Don't send Nancy Kerrigan this tweet

I get what Kristi Yamaguchi was going for here. After all, she was just wishing for fellow Olympian and current Dancing With The Stars contestant Nancy Kerrigan to do well in her dance competition. But with Kerrigan, you probably should word it somewhat differently than this:

> So excited for you [@NancyAKerrigan](https://twitter.com/NancyAKerrigan) ! Can't wait to see you grace that ballroom floor, break a leg! πŸ’ƒπŸ»[\#DWTS](https://twitter.com/hashtag/DWTS?src=hash) > > β€” Kristi Yamaguchi (@kristiyamaguchi) [March 20, 2017](https://twitter.com/kristiyamaguchi/status/843849542562865153)

Oops. Remember in 1994, when Kerrigan's leg was injured in an attack that was planned by competitor Tonya Harding's ex-husband? Kerrigan had to withdraw from the figure skating national championship.

Just be careful with who you tell to "break a leg."

Iguana visits pro tennis tournament

The Miami Open is taking place this week, and this year's tournament had a surprising visitor.

While "Iggy" interrupted play for a few moments, it was enough that competitor Tommy Haas got a selfie with his match's spectator:

Sidney Crosby goal ==================

Sidney Crosby is a unique talent, and he shows the hockey world over and over again. On this goal, he races through the Buffalo defense, then scores with a one-handed shot while he's fighting off the last line of defense with his other hand. Take a look:

Take a bow, Sidney.
