Heavy metal art, Gus Johnson, and Bam! goes sports bar....

1) Metallica's Lars Ulrich is a different dude. He's the son of a champion tennis player, a heavy metal drummer, and now, heavy-duty art collector.

2) Detroiter Gus Johnson has a new broadcasting gig: he's doing radio play-by-play for Madison Square Garden/the Knicks. It's a multi-year deal, allowing him to do some TV too.

3) Bam! Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse is getting into the sports bar business in Las Vegas. Unlike a lot of the chefs on Food Network (cough, Rachael Ray, cough), Emeril has real cooking chops.

No faux-hawk

Just wanted to make a few corrections - it is not a faux hawk. The haircut is called a RAYHAWK! Secondly, our baseball team is not the Devil Rays they are now the Tampa Bay Rays!

By the way, the young man was moving that weekend to a new home and a different school system so it didn't really matter.
