By the Way:Cleveland cagers CAVS [Why are basketballers called cagers? The original goal was a peach basket. Then the basket’s bottom was cut out so the ball would fall through. Where’s the cage come from?]

There is a rapper named LUPE FIASCO [probably sold more records than Sinatra]
Some Nits to Pick:Chap LAD [while in speech they can be used interchangebly, a lad is a youth but a chap is an adult --- in US speech, boys and men are also used interchangeably, but it would be a bit unsporting if the clue were
