The Heat’s Rashard Lewis, commenting on LeBron James and Wade’s joking relationship, called them “Frick and Frack.” Lewis is thus thought to be the first athlete in 50 years to make reference to the Swiss comic skaters who joined the original Ice Follies in the late 1930s.

• In other Heat news, Chris “Birdman” Andersen’s tattoos have hired their own agent.

• A group led by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush looked into buying the Marlins, but Jeffrey Loria said he has no interest in selling. The nine words that follow “but” might be the saddest ever assembled.

• No. 1 Indiana losing marked the fifth consecutive week the nation’s top-ranked men’s basketball team has lost. This season, the madness isn’t waiting for March.

• Tennis star Rafael Nadal has returned from a seven-month absence following knee surgery. Thank goodness. Capri pants had been flying at half-mast for far too long.

•  Mike Tyson said he still supports Lance Armstrong. Hey, with friends like that …

•  Parting thought: The Marlins signed a relief pitcher, Jon Rauch, who is 6-11. If he can rebound, somebody give him Erik Spoelstra’s number.
