This is old, but it’s probably new to some of you: Here’s the pole dance set to the Harry Potter score that you always wanted to see, but could never bring yourself to admit. You’re welcome.

Stabbed, at a nightclub in Washington, DC, Redskins wide receiver/kick returner Brandon Banks. One report claims that Banks’s insult of the defendant’s clothing might have prompted the attack. As if those Redskins with their yellow pants should talk. Also: Banks’s teammate, defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth, has been accused of sexual assault, but not charged.

Died, at age 79, Wisconsin native Bob Cook. Cook was one of four men featured in a popular credit card ad who had attended the first 44 Super Bowls, starting with Super Bowl I ( the AFL–NFL World Championship Game) in 1967. Cook made a last-minute decision to skip Super Bowl XLV in Dallas on February 6, choosing instead to watch the game with friends and family on television.

Defeated, by 13th-ranked Wisconsin on Saturday, the Ohio State men’s basketball team. The Buckeyes had won all of their previous 24 games and were the last team in Division I to lose a game. Jordan Taylor scored 27 points, 21 of which came in the second half. Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger reported being spit on by Wisconsin fans before and after the game. The Badgers close out their series with Ohio State in Columbus on March 6. Get your lozenges ready?
