Hopefully, I'll be the first man to ever win three championships on three different teams. I was the first one to do it on two different teams." Dennis Rodman to Jay Leno during Friday's "Tonight Show" appearance. Editor's note: Um, Dennis, Jay might have left that statement unchallenged, but we cannot. The following players might have performed before the "daze" of tattoos and multicolored hair dye jobs, but they did win championships with two different teams before you did. You can look it up, there's at least six: Wilt Chamberlain (Philadelphia 76ers, L.A. Lakers), Kareem Abdul-Jabb(Milwaukee Bucks, LA Lakers), Jamaal Wilkes (Golden State Warriors, L.A. Lakers), Bill Walton (Portland Trail Blazers, Boston Celtics), Mitch Kupchak (Washington Bullets, L.A. Lakers) and ar Dennis Johnson (Seattle SuperSonics, Boston Celtics). Football Oops. The Chicago Bears wanted Dave McGinnis to bring the black and blue back to their defense. What they got instead was a red face on one of the most embarrassing days in their long history. Instead of meeting the press, McGinnis left the building. And the Bears were left to explain why they announced they had a coach when it wasn't a completed deal. "The matter has not been resolved," team spokesman Bryan Harlan said. 'There will not be an announcement today." It was a colossal blunder. The Bears refused to say why talks broke down, but McGinnis, the Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator and a former Bears assistant, reportedly was unhappy in part because the team announced he was the coach before he had a contract. Gunther Cunningham, who screams at players one minute and hugs them the next but apparently always commands their respect, is Kansas City's choice to replace Marty Schottenheimer as coach. As the Chiefs' defensive coordinator for four years, the intense, personable Cunningham became popular with everyone in the organization and twice molded a unit that led the NFL in fewest points allowed. "I am euphoric at finally getting this opportunity," said Cunningham.

The Jacobsen scored most of his points on the low block, consistently spinning and juking his way to the basket. "Chad had no legs tonight," Springville coach Gregg Smith said.
