Who says there's no "10" in the "10 Spot" anymore:

• Memphis freshman Derrick Rose was the No. 1 pick of an NBA Draft that featured a record 10 freshmen going in the first round. That's a lot of teenagers. Even Michael Jackson thought they seemed a little young. (Hey-ohh!)

• The Nets shipped Richard Jefferson to the Bucks in a move that many viewed as clearing salary-cap space to make a run at potential free agent LeBron James in 2010. The Nets' edge is that LeBron is good friends with the team's co-owner, rapper Jay-Z. Now the Knicks are sorry they parted ways with Notorious D.U.M.B., aka Isiah Thomas.

Mindy McCready, Roger Clemens' possible paramour, has been arrested and charged with violating her probation for allegedly falsifying her community service records. Come on, I'm sure she just misremembered.

• It seems authorities became suspicious because McCready's records consisted entirely of decade-old golf receipts.

• Umpire Brian Runge was suspended one game for bumping Mets manager Jerry Manuel before ejecting him on Tuesday. Actually, Runge dodged a bullet -- the league originally considered making him watch the Mets for an entire week.

• A wealthy Russian socialite was promising two "beautiful chicks" for each player who scored for Russia in yesterday's Euro '08 semifinal against Spain. Still, the players won't go home empty-handed after getting clobbered 3-0 -- they're each getting a copy of Mini-Me's sex tape.

Michelle Wie had a quintuple-bogey 9 during her first-round 81 at the U.S. Women's Open. She should have taken Nike's advice and let them break her leg. Hey. it worked for Tiger.

O.J. Simpson told a North Dakota radio station that his kidnapping and armed robbery case is simply due to an "ambitious prosecutor." O.J., of course, much prefers his prosecutors amateurish.

• Lou Piniella has been selected to replace fired Mets manager Willie Randolph on the NL coaching staff for next month's All-Star Game. And this was a nice touch -- the 3 a.m. phone call to inform Randolph was handled by the super-qualified Hillary Clinton.

• Quote of the day, from Alla Kudryavtseva on beating Maria Sharapova yesterday at Wimbledon: "I don't like her outfit. Can I put it this way? It was one of my motivations to beat her." Plus, evidently Maria totally flirted in the hall with a guy that she so knew Alla liked.

Haha. This is funny. McCready misremembered.

June 27, 2008  02:48 PM ET

Good ones, Pete. Like the Notorious D.U.M.B.

I bet that would garner higher ratings than watching them play tennis...

I don't know which is sadder - that OJ can only get media attention in North Dakota, or that North Dakota is so slow that OJ is news.

The first part of it is really true, BTW. Or at least, that's what one of the British tabloids wrote. It had a quote from the Russian in question, who apparently is well-known for finding brides for wealthy Russians, and from one of the players saying something like, "A lot of us are bachelors, so two chicks is a great incentive."

I never understood the insult "You fight like a girl."

Has anyone here ever fought with a girl? Girls who don't know how to fight with punches are vicious...hair pulling, toe-stomping, spitting, scratching little she-devils.

June 27, 2008  02:56 PM ET

Come on, I'm sure she just misremembered.
--------------------
I'm sure this misunderstanding can be cleared up if she just brings in a note from her sugardaddy...

June 27, 2008  02:56 PM ET

Sorry, kitten fight, kitten fight.

When guys fight, there is pretty well defined set of understood rules... girls fighting is no holds barred and anything goes...
