Items we didn’t even get to…

6. Fury > Wilder: In what was purportedly the biggest boxing match in years, Tyson Fury knocks down reigning heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder twice before Wilder’s corner tossed in the towel in the 7th round. Fury is 6’9″ and shares a name with the greatest heavyweight of the past 40 years. He’s also white but I didn’t hear many GWH references.

7. Another Miracle, 40 Years Later: A 42 year-old Zamboni driver named Dave Ayres stepped into the net for the Carolina Hurricanes in a pinch on Saturday night and won. Ayres was seated at the ScotiaBank Arena in Toronto when Carolina’s goaltender went down with an injury in warm-ups. Then their backup net minder was hurt during the second period. Ayres came out of the stands and allowed goals on the first two shots he faced, then stopped the next eight. Carolina defeated the Maple Leafs, 6-3, and Ayres became the oldest goalie in NHL history to win his career debut. Here comes a Disney film.

8. Killer Chairlift: Been meaning to investigate this all week. How does a skier suffocate to death on a chairlift? This happened in Vail. The decedent was Jason Varnish, 46, of New Jersey. According to the Vail coroner Kara Bettis: “According to our initial investigation, the deceased slipped through the seat of the chair lift and his ski coat got caught up in the chair. The chairlift’s folding seat was left in the upright position which created a gap when Varnish went to sit down and his coat got caught around his head and neck area, cutting off his airway.“
