MAVS ANNOUNCER SUSPENSION RESCINDED
The NBA does a 180 after suspending the Dallas Mavericks' announcer for his Twitter tirade.
Originally, the NBA suspended Sean Heath, the PA announcer for the Mavs -- for two games after he criticized the refs on Twitter.
Friday afternoon, the NBA took back the suspension, opting instead to fine the team $25,000 for the tweets.
Heath posted 6 of them on April 1st including these two:
@nba Danny Crawford just blew a goaltending call and cost the Mavs a game. We will all be awaiting your apology. #pathetic

@nba : The ONLY professional league in the US with the reputation that the games are rigged. Know why? Because of games like tonight. #shame

The NBA later admitted the refs missed the call.
Mavs fans used the #freeseanheath as a show of support on Twitter.
@theseanheath I heard about your err...predicament. You are our hero! You are the voice of 20,000 screaming fans! #respect #freeseanheath

HEDGEHOG INTERNET STAR
An unusual pet is quickly becoming an internet star.
It's a pet hedgehog that has Twitter, Vine and Instagram followers approaching the 100 thousand mark.
People can't get enough of Marutaro -- and the clever homemade face masks his owner makes for him.

His owner -- who wants to remain anonymous - says the masks are meant to convey the hedgehog's "colorful" personality.
RED RAIDER DANCE OFF
College football spring practices have started across the country and the Texas Tech Red Raiders closed out Thursday's workout in an interesting way.
Head coach Kliff Kingsbury called all his players together for a dance off.
The players went head to head -- battling it out for bragging rights.
The best part is when Kingsbury himself gets into the mix, wearing a shirt that says "Too Turnt Up" and doing "The Stanky Leg."
