Pens Win the Cup, Vick, Hanson, etc.

Good day...

  • Pittsburgh wins the Stanley Cup....that's not even the story to me....it's still hockey and largely irrelevant to me (and this blog) BUT I can't help but to reference it today simply b/c the Pens won a Game 7 IN DETROIT(!) to win the Cup after having been down 2-0, buried alive...and subsequently buried again before Game 7...I didn't see one person pick Pittsburgh...not one...Congrats to Malkin, Crosby, and the boys
  • Falcons release Mike Vick....a surreal day for any Falcons fan who suffered through the early days of his case/suspension... pretty crazy to think that less than 3 years after he set the QB Rushing record, the Falcons would be unable to garner even a 7th round pick for him....pretty insane...
  • Trent Green retires....probably best known for his time in KC and the fact that he was the one injured to make way for Kurt Warner's improbable back-to-back MVP run and SB title... he had a nice 15-year career...big ups
  • Tommy Hanson returned to the mound...with better results.... 2 ER and a win....more of that to come please
  • A rivalry already brewing? I love this kind of stuff....Brandon Jennings (of "I went to Europe to skip college" fame) has started a verbal spat with Spanish sensation Ricky Rubio saying that he is "overrated" and "clearly not the best PG prospect in this class"...I love it...get this party started early...and do it with a high-top fade...
  • 2 injury notes from MLB... Jake Peavy out a month...that hurts SD big-time even though he hasn't been quite as dominant as years past....and Roy Halladay leaves early with a groin injury in the 4th inning last night....I'll keep you posted

That'll do it for now...
