IBml' Brought to You by Steve McBee Can you name the two father-son tandems in the NFL Hall of Fame? They are Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney and his late father, Art, and New York Giants founder Tim Mara and his son, Welling- ton, who passed away dur-i ing the 2005 season. Well- ington was the man most responsible for the NFL parity that has made it the most successful league in all of sports. In the early 1960s, he agreed not to sell his team's individual broadcast rights in the nation's largest media mar- ket, opting instead to be part of a league-wide TV contract in which revenue was shared equally among all franchises. Charlotte Bobcats center Emeka Okafor was the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2004-05 with good reason, registering double digits in points and rebounds for 19 consecutive games at one point in the season. That's the second longest double- double streak by a rookie in league history, but it isn't even close to the record. Any guesses who holds it and how long it is? Incred- ibly, Elvin Hayes registered a double-double in 60 games in a row as a rookie for the old San Diego Rockets in 1968-69. Ready for a new sport? You're not going to believe this one: chessboxing. That's right, chessboxing. It's catching on overseas, where Bulgaria's Tihomir Titschko defeated Ger- many's Andreas Schneider in October of 2005 to win ,the first European chess- boxing championship in Berlin. The sport is played by alternating a round of boxing with a period of chess - box, play chess, box, play chess. The match was scheduled for 11 rounds, the win earned by knockout or l checkmate. Schneider called it quits in the ninth round. There was no word on what his position was on the board at the time. I bet you didn't know...
