Basketball is very dangerous. They don't have helmets! If you fall your knie can bleed. |

At least when these guys make the big bucks it's cause they're a hair's breath away from death everyday. What the hell is with pro baseball players making such big salaries? Wow, hit by a pitch really compares to 200 mph into a wall (I understand the whole economics of their salaries and the amounts the owners are making, but still, they're overpaid). |

The championship isn't quite clinched yet. Almost, but not quite. |

F1's Schumacher Slams Into Wall
Updated 8:32 AM ET July 17, 2001
MONZA, Italy (AP) - Michael Schumacher slammed into a rubberized wall at about 185 mph during practice Tuesday, but the Formula One leader was back at his garage after a brief hospital stay.
Schumacher was one of 10 racers practicing for the German Grand Prix on July 29. His Ferrari lost control and skidded off the Monza course, hitting the protective wall.
Schumacher, bidding for a fourth driver's title, was rushed to a hospital, where he was checked for less than 30 minutes. The 32-year-old German returned to the Ferrari garage at the Monza complex without any apparent injuries.
Giancarlo Fisichella, driving his Benetton Renault behind Schumacher, told the ANSA news service that the impact with the wall was "violent."
There were no immediate reports on damage to the vehicle, which was the only Ferrari brought to Monza for testing Tuesday.
If Schumacher wins on his home course, he will match Alain Prost's career record of 51 victories. |
