bags, take a hike, NBC-ya."Watch the parody of "Tonight, Tonight" below. Do you think Jimmy would make a good replacement for Jay?

Clayton Kershaw Home Run Shutout Performance Lifts Dodgers Over Giants (VIDEO)

LOS ANGELES — Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Then another Dodgers left-hander with a great curveball dominated. Clayton Kershaw launched his first career home run to break a scoreless tie in the eighth inning before finishing off a four-hitter Monday that led Los Angeles over the defending champion San Francisco Giants 4-0 on opening day. "He gave us seven chances to take care of it, and finally he said, `That's enough. I'm going to take care of it,'" catcher A.J. Ellis said.Kershaw became the first pitcher in the majors to homer on opening day since Joe Magrane of St. Louis in 1988, and the first Dodgers pitcher to do it since Don Drysdale in 1965.I never knew what that felt like,” Kershaw said.Dodgers Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax, wearing his vintage No. 32 jersey, threw out the ceremonial first ball. In 1964, Koufax pitched the first opening-day shutout at Dodger Stadium.The Dodgers and Giants have been discussing a long-term contract extension in recent weeks, and it's easy to understand why. The 2011 NL Cy Young Award winner is pretty clearly the best left-handed pitcher in baseball at this point, and at his age he should still have many more years of elite production ahead of him. Justin Verlander just signed a record $180 million contract, but Kershaw figures to push $200 million. What a monster.
