Where Did The Goalies Go?
Andrew Lickenbrock has created this handy-dandy map to show movement in the days leading up to an especially goalie-heavy trade deadline.

Cortland Finnegan Uses Twitter To Tell The Rams He's Leaving
CB Cortland Finnegan followed Jeff Fisher to the Rams, but in his second season in St. Louis he's been terrible and injured.

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.

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....
