This may have been one of the most bizarre weeks in sports history.

Legs snapping on national television, pucks breaking jaws, basketballs thrown at players by coaches. Baseball in the snow. A baseball team that makes less contact than SETI.

So much to cover. So little space.

You don’t have to be Al Roker to know the weather has been like springtime in Antarctica around here.

Luckily, Pullman Park exists. If it were not for the historic park and its artificial turf infield, mound and home plate area, many baseball teams would still be stuck on zero games.

With that said, sometimes common sense needs to prevail. Pullman Park has hosted some frigid games the last two weeks, including one between Knoch and Pine-Richland Tuesday in which the temperature plunged into the 20s.

The week before, Butler and Knoch played a similarly cold game amid snow squalls. It was so bad, a fielder lost a popup in the snow.

Baseball isn’t meant to be played in such blustery conditions. It’s only the first week in April. There’s plenty of time (and warmer days) ahead to get these games in.

Future career opportunities for Mike Rice, who was fired as the Rutgers men’s basketball coach as a video surfaced of him throwing basketballs at his players during practice, among other abuses: Average Joe’s Gym dodgeball coach, fifth-starter for the Pittsburgh Pirates, N.Y. Jets quarterback.

The broken leg suffered by Louisville’s Kevin Ware was the most grotesque thing I have seen in a sporting event.

It trumps Joe Theismann’s broken leg in 1985. It was worse than Tim Krumrie’s broken leg in Super Bowl XXIII. It was more gruesome than Jason Kendall’s dislocated ankle.

No amount of “The Walking Dead” marathons can desensitize you to something like that.

The debate about visors and facemasks in the NHL has been rekindled with the recent injuries to Marc Staal and Sidney Crosby.

Staal, who doesn’t wear a visor, nearly lost an eye when a deflected puck struck him, then Crosby lost a few teeth and suffered a broken jaw when a slap shot smacked him in the grill.

Facemasks are manditory in college hockey and they probably should be in the NHL.

It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

The Houston Astros could be epically bad.

In the first series of the season, Astro batters struck out 42 times in 91 at-bats, nearly had a perfect game tossed against them and somehow managed to win one of the three.

With a payroll that is less than what 21 individual players will make in the majors this season, it’s not a complete surprise Houston will be putrid.

I for one am rooting for the ‘Stros this season. I can relate. I struck out in nearly half my at-bats when I played, too.
