Avery and Malik rumble at practice
Sure enough, there the gangly defenseman and mouthy forward were 40 minutes into today's MSG Training Center practice, gloves shed and fists balled. Nobody got hurt - fact is, using his far superior reach, Malik won on points what turned into a Greco-Roman wrestling match. But that a fight broke out at all in a non-training camp Rangers practice was stunning. It was believed to be the first since Jeff Beukeboom and Eddie Olczyk duked it out at Rye Playland during the '94 season. An omen? Here's how things shook out: Avery was driving down the right wing with the puck in a one-on-one drill when he lost his stick trying to cut in on Malik. The big defenseman rode the stickless and hunched-over winger to the backboards, where he administered an extra hit.

Rutgers is trading in its trademark scarlet for hot pink uniforms and shoes with pink details as part of the "Think Pink" campaign aimed at raising breast cancer awareness. Tennessee men's coach Bruce Pearl has hinted he may show up for the game in head-to-toe pink, too. Summitt said she's excited about supporting the campaign, but won't be taking it that far.

The antidotes to a lame red carpet season
Did anyone within the sound of my keyboard watch the Golden Globes ceremony Sunday night? Nah, me neither.
For one thing, I've had . . . Let's call it “abdominal melodrama," off and on since Wednesday. Consequently, I simply wasn't in the mood for anything at all by Glenn Miller.
Moreover, this writer's strike has sucked the blood out of my beloved red-carpet season. Now, I'm not saying picketing on the part of Hollywood scribes isn't a smidgen necessary. But dangit to Denver, Alexis, I need my fix of what-was-she-thinkin' dresses and shut-up-already acceptance speeches.
I'm still holding out hope for the Academy Awards, for which nominations are announced a week from today at some unholy dawn-rush hour on the West Coast.
In preparation for the Oscars, considered the apex of the awards-show equinox (don't you just love a thesaurus?), I have a little to-do list to help make you, your wardrobe and/or someone who needs help a measure more ready for your own red-carpet moments this year.
