Today, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that wrestling be removed from the 2020 Olympic Games . The recommendation was ultimately made by secret ballot of several rounds, and wrestling was voted out from a final group that included modern pentathlon, taekwondo and field hockey. This is an unsettling decision for many in the pro wrestling community, a landscape that is full of successful amateur wrestlers at all levels, including former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, a TNA wrestler.

If there was one complaint about the Baltimore Grand Prix from IndyCar drivers Sunday, it was that the course could have used one more area where it was feasible to pass. The course was set up so that drivers had to be patient, and most of them were. But the one time a driver tried to press the issue, the result was chaos. On Lap 37, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Ryan Briscoe were coming around the tightest turn on the course — No. 3, which asked drivers to make a 180-degree change of direction on Light Street — when Briscoe tried to slip inside Hunter-Reay's car. Briscoe's front left tire clipped Hunter-Reay's right side, and both cars spun out, blocking nearly the entire track.

The Maryland Correctional Training Center "has a lot of under-25s," Mark Vernarelli e-mailed me this week, "and they historically are more prone to violence, gang association, etc." Vernarelli is the director of public information for the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. He wrote to tell me about a mentoring program at MCTC called "Friends of a Friend," which had its first graduation ceremony Wednesday night. But Vernarelli didn't tell me how many make up "a lot."

Despite having star center Henry Sims in foul trouble, top-ranked Mount St. Joseph overcame a career-high 36 points by Jamar Briscoe to beat host Cardinal Gibbons, 68-63. "I've never gotten that many points in a game, and not against Mount St. Joe, the No. 1 team in the area," said Briscoe, a McDonald's All-America nominee along with Sims and Sean Mosley of St. Frances. "I was just trying to play hard and trying to get a big win. Henry killed us last game with 14 points and 20 rebounds, so we were focusing on Henry, but I take my hat off to their guards."
