May 8, 2023 News and Notes

•  Almost the cruelest of fates for Notts County:  The runaway #2 in the National League of English soccer needed a sixth-minute of stoppage time goal to tie Boreham Wood, and then a 120th minute (last minute of extra time goal) to defeat them 3-2 to get to face Chesterville (who needed extra time themselves after ten-man Bromley got a goal in the NINTH MINUTE of stoppage time!) for one promotion spot in London next week!
• Today is the final day of the Fantasy Faire, and, as noted yesterday, all records have been broken.
• Just over $115,000 entering the final day.
• About another $4,000 or so will get them to $750,000 for the Faire's 15 years of service to the American Cancer Society.
• Incident last night between Suns owner Mat Ishbia and Nikola Jocic of the Nuggets during the Suns' series-squaring win last night in Phoenix.  Jocic apparently hit Ishbia with an elbow after Ishbia grabbed a ball out of bounds and was given a T for it.
• Ishbia does not want Jocic suspended, however.  Appears to indicate some mutual responsibility.   
• Jocic will not be suspended.
• Apparently some discussion that NFL teams want to lure Andrew Luck out of retirement (three years worth!).  Jim Irsay of the Colts indicates that would be tampering.  And he's right!  The bigger news appears to be that discussion.
