1. If it's June 17, we have to remember one of the wildest days in sports history, capped off by the greatest prank phone call in TV history.
June 17, 1994—26 years ago today—Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Rockets and Knicks was interrupted by the O.J. Simpson Bronco chase. I've already written that one of the sports networks should've aired this game, unedited, during this period without live sports, but no luck so far.
Earlier that day, the New York Rangers had their Stanley Cup parade, the U.S. Open took place and the World Cup final was played.
