Magic spend the night in Cincy

From Sports Illustrated.com via the Associated Press:

The Orlando Magic's flight from Detroit to Orlando was diverted because of a mechanical problem.

Team spokesman Joel Glass says the plane landed in Cincinnati as a precaution late Monday.

No one was injured and the team was expected to arrive in Orlando today. Just add more complications to a series that is already looking bleak for the Magic.

Haha

I know a guy, a cashier at Costco, who helped Rashard with his groceries (or something like that). It’s good to know that even the filthy rich have the fiscal sense to buy in bulk.

At first I kinda stared at him for a bit b/c with the hat I wasn’t positive it was him. But the earrings, plus the being 6-10 thing, I realized it was definitely him :D I didn’t have the heart to go up to him and start squealing about the Magic b/c he was carrying his baby girl around while his wife shopped. It was so sweeeeet :D /girl moment

I was waiting in line once with my parents at the Boston Fish House when Shaquille O’Neal got up to leave. Half the employees took their picture with him and there I am in the line in the background grinning like an idiot. That was only a few years ago, too.

I’m not sure why I’ve run into two basketball players when I’m around food…

I saw Grant Hill

A few years ago at a Best Buy (the one on I Drive) around Christmas time. I was trying not to be obvious, but I was right there next to him. No one bothered him and left him alone to do his Christmas shopping. I was right behind him at one point and was worried he’d accidentally step on me and cause another ankle injury.

My older brother saw Brian Cook at a Gamestop a few months back.
