Here are some final morsels as you batten down the hatches for the Final Four:
• Browns defensive back Kerry Wright was arrested on Thursday when police caught up to him after a quarter-mile foot chase. That's the bad news. The good news is Wright totally smoked the first 40 yards.
• Brett Favre told SI.com's Peter King this morning that he's definitely not considering a comeback despite published reports to that effect. Damn good thing too, since I already bought that special-edition Favre retirement book from SI.
• UNC junior Tyler Hansbrough has been named the AP's college player of the year. Very interesting balloting. Any time a rival got close to Hansbrough, the Tar Heel received two free votes.
• Madison Square Garden has unveiled plans for a $500 million, top-to-bottom renovation. It was either that or re-sign Jerome James.
• A hawk attacked a 13-year-old girl at Fenway Park on Thursday. Really, where's Tripp Isenhour when you need him?
• The Reds were dazzled by Thursday's one-hit, 10-strikeout debut of 22-year-old pitcher Johnny Cueto. Cincy manager Dusty Baker says Cueto has the best young arm he's seen since he shredded Mark Prior and Kerry Wood's.
• Bears coach Lovie Smith endorsed Barack Obama for president this week. Uh oh, this could backfire on Obama. Indeed, the Clinton campaign immediately pointed out that Smith has also backed Rex Grossman.
• NBC is reportedly close to a deal to cover the NHL next season. Sure, that'll get the network out of the ratings basement.
• From the SI Vault: With a nod to 10 Spot favorite reader Jen, here's Curry Kirkpatrick's SI story about N.C. State's shocking upset of Houston's Phi Slamma Jamma. That victory took place 25 years ago today (April 4, 1983) in Albuquerque, N.M. Who among us doesn't remember where they were when Lorenzo Charles caught Dereck Whittenburg's airball and jammed it through at the buzzer? As an added bonus, the 10 Spot has commissioned a blue-ribbon panel consisting of a theologian, a philosopher and a physicist to determine precisely where Jen was at that moment.

Pete - #1 would've been funnier if you posted the reason WHY he got arrested. They found Marijuana in his truck.

Oh, and I loved the "two free votes" line!

Yes, that was the point. She was several years away from being born. Thus the occupations of the panel-members that will take up the question of where she was at the time.
