Ken Griffey Jr. Did Not Enjoy This ESPN Interview
Ken Griffey Jr. did a spot on SportsCenter today to talk about a partnership with Upper Deck trading cards or something, and he acted like a guy who would rather have been anywhere else. Griffey's eyes are the cold, dead eyes of a man who is on his 14th PR hit of the week....

Confessions Of A Nail-Biter
My mom suspended her college education in order to have kids, and so I was five years old when she finally received her bachelor's degree. We drove down to her school for a tasteful graduation luncheon. I remember they had free soda. At some point, while my mom was mingling with her classmates, I...
Miami Pitcher Throws Perfect Game On Night Brother Does Play-By-Play
Miami senior Javi Salas threw a perfect game for the Hurricanes last night against the Villanova Wildcats. Even if the final score wasn't that dramatic—Miami won 17-0—there was another hook: Salas's little brother, Jorge, had the call for the Miami student radio station. It's awesome....

Martin St. Louis Tantrums His Way Out Of Tampa
It's official: Lightning legend Martin St. Louis has been traded to the Rangers for Ryan Callahan, and first- and second-round draft picks (with some contingent minor changes). A bizarre captain-for-captain deal, and one pretty much engineered by St. Louis himself....

How Davone Bess's Career Collapsed In 12 Months
The Browns announced this morning they have cut ties with receiver Davone Bess.

Russell Westbrook Needed Only 21 Minutes To Get A Triple-Double
Yes, it was against what is essentially a D-League team, but Russell Westbrook's 21-minute bludgeoning of the 76ers is worth being excited about. 13 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds in 21 minutes isn't something that just happens to a guy coming off his second knee surgery of the year. 13 points...

Martin Brodeur Asks Out Of New Jersey. But Who Else Would Want Him?
Last night's win over the Red Wings, his 684th all-time, was either Martin Brodeur's last start as a Devil, or his last start as a Devil until Friday (when NJ takes on Detroit again in the first half of back-to-backs). So no one knew quite how to act....
