A column notes problematic sports behavior from university and professional levels. It critiques a Miami football coaching hire after Dennis Erickson and mocks trash talk while honoring sports lingo. The piece also recalls a Phoenix hunting trip hoax and a Las Vegas romance detour amid pop culture references by Gus Schrader in The Gazette.
New Haven readers learn of killer sponges found in a Mediterranean cave. Scientists Boury Esnault and Vacelet report sponges that capture small shrimp up to a quarter inch, with possible ranges in the Atlantic and Pacific.
The study notes three quarters of an inch tall sponges with white oval bodies in a Marseille cave. They snag prey with threadlike structures, entrap animals, and slowly digest meals over days. Sponges evolved to rely on evolved feeding, becoming highly adaptable and not dangerous to humans.
