Throwing Smoke Update

Periodically, the writers of Throwing Smoke will update stories previously reported:

Tommy Morrison won his fight last Thursday with a second round TKO over John Castle. If you don't want HIV, now add Castle to the list of people never to share a toothbrush with.

Tim Hardaway was banished during all-star weekend last month by the NBA. Hardaway had already been in Las Vegas to make a series of public appearances on behalf of the league.

Floyd Mayweather Sr. will in fact be in his son's corner for his fight against Oscar De La Hoya on May 5th. That is unless Oscar ponies up $2mill or he gets arrested for smuggling coke in detergent boxes again.

Mark Messier's jersey retirement came and went in Edmonton last weekend. Expect a baby boom in Oil-town in 9 months.
