SMARTER THAN THE AVERAGE BEAR; DUMBER THAN THE AVERAGE FORWARD: Among the motivational tools Miami Heat Coach Pat Riley used during the Detroit series was a Yogi Berra quote he taped to each player's locker. Power forward Udonis Haslem misunderstood. "He gave us a Yogi Bear quote,'' Haslem told reporters in South Florida. "I can't remember what it was, but he said it was something from Yogi Bear. To be honest, I don't even know too much about Yogi Bear. How old is that cartoon? I know a little about it, but not much."

 BASEBALL
OFF HIS ROCKER: John Rocker reported to the Richmond Braves after considering whether to walk away from baseball altogether. And how would he make a living? "I would be a stockbroker, probably," he told WKLS-FM's morning show. Rocker was sent down to the minors one day after he threatened the reporter who wrote the story in which the Atlanta reliever disparaged gays, minorities and foreigners. Braves officials insisted Rocker's demotion was unrelated to the confrontation. (Of course, these are the guys who insist their toothy, red-skinned, mascot with a feather on its head is not a stereotype). So how can you tell if Rocker is your stockbroker? Let's take a look...
He starts crying every time you say the word "trade."
Thinks it's against nature to be "in bed" with an International broker.
Prefers "KKK" rating to "AAA" rating.
Threatens to kick your ass for even suggesting that you diversify.
The only way to get him to let you invest in China is to convince him you're talking about Franklin Mint commemorative Elvis plates.
All your money ends up in NASCAR, not NASDAQ.
He puts all your money in "Yahoo!" because there aren't any stocks called "Redneck!" or "Stupid Cracker!"
Thinks "covering your shorts" is something you do in Greenwich Village.
When Wall Street has a rally, he shows up in a white hood.
TENNIS
Tennis champion Pete Sampras and actress Brigette Wilson are still on their honeymoon in an undisclosed location as of Wednesday night...
... If they get divorced, you think it will be in grass or clay court?

JOKE OF THE WEEK
An elementary teacher starts a new job at a school in San Diego and trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she's a Chargers fan.
She asks the class to raise their hands if they too are Charger fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says: "Jessica, why didn't you raise your hand?" "Because I'm not a Chargers fan," she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asked: "Well, if you're not a Chargers fan, then who do you support?"
I'm a 49ers fan, and proud of it," Jessica replied. The teacher could not believe her ears. "Jessica, why are you a 49ers fan?" "Because my Mom and Dad are from the Bay Area and my Mom is a 49ers fan and my dad is a 49ers fan, so I'm a 49ers fan too."
"Well, said the teacher, in an obviously annoyed tone, that's no reason for you to be a 49ers fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your Mom was a prostitute and your Dad was a drug addict and a car thief, what would you be then?"
Jessica said, "Then I'd be a Raiders fan."
HUNTING
Just one day after being criticized for wringing the neck of a pheasant that had been shot while hunting, Britain's Queen Elizabeth went to church Sunday wearing pheasant feathers in her hat...
