Wednesday's Hot Clicks: Tina Brady; Bartolo Colon Rides a Scooter
Bartolo Colon Rides Scooter
Happy day-before-Thanksgiving! Hope everyone gets to wherever they are going quickly and without much traffic. I'll be writing one edition of Hot Clicks today, Thursday and Friday, which should be posted by 9 a.m. each day, then back to normal schedule with the Weekend Clicks and Monday versions. As for today's lead item, Bartolo Colon rode a scooter in a sleeveless LeBron James jersey. And for that, I am thankful.
Whoops!
Game 1 of the MLS Eastern Conference final was delayed Tuesday night because the people who painted the penalty boxes measured incorrectly and the lines all had to be redone. Twitter, as expected, had some jokes about the incident.

One Way to Celebrate an Upset
Congrats to Fort Wayne, which upset No. 3 Indiana Wednesday night for its first win ever over a Top 25 team. Fans stormed the court after the final buzzer and one student even drank bleach (or, if I may venture a guess, alcohol in a bleach bottle).

Navy Basketball Players Get Their Assignments
The five members of Navy's Class of 2017 receive their service assignments for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Due to the timing of the team's three-game road trip in North Carolina last week, the men's basketball players received their service assignments surrounded by teammates, rather than in Bancroft Hall with their companies.
